One of my favorites, still, is his early role as "Dr. Mark Toland" in "One Life To Live." Also remember his cameo as one of "Oliver Barrett IV's" poker playing buddies in "Love Story". Of his most recent, I've thoroughly enjoyed "Space Cowboys"! A very talented guy!
I was his driver for several years and kinda a personal assistant, I think he gets a bad wrap. He was the kindest, toughest and funniest man ever! Adore him forever....
@@darkl3ad3r What do you think? Just use a bit of logical deduction, here. Does James Lipton get a bad wrap? No. He's largely enjoyed. TLJ, on the other hand, can be considered grumpy, arrogant, and too cool for school. Obviously, he was referring to TLJ.
@@strats991 in the other comments there are plenty of people saying he came off as bothered and rude for his early attitude about native Americans. On the other hand I've never heard anything negative about Tommy. Not to mention, Tommy is still alive and the guy who claimed to be his driver speaks of his existence in the past tense.
Tommy is a real Cowboy & as a life long horseman i can tell you , his portrayal in Lonesome Dove, along with Mr Duval is regarded as one of if not the most accurate of any Cowboy movie or tv show ever made
Yes, all he had to say was ‘oh really, can you tell me more, I wasn’t aware “. Instead he doubled down on ‘yes, both Native Americans’. As if all tribes are the same. Sheesh..it’s basic knowledge of the differences Mr. Jones was trying to say yet Lipton made it awkward by being dismissive.
Tommy tries to correct Lipton about his heritage. Lipton begins by not knowing that Jones is a Welsh name.....not a good start. Lipton then is dismissive of the difference between Comanche and Cherokee. Cherokee were/are an agrarian and peaceful tribe. Comanche were known for their aggressive and violent nature. Lipton was unprepared and I think a bit off kilter for the remainder of the interview. He missed an opportunity to be educated and it was obvious he knows nothing about Native American history. Tommy Lee is wicked smart and I think Lipton was a bit intimidated.
I personally disagree having Comanche and Apache blood. They were savages not peaceful at all according to the Putnam family or Matilda kidnapped by them . The midkiff family the Houston's. The natives were not hairy hippies. They were savages and warriors
Tommy is a fine actor and well read ,he doesn't suffer fools gladly , maybe Lipton was nervous after cock ups in the intro , I bet his researchers got a bollocking.
TLJ is a phenomenal, versatile actor. The MIB trilogy is one of the best comedy film roles he's ever done and his role in The Fugitive encompasses his focus and passion for his characters. What a great life to be Al Gore's roommate, play football in one of the most famous college games in history, and then go on to make many great films. Fantastic!
That’s the first time I’ve seen Lipton throwing a dart and missing the board..when TLJ said that Cherokee and Comanche were very different he should have offered a humble apology..instead he said ‘but they’re both native Indians’..which was..I don’t know..a bad response all round..still we all fuck up from time to time..
Ya know, I'm pretty conservative and I don't offend very easily. And I'm not Native American, except for traces...I kinda got offended by James Lipton. His insistence vis a vis Comanche & Cherokee was ignorant. Having said that, I agree- we all have our off-days
You nailed it. Lipton is great through and through but everyone makes a mistake once in a blue moon. I'm shocked they didn't edit it out but maybe Lipton wanted to own up to it by including it instead of hiding it which would be great on his part.
My favorite scene in Lonesome Dove was when Tommy is with Robert, and Gus is dying. That whole scene made me cry. Every time I see that scene, I cry. Such a beautiful moment and wonderful movie! Tommy is such a special actor!
I can’t believe you skipped the part just as they were talking about the death scene with Gus in Lonesome Dove. The best western and my favorite Tommy Lee movie.
I agree. In my opinion, Lonesome Dove is the best thing ever to be shown on television. I still watch it once a year. People who have never seen it have no idea what they miss.
James Lipton needs to get his story straight about Tommy Lee Jones' heritage. I'm a Cherokee Indian and his Mother was Cherokee , for goodness' sake. I can see that he would get along well with James Garner, who acted with him in Space Cowboys. I like how authentic Tommy Lee is and how detailed he is in this interview
I'll echo the others - thanks for taking the initiative to present this episode and uploading a nice, clean version. And my request, if you have it: Whoopi Goldberg. Definitely in my Top 5 favorite guests - she does a monologue as a developmentally challenged person that is master class in acting. Her episode is nowhere to be found on UA-cam - as well as another, Streisand. Thanks again!!!
I think thatTommy Lee Jones enjoys being there around those students. He's there to describe his thoughts, his reasons for acting the way that he did and how he played the roles. He represents a good old boy-very likable.
One of the best actors of our time. He's very efficient. He performs or acts in the best possible way with the least waste of time and effort. Such a natural. Great actor!!!
The first candid visit I have ever experienced with the consummate actor from my lifetime, beside Robert Duval of course, and it was beyond any expectation I had imagined in my 60+ years. I first decided to study Mr. Jones after VHS came out and I rented Black Moon Rising. Not an epic character but done so flawlessly you were convinced this man was out there somewhere. I had been too busy trying to survive prior to have seen any of his previous work, but thankful to live in a time where access is unlimited. Lonesome Dove should be a national treasure.
Thank you to James Lipton who brought these famous people on his show. Inside the Actors Studio is completely unique and as I watch each guest I feel like Im getting to know them better than any interview show ever. Thank you JL. RIP.❤❤
This was good, thanks for a good interview, allowing Mr. Jones to take time to answer. I learned a lot more about him and learned to respect him for his craft.
@@AnalogBurger Thank you for this! I'm in search of the following, in case you happen to have any: gene wilder, holly hunter, sydney pollack, mary stuart masterson, tommy lee jones, julia roberts, martin short, philip seymour hoffman, ed harris, bruce willis, michael j. fox, james cameron, jake gyllenhaal, jeff daniels, kristen wiig
Wow, big thanks for this. It's a rare insightful interview with TLJ on his career and the only available version on net had such a terrible video/audio quality. I will look forward to more Actors Studio videos. I hope you have Willem Dafoe, Donald Sutherland or Susan Sarandon. Wanted to see those for a long time. P.S. I'd recommend to cut down scenes from movies when you upload Actors Studio videos, as they might remove the entire video because of copyrights-related stuff.
@@nncdrmr I think you misunderstand what I'm saying? I say the only available version of this interview on the internet prior to this had a terrible audio quality, so it was impossible to listen to the story of his fascinating life. So I thanked for this version because here the video/audio is great.
My husband shared a limo ride to Palo Alto from the airport. He was a big fan of Mr Jones. They never spoke a word to each other during the entire ride. I asked Why? He said, the actor didn’t seem to want to be bothered. After seeing this wonderful interview, what a shame. My husband was very well read, very into football, loved horses, no ego and a man of honor and principles. What a shame Tommy Lee Jones missed that opportunity to meet a very great guy!
I first saw Tommy Lee Jones in the soap opera he was in, and I fell in love with this intelligent, genius of a man, of an actor. I continue to watch everything I can with him in it, and appreciate and learn from his fabulous intuition and knowledge. He is a gift to the world of acting, to the WORLD!!!
Lipton was always super impressed with actors who went to Ivy League colleges. At 7:48 he says "How did. you go from St. Marks " (then dramatically faces the audience) . "watch this journey now, to Harvard."
They were talking about the most powerful scene in the movie (series "Lonesome Dove"..) and then all of a sudden jump to JFK???? So wanted to see that and moreover here Mr. Jones talk about that scene.
@@GregLohr Lol I know right? I thought it was funny when he said Al Gore was his roommate, like wow what a wildly different personality from some of the lunatic politicians that come out of those places.
ISOLATING DICKWEEDS 101. SEPERATING GOOD GUYS FROM BAD GUYS. COLE SAYING "THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A GOOD COP" WHEN HE WAS ASKED IF HE WAS PLAYING GOOD COP/BAD COP IN A SUPERVISED VISIT WAS NOT OKAY. A CHILD THAT AGE SHOULD NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF VIEW OF LAW ENFORCEMENT.
I've never seen Mr Lipton treat a guest the way he did Mr Jones. He embarrassed himself in the way he handled the issue of Mr Jones' Native American heritage. He was a breath away from rude. Why?
Most folks don't know the intricacies to be attributed to each indigenous nation. I don't believe rudness was his intent, he only exposed his ignorance.

When Tommy Lee made the comment that he believes is acting skills came not from the air but from the dirt everybody broke out and laughter. It was a serious comment accompanied by inappropriate laughter from the audience. Look of confusion on his face at the outburst made me feel sad he wasn't being taken seriously. After this, I guarantee you he'll never do another interview again
That football story makes sense that he expresses emotions the way he does. My entire confidence in radical noisy activism from the 70s came from a lot of success in track and field...narcassistic and egotistical bottom line which makes confidence and adventure so simple
An excellent documentary about that game, with interviews of former players on both teams (including Tommy Lee). Plenty of footage also. Enjoy. ua-cam.com/video/rtKj67kh9L4/v-deo.html
Tommy Lee Jones role in "The Fugitive" was great and deserving of praise, but Ralph Fiennes deserved the Oscar more for his chilling portrayal of Amon Goth in Schindler's List. One of the greatest performances of banal evil on film.
Nah, if Ralph Fiennes deserved to win he would have won. He did not win because Tommy Lee Jones really stood out in his role. He elevated the material he had to work with, were as Fiennes just did a great job with the material he was given.
Mr. Jones reveals his Indigenous American Heritage with his response to his Blood Quantum and Tribal Affiliation among the Comanche People. Hundreds of American Tribes, languages, Traditions, Culture, History and Religion were lost with European Arrival. Millions of Indigenous Lives lost for hundreds of years. Pre Arrival Indigenous American populations have varied estimated numbers ranging 8 - 21 million. The Native American population in the United States reached its lowest point in 1900, when it was about 237,000 people. In 2021, there were 9.7 million AI/AN people (alone or in combination), comprising 2.9% of the total U.S. population of 329.5 million. This is an increase of 86.5% from the last Census. Mr. Jones explains Comanche is absolutely untrue and in fact he is of Cherokee Heritage. Respect Mr. Jones !!!
There was NO made Mention ; of Tommy Lee Jones as a Supporting Actor in Love Story w' Ryan O'Neill and Ali McGraw , nor the Lead Role in Black Moon Rising. BOTH are Great films ; that I'm Certain , Many-people whom have Seen these movies would-Agree!😳/🤓
Love Black Moon Rising. Rewatch it frequently. Have a great fondness for Back Roads too, although I've heard that Sally Fields was not TLJ's favorite costar. The River Rat is almost unknown, but it's another tour de force for Tommy.
Yeah there was a bunch of really cool movies that were left out, even Rolling Thunder would have been worth talking about despite his role being somewhat smaller compared to most of his other movies.
Very disappointed that the cult film Rolling Thunder was not covered. Quentin Tarantino named his production company after it because of his love of the film. Mr Jones was brilliant in it.
Tarantino said Tommy Lee Jones role in The Eyes of Laura Mars contains one of his favorite "me so crazy" performances when he reveals he is the killer. On the Video Archives podcast.
Yeah I kept thinking "Oh I wonder if Lipton is going to bring up this movie or that movie" but then I was like wait this is from like 20 years ago lol.
Tommy Lee Jones is a phenomenal actor. He always performs his characters to perfection.
One of my favorites, still, is his early role as "Dr. Mark Toland" in "One Life To Live." Also remember his cameo as one of "Oliver Barrett IV's" poker playing buddies in "Love Story". Of his most recent, I've thoroughly enjoyed "Space Cowboys"! A very talented guy!

@@darkl3ad3r Tommy....a great guy, adored Lipton alot too!!!
He's an incredible actor. He changed my life forever with his multi-dimensional performance as Gary Gilmore.
Tommy is a real Cowboy & as a life long horseman i can tell you , his portrayal in Lonesome Dove, along with Mr Duval is regarded as one of if not the most accurate of any Cowboy movie or tv show ever made
All of his efforts are fantastic
Yes, that just reminds me of that film Blue Sky, with Jessica Lange.
You can tell his riding skill in LD was very experienced and natural.
Thank you so much for uploading this.
He is beyond iconic. Thank you for this post ❤👏
Lipton needed to learn how to be corrected with grace. Tommy Lee's comments to correct him were spot on.
Yes, I'm English and even I am aware of differences between the American Indian tribes. I thought his response to Mr Jones a little rude.
I agree. He was arrogant. Not a gracious host. I love Tommy Lee in ALL his films. Cool person too!
Yes, all he had to say was ‘oh really, can you tell me more, I wasn’t aware “. Instead he doubled down on ‘yes, both Native Americans’. As if all tribes are the same. Sheesh..it’s basic knowledge of the differences Mr. Jones was trying to say yet Lipton made it awkward by being dismissive.

@williammartin4368 You didn't read what I wrote. The Comanche were aggressive, the Cherokee were peace-loving. Look at my response above.
Amazing Episode.
An incredible, humble, thoughtful man. Great interview.
Really enjoyed this. Love Tommy Lee Jones. Thanks for sharing this special episode
Thank you for this fantastic feature on Tommy Lee Jones ❤❤❤❤❤!
TLJ is a phenomenal, versatile actor. The MIB trilogy is one of the best comedy film roles he's ever done and his role in The Fugitive encompasses his focus and passion for his characters. What a great life to be Al Gore's roommate, play football in one of the most famous college games in history, and then go on to make many great films. Fantastic!
Cherokees & Comanches had as much in common as Frenchmen & Chinese 🤣
From "Fugitive" to 2024 "Finestkind", Tommy Lee Jones is the Man, still.
That’s the first time I’ve seen Lipton throwing a dart and missing the board..when TLJ said that Cherokee and Comanche were very different he should have offered a humble apology..instead he said ‘but they’re both native Indians’..which was..I don’t know..a bad response all round..still we all fuck up from time to time..
And Lipton kept insisting on his point! But you're right; overall, his interviews were more good than bad.
Ya know, I'm pretty conservative and I don't offend very easily. And I'm not Native American, except for traces...I kinda got offended by James Lipton. His insistence vis a vis Comanche & Cherokee was ignorant.
Having said that, I agree- we all have our off-days
TLJ is very much his own man. You really can not manipulate him. Completely honest.
TLJ is such a deep historian and arguably one of the most well read actors of all time for sure
You nailed it. Lipton is great through and through but everyone makes a mistake once in a blue moon. I'm shocked they didn't edit it out but maybe Lipton wanted to own up to it by including it instead of hiding it which would be great on his part.
TOMMY LEE, IS SUCH A AWSOME ACTOR. ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES.
The Fugitive!! Never get bored watching it.
Tommy Lee Jones is the most fascinating guest!!
I bet you say that about all the girls
My favorite scene in Lonesome Dove was when Tommy is with Robert, and Gus is dying. That whole scene made me cry. Every time I see that scene, I cry. Such a beautiful moment and wonderful movie! Tommy is such a special actor!
Lonesome Dove is my favorite book. His portrayal of Call was fantastic. ❤
I can’t believe you skipped the part just as they were talking about the death scene with Gus in Lonesome Dove. The best western and my favorite Tommy Lee movie.
I agree. In my opinion, Lonesome Dove is the best thing ever to be shown on television. I still watch it once a year. People who have never seen it have no idea what they miss.
Remember getting the whole DVD set, treasured it and still do.
Tommy Lee...enjoyed each and every moment...thank you for each.
Because he’s gay like most Texans

I've seen a whole lot of different actors on this show and I think this is definitely one of the better and more interesting interviews of the bunch.
Great actor!
Lipton passed away in 2020. He knew his purpose. Tommy is unique and rather a tough individual to open up.
You can easily tell Tommy Lee Jones is NOT comfortable being interviewed.
Agree, but his ethos of being there to serve left a worthy investment for the attendee.
But he handles it well, especially with that rough start... ❤
An Amazing Man who has given the World So Much!
Gave the world so much what now?
You are without a doubt my favorite actor.❤️
Thank you

I continue to watch everything I can with him in it, and appreciate and learn from his fabulous intuition and knowledge. He is a gift to the world of acting, to the WORLD!!!
Lipton was always super impressed with actors who went to Ivy League colleges. At 7:48 he says "How did. you go from St. Marks " (then dramatically faces the audience) . "watch this journey now, to Harvard."
St Marks is a big time prep school. Of course he’d go Ivy.
Multi-talented individual.
The Dean misses the point about Comanche and Cherokee. tsk tsk tsk
and I still love this show. I watched every Sunday night.
Wish it was a recent segment that included 'No Country For Old Men'...
He did a lot of really good movies into the 2010's as well, ever see The Homesman?
They were talking about the most powerful scene in the movie (series "Lonesome Dove"..) and then all of a sudden jump to JFK???? So wanted to see that and moreover here Mr. Jones talk about that scene.
I didn't hear any mention about space cowboys! That's a top 5 yet no mention 1nof my favorites!
Give Tommy credit for dismissing Lipton's Native American fiasco with panache.
Tommy is in my all time top 5 actors. If he's in a movie I'll watch it without knowing anything else about it.
I fell for Tommy Lee Jones when I saw "The Eyes of Laura Mars." It was deemed a "flop," but I loved it.
Thank you. Big fan of the show. You’re the best.
The only thing bad about this interview is Lipton.
Good thing these episodes are on youtube i miss watching this show and Mr. Lipton
I adore Tommy Lee Jones!
So your gay
Get in line, @natashawall8131
THANKS I really enjoyed it
Loved that he said "cute"
As a woman, I feel the same.
Kudos!
Did not mention his stint on "One Life to Live", where I first fell madly in love with him!
Listen again @ 14:30
A very introspective personality.
Genuine guy and unique actor. Interesting that he grew up in Bush country, and roomed with Al Gore at Harvard.
As sure as Heston will always be Moses, Gere will be David...
Jones will be Call.
He is very smart; he was a graduate from an ivy league
So was George W. Bush
@@GregLohr Lol I know right? I thought it was funny when he said Al Gore was his roommate, like wow what a wildly different personality from some of the lunatic politicians that come out of those places.
"Cheezezoid" Tommy definitely was an English major! LOL
ISOLATING DICKWEEDS 101. SEPERATING GOOD GUYS FROM BAD GUYS. COLE SAYING "THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A GOOD COP" WHEN HE WAS ASKED IF HE WAS PLAYING GOOD COP/BAD COP IN A SUPERVISED VISIT WAS NOT OKAY. A CHILD THAT AGE SHOULD NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF VIEW OF LAW ENFORCEMENT.
What an intelligent and thoughtful man!
One of my favorites
What year was this filmed?
1996
Really wish there was an updated episode to cover some of his latest films to catch up. Him and Samuel Jackson in Sunset Blvd. was perfect.
Lipton is dead
THANK YOU
Great Actor!!! Love him!!!!
One of the Best!👏👏👏
I've never seen Mr Lipton treat a guest the way he did Mr Jones. He embarrassed himself in the way he handled the issue of Mr Jones' Native American heritage. He was a breath away from rude. Why?
Most folks don't know the intricacies to be attributed to each indigenous nation. I don't believe rudness was his intent, he only exposed his ignorance.
He misunderstood that native American tribes should be distinguished by the actual correct tribe link. One is not the other.
This is absolutely fantastic!

I understood what me meant. Completely. People who grow up poor in rural areas live very closely with the soil.
A country boy on a city chair.

That football story makes sense that he expresses emotions the way he does. My entire confidence in radical noisy activism from the 70s came from a lot of success in track and field...narcassistic and egotistical bottom line which makes confidence and adventure so simple
That must have been some game : Harvard and Yale
An excellent documentary about that game, with interviews of former players on both teams (including Tommy Lee). Plenty of footage also. Enjoy.
ua-cam.com/video/rtKj67kh9L4/v-deo.html
It seems to me that Harvard and Yale do football just so they can play each other. They refer to it as "The Game" each year.
Tommy Lee Jones role in "The Fugitive" was great and deserving of praise, but Ralph Fiennes deserved the Oscar more for his chilling portrayal of Amon Goth in Schindler's List. One of the greatest performances of banal evil on film.
Ralph is another great actor. They both can be exceptionally good.
Nah, if Ralph Fiennes deserved to win he would have won. He did not win because Tommy Lee Jones really stood out in his role. He elevated the material he had to work with, were as Fiennes just did a great job with the material he was given.
James Lipton screwed up by being dismissive about the difference between Cherokee and Comanche. He should have accepted the correction and moved on.
❤this man!
He is the definition of manliness!

Heaven and Earth is an unforgettable movie. His performance was stunning.
Appreciate the video 🎭🎬
