its because of the show. Shows like this, new criminal and story in every episode don't sell that well among the public. People prefer a continuous story.
@@winnex317 i agree, this is not the CSI show i tought i started to watch years ago. And he carrys this show, nothing against the rest, but he is well above
"When the show started, he was a character you absolutely hated..." Umm, no. Actually, I adored him almost right off the bat. Maybe that says something about me. Don't know. I can't be the only one though, right?
Gaelin Wade I don't know. I kind of feel like he had no choice. He'd never be able to trust her again and she was right when she said she knew too much. It does seem odd that he didn't make a fatal shot. Very not like him... or did he mean to?
"He's a myth." "That's what they said about Deepthroat & the G-Spot." Raymond Reddington is goals as what a man strives to be. Confident, well-dressed, articulate & intelligent and very much a badass who can say things like that without being a creep lol
I love James Spader! He is such an amazingly entertaining actor whether being comedic or dramatic. This year's Cape May episode was fabulously acted by Spader. Just a stunning performance!
He is unbelievably amazing!! His reactions are immaculate! I rewatch his scenes to just watch his face and reactions!! Incredible! Never seen anyone acts the way he does ! Don’t think anyone could make a beeter Reddington ever
James Spader should win an award for his role as Red. Amazing . Love his Character . Very sexy man . Fantastic Actor. The great thing about his character,it has so much depth. You can't hate Red he does all the wrong things for all the right reasons. He never kills the innocent ,just does what everyone wants to but don't have the nerve to do so.
This is the best line, “There is no line between James Spader and Red Reddington, they’ve completely merged...” She is correct this is a MasterClass in acting!
One of the very few shows on TV that makes me hate to see it end each week. The writing, production and actors are all above par. Red Reddington could only be played by James Spader. It's like it was written especially for him. He absolutely owns the part.
I've been asked since I've been in elementary school, who my "favorite actor" is. I've never had a true answer for this, until I saw James Spader in "The Blacklist." I find him to epitomize the late 70's, early 80's era. His sexy, daring, eccentric, handsome, quippy demeanor hasn't failed, if anything, they've improved over the years. Bravo, Mr. Spader!
I think back to a time when Spader was a teen heart throb and the stared in Stargate and the Secretary and all the amazing work in between. The guy deserves a lifetime achievement award, an Oscar, and any other accolade that Hollywood can offer.
I love this show. I always look forward to watching it every week. Especially to see what James is going to do next. Such a fantastic actor. I can never picture anyone else to play this role, James always nails it.
James nails Raymond Red Reddington. He makes it so believable you could think he is infact this character as a real life person. He should be recognised for this role. I will be a bit bummed out when the series stops as he makes this show very entertaining viewing.
You took the words right out of my mouth. I never want this series to end, but I hope it’s not holdingJames Spader back, as sometimes I feel like the story doesn’t have anywhere else to go.
@@fritzcat6198 yeah a few shows have gone that way, like the walking dead. It's always the same thing ya know. They start repeating the same thing over and over. I hope to see James Spader in more stuff though. He's a phenomenal actor
Thanks to James Spader, Raymond Reddington is my favorite character on the Blacklist. I hope that James wins an Emmy for his superb performance in this series!
In no way have I ever hated the character "Red Reddington," NEVER. The promise of the Phoenix, attracted me to the show. The premise of the plot was the promise that drew me to Blacklist.... Not, hate! Reddington, drew me to Blacklist and has held me for all this time. James Spader is brilliant.
His bodies of work throughout his life are absolutely intriguing...he’s is my favorite actor, so oddly unique...The mold was broken after Spader was born, and I wish to enjoy his work, for as many great years as possible.
After have watched his performance in boston legal and blacklist, I couldnt watch another actors' performances without criticizing, even most famous ones', he is the master of his work..He acts naturally, his body language, his manners, his voice how compatible they are.. Perfect..
Maybe they were referring to the other characters hating him in the show? But I doubt it. I liked him from the beginning but maybe not everyone did. You can dislike a character because he's evil but still enjoy watching them, if that makes sense.
+BetterTelevision even Liz herself regretted it later loool. +idneilkell some people might have hated him for his smugness at the start and his attitude towards certain people like Ressler. Others, like me, loved his character from the beginning and to be honest you realise it's just who he is, the smugness and "always one step ahead" attitude is something he's always had, which is why everytime Liz or someone else warned him about dangerous situations/traps etc he never listened and was genuinely shocked (like the warehouse bomb scene with Kirk). Gosh, I'm talking about a fictional character like he's a real person, but truth be told I completely adore him, that's all. His demeanour as Ultron was perfect aswell, made so much of a better villain than Thanos in my opinion. James Spader is a legend, period!
always loved spader's performances. Mannequin, Stargate, Two days in the Valley, blacklist, those are just MY favorites... but the man deserves WAAAAY more aways than he has recieved
He is my favorite actor! Spader can really act! He is so damn good. An acting genius! His range is amazing, and his persona is so unique! He is in a special class of top notch actors! A true gem! Peace.
I agree with what she was saying .... his unique character deserves an award for what he's doing in this series.....and yes i can't imagine anyone that can do Raymond Reddington better than him.
Spader plays the role high brow eloquently cold dead pan in the deadly way. Fantastically alluring danger and cold blood. As Christopher Walken also has his dead pan deadly way.
As soon as I saw Raymond "Red" Reddington the first time I saw the show, I immediately fell in love with him, I absolutely adored him, as soon as I saw him and hear him speak, his character, his body language, and the way he moves, he just makes me laugh, what a lovely man, and I am looking forward so much to Season7. I will continue to watch "The Blacklist" over and over again, I just love it. Carry on the good work Raymond!!! xxx
Just look on UA-cam for some of his interviews, by talk show hosts. He tells stories like no other. Even if it would normally be a "boring" story, if told by someone else, he makes it riveting. I've liked him since he was in movies in the 80's.
I absolutely LOVE James Spader aka Raymond Reddington! The show wouldn't be great like it is without him. I did not see the first 3 seasons, but maybe I'll go back and watch them. Please continue to keep this show going. Love his lines and his thoughts, Brilliant!
I love James Spader. He is an actor whos talents are above most others and he elevates everything he's involved in. His range is so incredible, that while Boston Legal and The Blacklist would have been wonderful because of the writing alone, with him acting in them they became phenomenal masterpieces. I hope he lives a long and happy life and continues to give us many more treasures well into the future! And since I mentioned Boston Legal I've also got to give huge props to the magnificent talent of William Shatner. While I loved him as Captain James T. Kirk in the original Star Trek series, it was Boston Legal that finally allowed his enormously brilliant talent to shine, and shine it did!
The Blacklist is by far one of the best TV series I have seen. James Spader is AMAZING !!!!!! absolutely love his character. The series wouldn't be the same without him !!
This is a show that my wife and I have come to appreciate more and more every season. While nothing last forever, we'd love to see this show make through a decade; that's provided that the exec's don't bring in the GOT guys from the last few seasons... Seriously, an entertaining show with a great cast. James Spader is Red!
The problem with having someone as talented as Spader on the show is it highlighs the inadequacies of the other cast members. Yes I'm looking at you Megan Boone.
"In the beginning he was hated" uhm, nope! I loved that guy since he first showed up in the series! He's one of the best actors I've seen, or should I say one of the best characters I've seen anyways.
Agreed! James Spader is one of those rare talents who demands your full attention when he speaks. His timing definitely is impeccable. Acting alongside him, and with him, surely must be a boon to anyone's talent. After each dialogue with Reddington you just stare agape in wonder and think, "That's how it's supposed to be done."
James spader!❤🏆 he is that show. There wouldn't be a black list without him. He's hands down in my top5 favorite actors of all time. I say that ..lol..but he instantly makes me momentarily forget all other actors🤦😂 He's THAT GOOD. And he oozes sex appeal...STILL. I love him love him love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤💃🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
He absolutely deserves an Emmy for his incredible acting abilities and the way he brings Red Reddington to life is PHENOMENAL!! Plus.. like Prince croned "You Sexy MotherF*cker!!" ❤
He carries the show
It showed when the spin off flopped.
i only watch the show because of him . best actor ever
@@daijudo what spin off
Ragnar Lodbrok LMFAOOO FR WHAT SPIN OFF??
@@ViralXQ im at season 5 of The Blacklist i didn't know there are spin offs, lol
this man could read the phone book and I'd sit and listen for hours!
Me too...
The man has an eidetic memory. He could flip through a phone book, throw it into the fire, and then read it to you.
As same as hearing best philosophy classes.. Good for you.
Dana H awesome response and true!! Lol
Dana H : I second that🤓
he should win at least one award for playing this character, I don't understand why he hasn't yet, he deserves it more than anyone else
its because of the show. Shows like this, new criminal and story in every episode don't sell that well among the public. People prefer a continuous story.
@@sanketpatel1870 But it's both, the plot literally thickens every episode, very few TV-shows has that going for them as well as this one.
@@winnex317 i agree, this is not the CSI show i tought i started to watch years ago. And he carrys this show, nothing against the rest, but he is well above
that wouldn't fit the liberal agenda, he is a white male so no trophies for him...
@@sanketpatel1870 Source for that statement?
He is definitely one of the best actors we have seen on television. He plays Red perfectly.
He can ring my bell anytime.....
He didn‘t play red he was red
"When the show started, he was a character you absolutely hated..."
Umm, no. Actually, I adored him almost right off the bat. Maybe that says something about me. Don't know.
I can't be the only one though, right?
I am the same way, I liked Red from the start. Of course, I have been to many places that have metal bars!
John White You're not the only one.
Right, I loved Red from the beginning. Now, the Red of season 4 I'm starting to dislike. Especially after the Mr. Kaplan thing.
Gaelin Wade I don't know. I kind of feel like he had no choice. He'd never be able to trust her again and she was right when she said she knew too much. It does seem odd that he didn't make a fatal shot. Very not like him... or did he mean to?
Cyann Pascall Sporry saying that he also shot garrick in the head and he came back he's not amazing at killing associates
James Spader absolutely deserves the Emmy this year!! What a pleasure to watch him.
"He's a myth."
"That's what they said about Deepthroat & the G-Spot."
Raymond Reddington is goals as what a man strives to be.
Confident, well-dressed, articulate & intelligent and very much a badass who can say things like that without being a creep lol
I know right! I dont know how haha... Its just his natural state i guess, its not something one can learn or unlearn.
Watch Boston Legal. Alan Shore is the goal.
@@user-qg8fi8zj2n 100%
"god that door is slow, i was hoping for a somewhat more dramatic entrance" scene at 1:02 kills me more than it probably should! Great actor!
2:59 "When the show started he was a character you absolutely hated!"
...speak for yourself.
James Spader deserves an Oscar.he is a very good actor.

She drives me insane....
Harry Lennix is the only actor on that show in Spader's league.
An AWESOME series that doesn't suffer a foolish audience.
They originally wanted to cast Keifer Sutherland as Red. No way it would have worked as perfectly as James Spader.
WhySpader hasn´t received the Emmy for The Blacklist yet, I can´t comprehend
totally love James Spader from the moment I saw him decades ago - gorgeous man
"In the beginning he was hated" uhm, nope! I loved that guy since he first showed up in the series! He's one of the best actors I've seen, or should I say one of the best characters I've seen anyways.
Fantastic actor and i think he has the same swagger in real life.
i remember first time i saw the pilot, my mind jumped to anthony hopkins in silence of the lambs

I love Red since the first episode.
He's been the best actor on TV for well over a decade.
Sorry Dawn, you are mistaken... I loved Raymond Reddington at first sight and never stopped 😍💓
James Spader is the best and amazing actor to play Reddington. No other actor would have portrayed him as good as James Spader
He definitely needs to be nominated and win for his portrayal of Reddington. He is perfect.
Outstanding
Love this show and red makes it
He has that special it factor. Just like James Gandolfini for example.
James Spader really deserves an Emmy award
