How does an actor get into the psychology of their character?
Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are joined by a very special guest, Karen Gillan, to talk about her illustrious career and her approach to acting and filmmaking. They take a look at some of Karen’s iconic roles and some-lesser known: Doctor Who, Oculus, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, and The Party's Just Beginning. They talk about perspective taking in acting and the ultimate reason people choose to act. Karen shares her empathetic approach to understanding her characters and why acting is like tennis. It’s a great metaphor!

Congratulations you guys are going hi
If ask for anything in return for goodness you don't goodness but doesn't asking in the first place .also mean lack of goodness
I've heard being stereotypical nice guy . Who wants appreciation for being Nice. But Hal didn't do much before he knew his place before getting buffed up. He seems more the loser incels who get on steroids and become The Jock bullies themselves.
Mega mind could also be used by the right as a case. Slave morality over the lefts some how making it nice guy syndrome

I'm currently in a place where depression and chronic pain have been keeping me from doing much of anything, and am just lucky enough to have a family that wants every kid to live at home so they can save up for a house.
But while being unemployed for quite a few months after a back surgery, I've completely realized I want to tell stories, preferably as a writer. Movies, TV, Comics, Games, anything like that (writing actual novels is something I really want to do, but I'm just not on that level of ability yet, and sort of feel like it'd work best if I co-authored with someone who I could bounce ideas off of and have them tell me I need to write).
Where do you even start with this stuff when you're 30, don't have any backup plans besides getting whatever entry-level job is available, and hadn't made anything before? Because I feel like I could write some good films or graphic novels, but where do you go to learn about the industry and apply for jobs. If it helps, I am actually a short commute from NYC.
Do I just go to places I'd want to work and hand out resumes and portfolios of scenes I'd written?
"Vincent and the Doctor" is an average to good _Doctor Who_ episode until that ending and then it just breaks your fucking heart but also gives you hope. And Gillan makes that. THE ULTIMATE GINGER!!!!
So truee
That episode is everything
When I want a really good cry, I go straight for that episode, that scene in the museum absolutely destroys me in all the right and necessary ways.
She was my favorite companion, and I'm not sure how much was the writing and how much is because she's just so amazing
1000%!!! It was so special
YOU GUYS GOT KAREN ON OMG IM TOTALLY WATCHING
My exact reaction, holy crap guys!
No seriously, I haven’t really truly known anyone up to this point, I LOVE THIS!!!!
Omg same! I heard her voice and I wanted to scream! I love Karen so much!!! I watched her as Amy Pond as a kid and it’s been so wonderful to see her in other roles too!!!
Well do it and quit broadcasting it to everybody...
@@gateauxq4604😅😅😊😊😊😊😅😅ij
I met Karen at a con when I was younger. I was dressed as pinkie pie and she said I was a pretty pink angel. I will never forget that.
Pinkie Pie for the win!
When I learned Karen was Nebula; I was mind blown. All I could picture was Amy, the girl who waited. Crazy range-love this actress
SAME
Right! I saw her bald online and found out then that she did it to help play Nebula! My jaw dropped! Dedication!
Amy Pond 🫠
AND she shaved her head for it... I was in awe that she did.
Best accent, best hair, best sense of humor, and the sweetest; she’s literally the perfect human being and I can’t wait for this!
Your right, my future wife really is the best 🤣
@@dcworld4349this is weird and gross
Its finally completed: ua-cam.com/video/GBt6oYfkB5o/v-deo.html
Good grief, she makes me _melt._
The ultimate ginger
When she said "Acting is reacting" it reminded me of what Matt LeBlanc said as Joey Tribbiani in the TV show FRIENDS in a special episode where Joey is teaching an acting class and he says "Acting is reacting... this does not mean 'Acting again'."
Hahaha 😂
100% thought that immediately 😄
Haha. I thought of The Good Place, Vicki. Something like, "Acting, is just reacting. And reacting is just preacting. And preacting. Well that's just being." Pretentious gibberish basically.
I thought acting was pissing yourself (laughin'), like life, tryin' to find a way!
Karen Gillan is one of my favorite actors, this is an amazing guest!! The internet dads are really going places!
Sameeee
Gotta put “the best internet dads” on their tombstones.
You guys are actually making it...
You're making your way to Hollywood...
Not a good thing unless they don’t BECOME A PART of Hollywood…if you know what I mean
They really are, and I’m happy for them!
Nebula is one of the MCU's most underrated characters, and has one of the top 5 character arcs, IMO. Props to the writing of her character, but most of the credit goes to Karen.
Agreed, she nails it!
100% agree!
Agreed, Nebula is one of my favorite characters!
Yes!! I could be wrong, but I feel like Nebula is one of the few, at least the one I remember, that actually decided to change and not just responded to the things that happened and then realized was different
I am so pleased by Karen's success. She has earned her place in the industry through grit and hard work.
What I love about that clip from Doctor Who is that life is not a balance sheet. We don't subtract the bad from the good. Everyone is complex and complicated.
You see that so often in Doctor Who in general. It really does kind of teach you about the reality of the world. That being said, the Vincent episode was so incredible and I bawl at the ending EVERY TIME.
Karen was genuinely such an enjoyable guest. She's eloquent, adorable, and hilarious.
That James Cameron thing killed me, lol
I can’t wait to see who else will guest star in the future!
@@CinemaTherapyShow That was John Carpenter, wasn't it...? Lmao
So delighted that you got Karen on this show. I'd seen her in a few episodes of "Doctor Who", but she really impressed me in "Welcome to the Jungle", where she subverted her usual action girl roles by playing a shy bookworm who has to portray a Lara Croft character. Also, her American accent is so convincing, that it's surprising to hear her real Scottish voice.
15:57 WOW, the fact she framed her character as the Scapegoated sibling in a narc family system is fascinating and helps me understand the story so much better.
I remember watching her behind-the-scenes video for Guardians Vol. 3 and having my jaw drop when I heard what she actually sounds like. Pair that with a fun, self-aware personality, and you have a recipe for success. For once, it's nice to have a Karen in Hollywood who is a total sweetheart.
Well said!
@@CinemaTherapyShow Thank you!
I always forget how thick Karen's accent really is until I see interviews and interactions like this. Amazing work on this one. A joy to watch.
Doctor who really is the best therapy for me. And I turned 12 when Karen and Matt joined the show, so their era got me through some awful times being queer and autistic throughout secondary/high school... an all-boys secondary school 🙃 the whole show has been my lifeline tbh. But yeah, I couldn't be more grateful for that entire era especially Karen, Matt and Arthur. Love Karen in everything she does. 😊 can't wait to watch this
I discovered Doctor Who when I was recovering from severe bullying in my previous school when I was 12. This show played a enourmous part in who I am now. And how I dress lol (the bowtie concept of "it's cool because it's ridiculous I love it and I don't care" really had me going)
I can relate to that, Doctor Who literally saved my life. I was living the worst period of my life. I had nothing, I was couch surfing, unemployed, semi escaped from my mental/physical/sexual abuser. I was a mess and very suicidal. Doctor who gave me hope and spark to move one day at a time. I still love the show so much. Also I will always be grateful to Amy and Rory's love.
@@arona6692 Props to you!! Always be yourself! 👍
The scene in GOTG Vol 3 where Nebula cries when she learns that Rocket was alive hits so hard, not just because she cries, but because Karen had spent multiple movies giving Nebula so much character and emotion. The decision to cry was probably a director/writer choice, but any actor could cry to make you feel sad - Karen broke our hearts (in the best way)
And WOW you guys are really getting the big leagues on this show. Esposito, Dastmalchian, Gorman, various directors. I binged all of the past stuff and its so awesome to see how youve grown. Time to finally subscribe and keep up to date with future stuff
Matt and Karen were my doctor and companion. I cannot put into words how much doctor who has influenced me, I don’t know if I would be the same person without it. It taught me to treat others with empathy, understanding and help others whenever you can. Thank you Karen and everyone else who participated in the making of the greatest sci fi show ever.
Getting Karen Gillan is a massive coup for the show and the choice to use that song from Vincent and the Doctor to preview the video at the start was superb.
A massive bravo to the editor/s of this one.
Ahh, what a crossover!! I've been a fan of hers since Doctor Who. I'm so proud of how much she's accomplished since then.
NO WAY. I LOVE KAREN GILLAN. YOU GUYS ARE SO LUCKY YOU GET TO MEET HER
I'm so proud of you guys! I remember 2-3 years ago when you were this fairly small channel and now you have all these people waiting to watch, you have Actors, & producers joining your episodes
You guys are doing so good !!!
Thank you!
yeah, I know right theses guys got me into therapy react videos
Love Karen! Amy Pond is one of my favorite characters. And the Vincent Van Gough episode is so amazing. I would love to be an actor like her
That "Good things and bad things" line from Vincent and The Doctor. Such a beautiful way to look at the world.
I remember when Karen was announced as Nebula, I was super excited. Karen did such a great job playing her. From reluctant villain to galactic hero, softening but never quite losing that edge.
Hope you guys can get more actors on, I love hearing about their process.
I first saw her in Oculus. I won't forget that night, nearly 10 years ago, huddled in a corner at a halloween party (maybe not fully sober), watching the movie, being terrified of a mirror because of Karen Gillan's acting. It takes a lot of work from the actors (and director) to make an inanimate object feel terrifying, but she was so good that I'm still scared of that mirror.
Great, underrated movie, except for the weird issue of her and her brother having absolutely different accents for no reason.
I don't even have to SEE the scene of Vincent, I'm crying. One of my favorite episode endings of TV ever.
The Van Gogh episode of Doctor Who is my all-time favorite. It never fails to make me cry.
Amy and Rory (as a unit) are my all-time favorite companions! And Karen is just such a sweet, relatable nerd too ❤
Super fun episode!
Well... apparently things were not great between them on set.
My god the Van Gogh episode in doctor who, I saw this in a time where I didn't think my contributions meant anything..... this hit so hard.
I thought it was super weird you were doing a Doctor Who ep, considering how broad it is. And it took me a minute of seeing the trailer to realise you got freaking Karen Gillan. Guys that's incredible! Congrats!
I would love them to therapize each of the Doctors, or at least each one from new Who. An episode each.
Karen is one of the coolest actors I have met!
She made me love Doctor Who. Her character was so deep and emotionally compelling.
While Doctor Who is a relevant topic, I suggest Jon consider checking out the episode Heaven Sent for Mended Light. It's a great, mostly stand alone story about overcoming grief.
It's also a solo performance and it's amazing
Maybe I will!
Can i also just say - I love that hug the Doctor gives Amy in that Dr who scene. Its not just a hug, its the holding the head, its hugging with all his might, the readjusting to keep hugging. Its beautiful.
😭In the Doctor Who Vincent van Gogh episode Karen, playing Amy Pond, plucked my heart strings with such skill that I cried-- ugly cried. It takes exceptional ability for an actor to give even the best scripts that much emotional power over the audience. Way to go, Karen.
Insane that you got Karen on the show!!
That van gogh doctor who scene was instrumental in helping me process my dad's suicide when I was a teenager so it's always been monumentally special to me
U GUYS CAME SO FAR IN YOUR JOURNEY WITH CINEMA THERAPY FROM YOUR INSIDE OUT VIDEO TO HAVING FELLOW CONTENT CREATORS AS GUESTS TO HAVING DIRECTORS AND FINALLY ONE AND ONLY THE KAREN GILLAN I AM SO PROUD AND HAPPY FOR YOU
If I didn't know that Gandalf was their dog, I would've had to picture a sagely old man throwing up on the carpet out of nowhere
I’m kind of sad that Selfie wasn’t discussed. I loved that series, and I think it was just a few years ahead of its time. It should have been a massive hit.
Karen mentioned at conventions about learning her character's motives in Selfie. I post updates about the Selfie cast on my page! They still get questions about the show even now. Karen and John met up last year.
I'm literally rewatching Amy's era of Doctor Who right now, so this is perfect timing 😂 I love Karen Gillan in DW and Guardians Of The Galaxy!
Oculus is my personal favourite movie of Karen’s, as well as one of the most underrated horror movies I have ever come across. Not just from an entertainment standpoint, but also from a bit of a personal one where siblings undergo trauma and they use each other as stepping stones to overcome it (obviously what I went through was NOWHERE near as bad as that, but it’s just from a standpoint of where I felt seen). I get that Oculus is pretty confronting from not only the supernatural aspects, but also the trauma aspects, but here’s hoping you guys do a video regarding that and trauma regarding siblings. Thanks so much for all the work you do and keep kicking ass!!!!!
Watching her work since her Dr Who days. What a great actor!
So excited for this actor deep dive! Karen is such a great actor that even though it took me awhile to warm to Amy Pond, it was never because of the choices she made as an actress, she always delivered (I just didn't care for the choices Amy the character makes in regard to her relationship with Rory). And I adore Nebula, the arc she has in the MCU made her the character I was most invested in by the time we got to Endgame. And then seeing her pull off comedy in Jumanji - what a legend!
As you will soon see, she's also just a delightful, down-to-Earth person. You're right, though, she's an incredible talent.
Not the soundtrack for the end of Vincent and the doctor in the beginning!!! Instant crying right here i loooooove that episode ❤
It's one of my absolute favorite Who episodes, right up there with the episode with Ten and Donna where the Ood have "red eye".
Pleasant surprise to see Doctor Who in an episode
I am so happy to see more and more people from the film industry are appreciating the work you both do!
Is it a brag to say so are we? Or is it just geeky excitement?
@@CinemaTherapyShow I would say 95% geeky excitement and 5% brag.
Nah man. Y'all worked hard for this and you're making an actual change in people's lives. I think you're allowed to brag, but in a healthy, internet dads approved kinds of way.@CinemaTherapyShow
The Ponds and their daughter River are the best companions ever written for Doctor Who. Best story line of all time.
KAREN GILLAN??? I'm so excited for this episode, I LOVED her in jumanji and the mcu ❤
Love Karen!!!! Such an amazing actress and lovely person. Amy Pond was one of my favorite companions of all time!!
And omg the Doctor Who Vincent Van Gogh episode is one of my favorites!! Absolutely bawled my eyes out when I first watched it. Truly incredible.
Omg, Karen Gillian! I love that they played the song Chances by Athlete from the Vincent Van Gogh episode in the opening montage ❤ that was my very first Dr. Who episode ever and made me fall in love with the series, Matt Smith’s Doctor, and Amy Pond and Rory Williams as my favorite companions. Thank you for such amazing performances!!
YEAH, ONE OF MY FAVORITE VOICE ACTORS!!!
"Every life is a pile of good things and bad things."
Definitely feeling that lately. it's now been over a month since my mom died, still not handling that well.
Hearing her voice... I squealed!!! Can't wait!
I feel like I need to live in Scotland. Scottish women make me 🫠
OMG OMG OMG our fav internet dads actually got the actual real KAREN GILLIAN in their vid like hell yes
I love that they used Vincent and the Doctor as the backing audio :D
Wow, Jono and Alan, this was so cool! It's so much fun to see you guys get to interview so many huge talents about their work like this, and Karen is such a superstar in every way -- I especially love the way, in every interview, you take care to champion their range and body of work, which has to be so meaningful to them. Huge kudos -- beautiful, moving interview with one of my favorite actors of all time. (The fact that Karen played Nebula, Amy Pond, and Ruby Roundhouse/Martha -- that's Oscar-level range right there.)
So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Just rewatched all of the Amelia Pond Doctor Who seasons! This couldn’t come at a perfect time!
I fell into a very heavy burnout with deep depressions. All I could do every day was go from my bed to my couch, watch tv all day and return to bed (and wrestled terrible thoughts). That's when I rediscovered Doctor Who. The Syfy channel was airing the 11th doctor, Karen, Matt, Arthur and Alex. They made me laugh, they made me cry, they showed me life is beautiful and worth living. They helped me through my burnout. I am forever grateful for them coming together and create such an awesome show. I will always love and miss Amy Pond. And ever since, I've been rooting for Karen to have an amazing career. I went to see Oculus in the theatre, just to see how she did in a different part (plus I love horror).
I had read that Karen Gillan was interested in not only playing Batgirl but also directing the movie. When the nearly complete movie ended up being scrapped, my one positive take away was “At least now maybe the Karen Gillan one can happen 🤷”
KAREN OMGGGG!!!! Thanks so much y'all this one was awesome!
Thanks for watching! :)
Well. I guess it’s time to go watch Guardians of the Galaxy 2 for the 50th time. Karen is amazing!! I didn’t know she wrote her own movies! I’ll be watching those ASAP! She seems like such a lovely person
I just want to say thank you for hosting this whole show. I don't think there's a relationship in my life that hasn't been improved by remembering and internalizing things from your show. Helped to save my current romantic relationship. Thank you
Thank you!
27:27 Karen literally talking about Jono and Alan!
I say this with love but your thumbnails are not doing you justice for these guest episodes!! It's so awesome that you're getting these guests, the whole world should be running to these videos
Oculus is to this day one of my favorite horror movies! It's genuinely so unnerving
Vincent and the Doctor is one of my all time favourite episodes - always makes me cry though 😭
Jack Black made The House with Clocks in the Walls a side-splitting adventure because he was so dedicated to his roll! I was convinced he riffed half the lines when he was having a back and forth with Cate Blanchette “I’d give you an ugly look buuuut… you’ve already got one.” 😂
Karen Gillan is so talented. I'm so glad you guys had the opportunity to interview with her!
I liked hear angry nebula face so much. She made bad emotions adorable.
Oculus was one of the first horror movies I ever saw. I was 14 years old watching with a friend after after her surgery. We had such a fun time! I’ll never forget that day!
That was quite the treat! Thank you for having such a wonderful and talented guest on your show! Fun and insightful!
Our pleasure. Thanks for watching!
I've been subscribed since about April 2020, and I've loved the content and watching your channel grow and reach more people. I'm thrilled with the guests you've gotten to come on and share this side of what makes them so good at their job. It's a beautiful thing.
Thank you! And thanks for being an OG fan! It means so much.
@@CinemaTherapyShow You guys have earned it! Never once have I watched one of your videos and been disappointed (except that they end sooner than I want!) I love watching you trade who's leading it off, and the different perspectives you bring to it all. It's a beautiful thing, and I'm thrilled to be one of your subscribers! Thank you for the additional stability you bring to my life and to the lives of so many who watch you!
THIS IS CRAZY!! as a longtime karen gillan and cinema therapy fan this is just wild to me
2:47 This part & the earlier part where Vincent is at the museum in this episode gets me every time...
Omg omg you got her!!! Congrats Internet dads!
You guys didn’t reference it, but I also loved Karen Gillan in the short-lived “Selfie” TV series. Only lasted one season, but I really would have enjoyed them getting the chance to turn “My Fair Lady” on its head.
Yes!! My page is dedicated to Selfie. Karen Gillan and John Cho met up last year too. They still get questions about the show even now.
Let's gooo, I was scrolling down the comments looking for someone to mention this amazing show. I literally got chills when I read your comment and saw you mentioned Selfie. I watched the show back when it was new a decade ago and like many others, I wish it lasted for longer because it's amazing. But even with its super short amount of episodes, it's enough to leave a mark. Many reviewers told the same tale about how they initially thought the show would be just another basic haha superficially funny dumb show but that episode by episode they saw how the writers were doing something great and building great character arcs and journeys. It's one of the biggest tv crimes that it got cut short, but what a gem for the few of us who know it 🌟
@@selfieigniteomg it's you!! I searched up Selfie content and interviews a couple of years ago and I watched some on your channel, I know because some of your vids are marked as viewed to me. Thank you for everything!
@@OshawottLuke Aw, you're welcome! Someone is trying to get the cast together for another project. I really hope it goes through. Selfie's 10th anniversary is later this year ☺ It was definitely ahead of its time.
I loved the vulnerability she brought to Selfie and am still mad it got canceled. Her rendition of Chandelier was tears-inducing.
If you're interested, Karen Gillan made up the ending to Selfie on my page! She met up with John Cho last year too
That “all I wanted was a sister” just always brings tears to my eyes - the loneliness in that delivery is heartbreaking.
I'll always love Karen for her role as Amy Pond. So excited to see her on here! Had no idea she's a Director. Love to see the success she's had.
I could listen to Karen speak all day. Such an absolute delight and Amy was such an amazing companion, easily my favorite.
Kudos to whomever scoured the coup of booking Karen Gillan.
That episode of Doctor Who makes me sob every single time! Karen Gillian has such a range, I always love the things she creates/stars in.
I've been watching Dr Who since the 80a and NEVER EVER has an episode made me weep for joy until the Van Gogh one
Thank you for talking about the Vincent episode in Doctor Who. I was waiting for this one. Also, love you Karen!
Nice! She is such a talent! Very much looking forward to the full episode! 👍🏻 👍🏻
Thank you for finally going over Nebula. This isn’t just Nebula-you guys got the woman who brought her to life. This is awesome!!!!
the van gogh scene came up I started tearing up, not just because of the beauty of the scene but because of the situation, Karen on cinema therapy watching a legendary DW scene.... what a journey we are all going through
It is good to see Karen getting recognition for her skills as more than a supporting actor.
She's the highlight of the Jumanji sequels. She's so damn funny and charming 🥰
Karen Gillan has been one of my favorite actresses since she was on Doctor Who. I'm so happy that she was able to come on my favorite UA-cam Channel. Keep up the great work Cinema Therapy. You deserve the recognition!
Thanks so much! ☺️
she is my ultimate favorite Doctor companion… love love love Amy Pond
also love Karen everywhere i have seen her - she is really good in my humble opinion 😊
I got to meet Karen when she was in Doctor Who she is a wonderful and sweet person, sadly I can't be there due to work but ill definitely watch it when i get home
Met her, too, and she's truly wonderful. So beautiful as well 🥺
Not recognizing James Cameron is a power move.
Her character in the show Selfie truly broke my heart. I saw so much of the parts of myself I tried to hide in that character. It’s what push me over the edge to get help.
My page is dedicated to the show Selfie! Karen Gillan still gets questions about the show even now
Was so good to watch this!!
I would love to see you guys tackle X-Men 97, because that show is filled with interpersonal relationships that need to be reviewed by you too!
Oh, this is gonna be good! I love Karen Gillan.
Ever since Doctor Who, Love her!
EDIT: That James Cameron story was amazing!
The James Cameron story was just fantastically great. Loved it.
She’s so talented I can’t believe yall were able to get her on this show, thats insane
