He's always "kind of" acting, it's mostly him, and here's a surefire way you can tell. Watch him in the secretary, and then watch him on the blacklist, where you see his demeanor overlap is him, the rest is acting.
Some of them are! He *did* work for a carnival (the bit about the carny , and carny-speak), he *did* work for a man all summer once pulling up carpet , etc (the story Red tells ending in "Value loyalty above all else.") , and he also helped to write the "One More Time " monologue when he's in the "box" with Ressler. (I believe the one more night of jazz at the Vanguard , the "I want a bottle of wine, and then another" parts were his. )
“A lot of it is Googling places that would be hard for Spader to say,” Bokenkamp said. “And trying to find foods that would be weird to watch him describe and delight in. Oftentimes we just start with a sentence like, ‘I was once off the coast of such and such.’ and spitball from there.” www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/the-blacklist-the-interesting-way-producers-come-up-with-the-shows-stories.html/ 😃
@@ronburgundy244 Exactly, and also the dude have so much knowledge. So why not ask him about that, something less simple. Jimmy's question might as well have been "ehm, do you like nachos?", or some other pointless "yes or no" question.
True, but in his real him he's more charismatic. Redington has a more serious and rational way of looking and behavior. And James says "you know" all the time. Redington doesn't
I just love his voice. This man has a rare talent in our days. When he speaks he means every word he says and you simple can not take your attention out from him. Amazing actor and he deserves every award as Red Reddington .
definitely a great storyteller, i wonder if its possible to learn to speak as entertainingly as he does o.o i have the feeling that if he would sit and narrate to me a day in my life, as boring and repetitive as it is, he would still be able to make it sound way more interesting than it is and also make me 100% hooked to know what's next as if i didn't just live trough the exact day he's telling me
This interview just proves Raymond Reddington was based on James Spader. Their intellect and demeanor are identical. You know he left the interview with dembe in the Mercedes and immediately got a call from Elizabeth or Aram about something that needed his attention. 😂😂😂 can’t wait for the new season.
Whenever he starts speaking I can't resist but love him . He has this unique way of talking which makes whatever he is saying really interesting and engaging. ❤️❤️ His stories are always great.
I remember working The Practice with James... he thought I was a PA, asked me for lunch & yes it was around 1-2pm, his Prime Time, and I was an Actor on the show. But I got his lunch anyway, because he's so amazing and he asked me to. I didn't say anything till we got to set, he saw me not as a PA and felt embarrassed by it all. I said don't sweat it, you had to eat, it was my pleasure! Amazing Human Being!
@@lspr215 Robert California: "Jim, would you prefer a nature metaphor or a sexual metaphor"? Jim: "Oh God nature please". Robert California: "When two animals are having sex...." Jim: OOOOOF.
About 2 years ago James was on the show and he told this awesome story about getting high with JFK jr while Jackie O cooked dinner. It was one of the greatest stories ever.
Loved him since the office and recently fell in love with blacklist. James spader is one of the most immersive actors I have ever seen on screen and i can't wait for season 7 of the blacklist.
"I could tell you how to win a marathon, but you're assuming that it's a 26.2 mile race. It's not. It's a 6.2 mile race that begins at mile 20." Red Reddington, *The Blacklist*.
I just starting watching the blacklist and I am thankful that it is on Netflix!!! What a great show! James Spader has been one of my favorite actors since the 80's!
He's somehow simultaneously "in the present moment" , but also "a very old soul". He just oozes intelligence, and that is the sexiest thing on the planet , I think.
You are absolutely right Jade! Intelligence is the only thing that could attract me to someone...There is NO way I can endure a dumb person...No way...I will say it to his/her face!
I am a night person too! I love the darkness, the quiet, the solitude when everyone are at sleep, to go outside and take a deep breath, looking at the moon and the stars....
If you appreciate that voice, the sophistication, the attitude and just the overall impression that can only be called "smooth", Spader just gets sexier and sexier over time. (I'm a hetero dude and totally comfortable saying this.)
You can tell Jimmy is very into having a genuine conversation with James, not just for the sake of the show but from a really personal point of view, love it.
Blacklist Is Really A Great Show And James Is Fantastic👌I Agree New York For Me Is The Best City,❤THE Most Culturally Diverse And Exciting City In The World🌟I Looove New York😍
I just realized that the special thing about him isn't that he is an amazing actor. The special thing about him is that he is an amazing person who happens to be acting Also, the man needs his own tv show
I love what he said about NYC because it’s so true. Everyone, no matter who you are, is there for the same reason - NYC. It just makes everything flow together in one stream. It’s so beautiful. By far my most favourite city. How lucky for him to actually live there and have the life he does. Incredible.
Watching him act , delivering his dialogues is a treat to the eyes & ears ..... He s definitely a dictionary of how to speak the language & can b a source to students of the English language world over to learn how to speak the language..... & to speak of his acting skills... I wouldn’t hesitate to say he is THE BEST ACTOR across films of all languages .. is an understatement. I’ve watched thousands of films in a dozen languages... & I vouch fr it . Why wasn’t he seen much in all these years ! Y isn’t he in popular movies is a puzzle to say the least ..... Ive hardly noticed him in movies till I’m seeing The Black List currently.... Most underrated & unexposed... Time to see him big time on big screens
One of my favourite writers, Jorge Luis Borges, wrote, as far as I know, not one but two lists of thankfulness. "Poema de los dones" He names things and facts where he wants to express gratitude... If I was this days to make such a list, I would definitely say: thanks for James Spader!
It's comforting to know that James Spader and I have the same circadian schedule and general attitude toward life and all its nuances. Take the television thing as an example. I haven't had cable television for almost a decade and when that fact comes up in conversation I'm greeted with the same expression from people as when I tell them I don't have Facebook: a sort of shocked surprise.
It's crazy that he sits between Loki and Thanos in the Avengers movies. Those two antagonists over-shine Ultron and they both are shown in multiple movies. But he was amazing! Big fan of his.
Absolutely completely feel that every time I am there, just awe stuck by the history and peoples history. The little shops and all the cultures, its like an outer body/dimensional feeling! I♥️NYC!
I love the boat story. Im glad i was able to save james from that one accident (long story). I was there! on that 8 boat and i love that place too, so grat, no biggy james, loved your movie avatar, so great, cant w8 for the second one
i m fan of him even if my english is not that good...but no need Word...his body...his face ...his général attitude ...even his silences ...speaks ! a fan from France
We don't have broadcasting tv, but with the-stay-at-home order, my husband got Netflix and we are on season 5, he adores 'Red'... Keep Strong New York ♥️
Fantástico actor me gusta como actor Es genial Un saludo desde España Requena (Valencia) Perdonar mi atrevimiento no se muy inglés Podrían poner subtítulos en español Muchas gracias!!!! Un saludo
One of the most underrated actors of our generation.
How? He's always the same in every role lol
@@ericross441 Yet he's brilliant
I never thought about it.
He is rated very HIGH by me and infinite amounts of other people :) One of the BEST :)
Think about it, why care?
Whenever I see Spader I wonder where Dembe is 😂
😂😂
Backstage
😂😂😂
"Value loyalty above all else."
Bi
I love to see Reymond playing James Spader
M12_Nexu why does jimmy keep calling him James..
@@peta8450 all part of the plan.
Just another one of his alias
M12_Nexu I could listen to him talk all day, he talks about nothing but I would still be like tell me all of the things.
😂
The guy is either always acting OR he is never acting. I’m confused.
Ikr? Its like watching RR everytime!
Well you know...
He's always "kind of" acting, it's mostly him, and here's a surefire way you can tell. Watch him in the secretary, and then watch him on the blacklist, where you see his demeanor overlap is him, the rest is acting.
his head movement remains constant
He's that good
I could listen to James Spader talk for hours
I only hear Raymond Reddington talking, LOL!
Shreya Jahagirdar so could I. Another person is Joe Pera. Puts me right to sleep.
Same lol
same
Gabriel Gonzales same
I think the stories he tells on the blacklist are his own
Wouldn't suprise me well the less murdery stories anyway lol
I love his soliloquies that just go on and on while the "criminal" (Blacklister or whatever) just sits there in earnest silence while he rattles on 😄.
Some of them are! He *did* work for a carnival (the bit about the carny , and carny-speak), he *did* work for a man all summer once pulling up carpet , etc (the story Red tells ending in "Value loyalty above all else.") , and he also helped to write the "One More Time " monologue when he's in the "box" with Ressler. (I believe the one more night of jazz at the Vanguard , the "I want a bottle of wine, and then another" parts were his. )
I wouldn't doubt it

James Spader is just brilliant. His acting, his story telling, his personality. Just fantastic.
"returning from a trip overseas" We all know that means meeting with an arms dealer in Senegal, Reddington
Haha
Lol🤣🤣🤣
L😂L
that is hilarious, I´m dying!
Am I the only one who can spend hours watching James Spader talk?! I love the sound of his voice!
Im watching the black list just becouse of him and his stories
Me too💓only watching Raymond Raddington
I love is voice and how is speak ..i respect him so much
Love his acting in Blacklist.
Fucking yesssss. Omfg
Fred Herrman the greatest
Love his acting, full-stop.
@@Smellohwell yes yes yes The Blacklist is awesome!
Absolutely an amazing character, just an extension of Spader!
This man has class, is intelligent and really experienced, and you ask him if he likes TV?
Oh yea
@@xMckingwill Just a very lazy question and well, of all the things he could ask him, you know? 😅
He's mostly known for his TV work nowadays.
@@ronburgundy244 Exactly, and also the dude have so much knowledge. So why not ask him about that, something less simple. Jimmy's question might as well have been "ehm, do you like nachos?", or some other pointless "yes or no" question.

True, but in his real him he's more charismatic. Redington has a more serious and rational way of looking and behavior. And James says "you know" all the time. Redington doesn't
you know
True
I just love his voice. This man has a rare talent in our days. When he speaks he means every word he says and you simple can not take your attention out from him. Amazing actor and he deserves every award as Red Reddington .
He is such a wise man. Every story he tells is so fascinating to me.
James is a born story teller. Love his stories.
Hes f***awesome,,,,

Watching this while listening to blacklist in the background🙏🏼🤣😂 its so weird, thats why he didnt answer the phone to liz in the last scene.
The craziest thing was Kiefer Sutherland was the first choice of the producers for Raymond Reddington
James Spader seems like one of the most genuine people you'd ever want to meet. I hope to meet him one day.
Whenever he starts speaking I can't resist but love him . He has this unique way of talking which makes whatever he is saying really interesting and engaging. ❤️❤️ His stories are always great.
I absolutely adore James Spader. Such an incredibly talented man, I've loved him for as long as I can remember.

aww, you are such a kind person :)
@@Eneirafyrion Thanx Eneira
I’d do the same! 😂 If Spader asked me to jump or get naked I’d do as asked.
Safe to say James Spader wasn't really acting when he was playing Robert California.
Was just about to make that comment when I go to type, here it is.. top of the list.
He’s the fucking lizard king... the Most wanted man in the world, and the most interesting!
@@lspr215 Robert California: "Jim, would you prefer a nature metaphor or a sexual metaphor"?
Jim: "Oh God nature please".
Robert California: "When two animals are having sex...."
Jim: OOOOOF.
You have gotta watch blacklist. He plays the exact same kind of character. So good
@@dallasgoodson1764 I'll check it out. Thanks!
About 2 years ago James was on the show and he told this awesome story about getting high with JFK jr while Jackie O cooked dinner. It was one of the greatest stories ever.
John Wisniewski it was so funny
Wasn't that the story when he vomited on the dinner table because of bad pistachios?
I can't see the difference, in a good way, between Red and Spader, his character is what keeps me watching the series, He is the series!
My favourite actor easily! His method of speaking is just so stellar. It's hypnotic so to speak
Loved him since the office and recently fell in love with blacklist. James spader is one of the most immersive actors I have ever seen on screen and i can't wait for season 7 of the blacklist.
I can't wait for the next season he's one of the best actors of all time
I could listen to James Spader talk all day. That voice and the way he tells a story, love it. Love him.
So basically it's Raymond playing James Spader as a plot to catch another blacklister
Love James Spader since the 80's.
I'm not a New Yorker, but his explanation gave me goosebumps , cuz I LOVE the city so I kinda feel like I understand him
Fallon: “....watching the tonight show?”
Spader: “NO”😒
I thought he was kidding until he said "I don't get broadcast TV at my house."
" Thanks for the pressure "
We all love James Spader
We all love hearing him
😭😭😭😭
I love his voice!
I would love to have him record an audio book just to hear his voice.
DreamofDolphins I can still hear ultron himself
"I could tell you how to win a marathon, but you're assuming that it's a 26.2 mile race. It's not. It's a 6.2 mile race that begins at mile 20."

Jimmy saying that Spader is one of his favorite guests. Probably was the first thing i believed he said.
whenever i see jame i just straight away think redington love his acting
I'm just so in love with James spader..can't get enough of him..
Thank You for sharing..
I am a night person too! I love the darkness, the quiet, the solitude when everyone are at sleep, to go outside and take a deep breath, looking at the moon and the stars....
If you appreciate that voice, the sophistication, the attitude and just the overall impression that can only be called "smooth", Spader just gets sexier and sexier over time.

Hats off to you!
James Spader still so attractive! Such a great actor!
So Gorgeous and sexy then & till now! He's like a fine wine! I just love him so much!!!
Fucking yummy
He's really sexy, in all ways! Love it!
James Spader is just THE BEST period. I love everything about James Spader
Spader’s character in Boston Legal has a client with a son named..... Dembe. Loved this connection to Blacklist.
You can tell Jimmy is very into having a genuine conversation with James, not just for the sake of the show but from a really personal point of view, love it.

He’s pretty much just all kinds of awesome.
I’m also built for night. A kindred spirit, he is.
James is incredible, super actor. My favorite actor!!! He is amazing
His voice is so calming.
I just realized that the special thing about him isn't that he is an amazing actor.
The special thing about him is that he is an amazing person who happens to be acting

What I like about James is that he never changes. I feel like he's the same like he's the same acting.
Im just... he’s just like in the series. I love it. Such a attractive man, just by being him.
I'm pretty sure James spader at this point when he plays red is on autopilot
Love James Spader❤And I'm watching Blacklist right now....Third time I've watched it...lol
I said it before and I'll say it again; Spader should have been Frank Underwood on House of Cards.
That would've been great.
There's one problem - he's too likeable
@@TheAlps36 Spacey was likeable as well.
They are both great actors, so they could be real bastards
If they have to be.
I think James Spader should play Lex Luther. Even The Riddler.
Andrew Barusek as James Spader said to Fallon: NOP xd
He literally acts the exact same in and out of the blacklist. It’s amazing. Absolute legend.
James Spader my love. Favorite person in the planet 😍💕
One of my favourite writers, Jorge Luis Borges, wrote, as far as I know, not one but two lists of thankfulness. "Poema de los dones" He names things and facts where he wants to express gratitude... If I was this days to make such a list, I would definitely say: thanks for James Spader!
He’s not a morning or day person at all, his day starts at 9pm hahaha...I love him even more 🥰🥰
I’ve always loved him. Not only his acting, but his storytelling, his intelligence, wow! Amazing man
The "I can drink a lot" just screeeams raymond LOL💀✋🏼
I could listen to him talk for hours. Fell in love with his movie performances from his younger days. Man he still got it. Nice guy.
I really do love this man! He is a great actor and a great person at the same time

.... even Rip (from Less Than Zero).... ? 8-/
Oh god i want to be his friend ❤️😭🥰 he is so genuine and seems so kind and wise 😭😭😭
The one and only underrated actor who should definitely take the role as the boss/regional manager once The Office is back rebooted in 2021
O may Word. James Spader stole my heart❤ South Africa 🇿🇦 You are an amazing person ❤️
I really wish we got to see Ultron again in a time travel sequence in Endgame
He was the perfect voice for him. Such a shame they made him a push over villian. I'd like to see more of him.
It's crazy that he sits between Loki and Thanos in the Avengers movies. Those two antagonists over-shine Ultron and they both are shown in multiple movies. But he was amazing! Big fan of his.

Can't wait till season 7 is over to watch it on Netflix next year
We love you James!
About a decade ago James Spader suddenly became John Lithgow.
octagonproplex Yes!
@Beth Dudley
If I had to pick only one on the two who knew their way around foreign flesh phalluses - It'd be Spader.
His smile is contagious
I’ve only been to NY once for 1 week and I still can’t get over how amazing it is! 🥰😍🌇🌃🗽🥳
Isn't it nice when an actor has respect for himself, his host and his guests dressing with class.
God damn he's such a good actor.
Mr. Spader at Stargate
Amazing 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
What a great actor
Meal at 2:30, nap right after and dinner at 9pm. That sounds like a dream 😊😌
I can't look at Spader without hearing "Yes, I did see someone's things here. I moved them to a less desirable location.".
Poor Brad Chase...
We don't have broadcasting tv, but with the-stay-at-home order, my husband got Netflix and we are on season 5, he adores 'Red'... Keep Strong New York ♥️
He's the f**king lizard king
"I'm fine, bitch. I'm fine"
I watch the blacklist and had no idea he acts almost exactly the same. Love it!
I can’t even imagine living surrounded by cement and buildings. Country and nature for me
It's nice to visit but city life for me.

he’s so good at controlling his facial expressions. that’s why he’s so good in the blacklist
I agree . New Yorkers are so friendly , welcoming and authentic .
He's talented. I wonder how many more Blacklist he can do. He rocked as Ultron.
a penny for your thoughts James 😂❤️.. His reaction, his laugh at 1:37 so precious .. love you❤️
