A wonderful actor and a deeply thoughtful, kind, mercurial and intelligent man. Actors like Mark don't come around very often and he's one we should treasure and be immensely proud of. I met him when I was 18 on my first visit to The Globe in London. The building was captivating but so was Marks brief talk to our group of college students. He gave me a life long live of Shakespeare and appreciation of the power and beauty of words & the English language. I will never forget his affable and approachable manner, he is a man who's supremely gifted but who wears his talents modestly and quietly. Some actors you admire their work but not the soul behind it. With Mark you get both in one man. He always fights for those that lack a voice in society and that strong moral compass & immense heart is something which sets him apart from many in this field.
This man is an extraordinary human being. He is ahead of his time in terms of his grace, humility, modesty and compassion for humanity. He is one of a kind. A unique and incredible man.
"I think there should be more attention paid to the psychological demands of acting for young people. Most good actors are creatures of appetite, are visceral people, sensual people; and so I think the counseling of the young people at RADA is an important aspect of the work that goes on there (apart from the training to become an actor). Counseling about how your behavior as a person under pressure is a very important part of the training." I suffered from this myself, and am grateful that Sir Rylance acknowledged this truth about creative types, in general, and in a crucible kind of training experience, in the particular.
Somewhat in a way...his voice isn’t as raspy in other interviews that I’ve seen of him and it’s much more lighter and softer (and higher pitched) than John Hurt’s was. It’s also a bit less posh sounding.
@@flannerymonaghan-morrs4740 I believe this interview was made whilst Mark was performing Jerusalem. You may notice that around this time (2011/2012), his voice is a lot deeper and more raspy because he uses the lower part of his throat when doing Johnny rooster Byron's voice. That must be the reason why his voice sounds different here compared to other interviews.
3 years ago, studying drama in NYC, I was moaning about a Shakespeare sonnet, in the corridor just as Mark Rylance came round the corner. He just stared into me. Annoyed.

We are so fortunate to have this actor.
indeed he is a real thing to eat - always, thanks a lot for the interview
Looking forward to seeing him as the BFG!
Believability is key, otherwise an actor falls into sheer, fake pretense even if it's subtle.
*sees coffee in his hand*
Damn it, now I want a coffee.
The texture of his voice reminds me slightly of that of John Hurt's.
Slightly related. Malcolm McDowell and John Hurt sound practically identical.
