Unfortunately I couldn't watch a play by him because I'm and live in another country. But because of the versatility and acting in different productions such as cinema and TV, we could admire him working. He is very reserved but has always said how much he values family and friends. I imagine how many negatives he received during his career, especially in LA and how many wonderful jobs he didn't do for lack of opportunity. Despite Monk's resounding success in several countries, he is still a humble person.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MONK AND THE WHOLE CAST. MONK WAS ONE OF THE BEST SERIES EVER. HE’S THE GUY 😊

[@yannickrocher417]

what a generous and charismatic person! Also a marvellous actor!!!

[@wandabritt4400]

Thank you for your oh so brilliant talent Mr. Shalhoub, my sister and I both love watching the wonderful way you portray your characters, especially Monk!

[@genny9026]

One of my favourite actors. He’s brilliant.

[@elishmuel1976]

Yep. Came here to get some more of Tony after watching him on Seth Myers. He's one of my all time favourite actors and wanted to hear more from him and his craft

[@susanpage2522]

Indeed he is. And steals ever scene he’s in, whether he’s the main character or not!

[@BrendaLaTorre]

And now... favorite person and artist.

[@SarahPerine]

Can’t choose a favorite between Tony Shalhoub and Roberto Benigni. They can express a range of humor and devastation that can be felt so purely. Love them and many thanks for this interview 💚

First saw him as Professor Wiseman in The Amazing Mrs Maisel.

[@verisimilitone]

That opening. What a class act. No joke, I became a better person after installing the Helen Parr soundbyte from The Incredibles: "This is NOT. ABOUT. YOU!" directly into my inner dialogue.

[@Horrormoviefan9]

Wings is one of my favorite shows. 🧡🥰
