@@RubyDoobieScoo Exact same here 😂 Between that and seeing him as High Sparrow I just genuinely assumed he was a bit of a stern fellow, but he's clearly wonderful.
The bit about him and Anthony Hopkins is great. I love how old *bRiTiSh* actors are so lovingly bitchy with each other. Just like Maggie Smith and Judi Dench lol (or Maggie Smith and Ian McKellen😂)
I completely agree! BUT! Correction: They are both Welsh. (As someone explained it to me when I made the same mistake, all people from the UK are British, but only those from England are English.)
Brazil - is still one of those movies if you consider yourself a movie nerd you have already seen Brazil. 1985 but even the movie nerds of the 1990's and early 2000's this was a must-watch (pre and early internet). The third act is still stellar 40ish years later. Sir Pryce puts on a masterclass in acting and I do not type this lightly.
I didn't even know that after I watched him last night & haven't seen that movie in a long time either actually. I'm kind of surprised Seth didn't say about him in Pirates of the Caribbean & also The Wife he did. 👍
Also about his "feud" with Anthony Hopkins... He said that after they did Two Popes, Hopkins would sign his e-mails as "Sir Number Two" because Jonathan was not a Sir (but now he is).
People sometimes leave him out when they talk about the amazing ensemble cast of Glengarry Glenn Ross. It's a subtle, quiet, and very fine performance.
He worked under Terry Gillam in 'The Adventures of Baron Munchausen' Comedy he is a critic to theater performances. For people who never saw this but like Monty Python you will like this. One of my favorite films that I watch over and over. Jonathan is marvelous as the villain.
so glad you mentioned his amazing work in Brazil alongside a young DeNiro. Hopefully at least one person watches the Terry Gilliam classic just because of that. a bit weird but worth the watch!
In Britain we’ve seen a lot of Jonathan on our teles and radio too. So we’re no strangers to his great acting. The first American film I saw him in was one with Whoopie Goldberg.
This man is also good at playing villains as well. He was a good Bond villain. Also the IRA terrorist in Ronin. Who also remembers him in What a girl Wants? He looked evil what that goatee.
This gentleman is a great actor. Unfortunately I not seen a lot of his work recently. I can not wait to see Slow Horses. To me his best role was in Brazil.
'Fraid so chum; suffocated in a deluge of Mammon and burgers. (I was going to attempt Edwardian language but it's late, and as you can plainly read: I'm very tired)
He plays Kiera Knightley’s dad in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Great actor, if he’s in the show or movie that you’re watching, it’s a sure sign it’s gonna be a good one.
I had no idea this gentleman was so hilarious. The perfect pairing with Mr. Meyers
I just assumed that he wasn't after he didn't laugh and Ricky Gervais' pope joke at the golden globes.
He played the Master in the Comic relief Doctor Who episode from the 90s written by Steven Moffat, he was so good

Cinematic treasure, this interview made me laugh so hard, it’s fun to find out a great actor is a real person. RIP Mr. Pryce’s chihuahua.
Amazing interview! I saw Mr. Pryce in Miss Saigon many years ago - I'm so glad that he didn't retire at 60!
Down to earth, doesn’t take himself too seriously. Great actor.
To me, he will always be Mr. Dark (Something Wicked This Way Comes). Truly scary in that film. Terrific actor!
Absolutely. I was going to post the same thing. Love him in that. The scene in the library is so good
@@AgtDrakenot many young actors could go toe-to-toe with Jason Robards!
@@AgtDrake That scene was terrifying, and the scene where the kids were in the sewer and Dark was talking to Robards!
"Brazil"...one of the greatest films ever.
is it safe? 😷
Incredible actor with such range. So many great roles.
The voice of Infiniti too 😉
I'll always remember him as Elizabeth Swans dad in the Pirates movies. Great actor
Johnny Depp was such a big fan of him that his involvement was apparently a factor in getting him to do the film.
No joke, him playing that bond villain role is what inspired me to learn how to type one handed 😂
The bit about him and Anthony Hopkins is great. I love how old *bRiTiSh* actors are so lovingly bitchy with each other. Just like Maggie Smith and Judi Dench lol (or Maggie Smith and Ian McKellen😂)

Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen are buddies and they have fun.
Be honest, how many of you know this great actor from his role in Brazil?
I knew him from Evita the movie
It's where I first heard of him. Just got the three-disc Criterion edition.
Pirates of the Carribean for me.
He is amazing in Brazil. Fantastic film.
First movie I saw him in and a bonafided masterpiece.
The Goat is an amazing play. Perhaps my favourite play written in the last fifty years.

Love him in pirates of the caribean movies, slow horses, and GOT. Great actor.
Someone excellent this way comes.
What a delightful, very witty man.
He was extraordinary as Cardinal Wolsey in Wolf Hall.
The whole of Wolf Hall was fab!
I remember him dancing and singing in "Unconditional Love". Amazing actor.
My favorite James Bond villain.
I didn't even know that after I watched him last night & haven't seen that movie in a long time either actually. I'm kind of surprised Seth didn't say about him in Pirates of the Caribbean & also The Wife he did. 👍
I’ve had a bit of a crush on him since I saw Jumping Jack Flash.
The man is a master storyteller. Take your hat off.
He played the master.
Opposite Lumley.
I have loved him and his work since I saw him in Gilliam's film Brazil. He can do no wrong.
We love jonathan pryce
Me too - he comes from my home town and the accent takes me home
Yay! He's such a lovely person 🎉❤ And I LOVE Slow Horses!!!
Also about his "feud" with Anthony Hopkins... He said that after they did Two Popes, Hopkins would sign his e-mails as "Sir Number Two" because Jonathan was not a Sir (but now he is).

Oh I love slow horses! JP is very good in it!
Great sense of humour
Very quick witted and funny.
Seth is the best interviewer. 💙💯👌🏽
Saw 3/4 of Brazil a few weeks back and had the weirdest dreams that night. Wish I remembered them.
The High Sparrow on Seth Meyers!
Thank you for that, because I was trying to remember who he played in that show.
Wish this would have been longer ❤ great conversation
What a delightful interview!
He has been in many musicals and played Peron in Evita ...RADA grad 1971
A delightful conversation!
The Two Popes was an extraordinary film!
Thank you sir, for sharing your time here.
Thanks Seth for highlighting Wales - from a Welshman - Pryce is underrated compared to Hopkins and Burton
Well I'd watch that play for sure.
He worked under Terry Gillam in 'The Adventures of Baron Munchausen' Comedy he is a critic to theater performances. For people who never saw this but like Monty Python you will like this. One of my favorite films that I watch over and over. Jonathan is marvelous as the villain.
"Brazil" remains my favorite. Though he probably wouldn't sit still for it, I'd like to spend 9 or 10 hours discussing that movie with him.
so glad you mentioned his amazing work in Brazil alongside a young DeNiro. Hopefully at least one person watches the Terry Gilliam classic just because of that. a bit weird but worth the watch!
watching slow horses, Brilliant piece of acting.
In Britain we’ve seen a lot of Jonathan on our teles and radio too. So we’re no strangers to his great acting. The first American film I saw him in was one with Whoopie Goldberg.
Don't forget he starred in the original production of Miss Saigon (though not without controversy) and Cabaret.
Love this person, a lot.
He's so funny & sweet, great guest.
I actually laughed out loud at the typing bit. Thought no one would notice, but we did. 🤣
Pryce in "Brazil" was chilling.
We love it when the Welsh talk about being Welsh on late night!
I've seen Jonathan Pryce in a variety of roles but he is far superior in bad guys characters 💙 He is a lovely man!
This was fantastic!
This man is also good at playing villains as well. He was a good Bond villain. Also the IRA terrorist in Ronin. Who also remembers him in What a girl Wants? He looked evil what that goatee.
I really enjoyed this interview. Jonathan is surprisingly funny and very entertaining.
An international treasure
Why isn’t Jonathan Pryce on every chat show all the time?
because he's got other things to do.
@@Dave1507 Fair enough. But presumably before you got your shot in you at least understood the sentiment I was trying to get across.
Nobody mentioned the musical: Evita. He played Peron .
Love that guy.
that was lovely
How They Throw Rocks was one of the highlights of a terrific season of Documentary Now 😍👌
He nailed Game of Thrones!
Glad to see Pryce is just as sharp as ever, in contrast to his character on Slow Horses.
I knew I liked this guy just from his TV performances, LOL.
Well that was delightful..
Seth's hair's starting to look like vampire Mr. Burns, lol.
Low key still my favorite James Bond villain.
Known to me from Jumping Jack Flash!!
Who remembers Jumpin Jack Flash? It was so bad it was so good
He's fucking incredible in Slow Horses.
oh, the high sparrow himself!
I've always been a fan of Pryce since Something Wicked This Way Comes.
It might be the glasses (it certainly wasn't Pryce's voice) but at times I could swear I was looking at Woody Allen. 👓
I feel like people tend to leave out one of his earlier roles with Whoopi Goldberg in the movie "Jumpin' Jack Flash," from the 80's (1986).
This gentleman is a great actor. Unfortunately I not seen a lot of his work recently. I can not wait to see Slow Horses. To me his best role was in Brazil.
You missed his stint as a spy in “Jumping Jack Flash”
Love him since Ronin
Lovely ❤
Listen kids, this man was in Carrington! One of the most beautiful movie about love I've ever seen. You'll always be my Lytton sir! 😊
Since we are mentioning movies…
Ronin
Could he play Bernie Sanders? He has the look down.
I so hope that Queen story is true.
"Delicious!"
Well done for calling him ‘Sir’, you may not agree with UK titles, but he has one.
Great actor, slow horses is awesome. Fantastic interview.
BRAZIL!
.... Please! (hehehe we were all thinking it.)
What a girl wants!! 🎥
You couldn't mention Something Wicked This Way Comes?!
It was a mistake to have Jonathan Pryce on and not mention Brazil and Something Wicked This Way Comes.
👍👍👍👍
And that's what killed the queen.
Tragic that Mister Bond had to win...
I for one approved of our Carver British Steve Jobs media overlord!

The quality of the last generation of British people to ever exist.
Everyone here is just American now in all but name.
Plenty of British people exist in Britain. Pryce is not the last generation by any means.

What a truly bizarre thing to say
@@Norway604 How so?
The wife?
6:55 controlled by the outdated need for social reinforcement
Stage and screen legend with a 50-year career behind him. It's *just* possible he's downplaying his motivations for comedic effect here.
who he?
The High Sparrow from GoT.
He plays Kiera Knightley’s dad in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Great actor, if he’s in the show or movie that you’re watching, it’s a sure sign it’s gonna be a good one.
Do you realise who that is? He used to be in The Crown.
Who you?
@@narabdela who u?
Also, I won't be watching past the 10 seconds that has played and I will not watch a film with this actor again because he supports a murderer!
U
Who do you mean?
Same thing happened when Shakespeare invited Elizabeth I to see his play about a man having an affair w a sheep.
