    Sam is probably one of the top five greatest character actors of our time. I love everything he does. He is an example of acting mastery. I love this interview and that I can hear greater insight into who he is and his work.

    The most underrated actor working today. I can't fathom why Sam Rockwell is not an A+ list actor. Never been less than great in any of his movies.

    Can´t believe this guy is 46 years old. He looks 30. Great actor, should be doing more movies. I love KPCS, the interviews are great, but I think they could use some post production work, like photo inserts of the people, films and plays the guests are talking about, for example.

    Many people have asked on forums, and here and there, why SR hasn't gotten an Oscar nomination yet. Given his skills to those who have watched him carefully (Snow Angels, Jesse James, Lawn Dogs, that scene with Angelica Huston in Choke...more) people are wondering not IF but WHEN that will happen and what role might attain it. I maintain that that awards stuff just isn't very important to him. He's getting his chicken wings, got loads of money in the bank, happy in his personal life, and fulfilled artistically. And that's all he's after, really. He also seems he doesn't like too much publicity and being much more than he is now would bring some problems.
