I wouldn't say that. 2 oscars, many lead and supporting roles, an upcoming MCU project in the lead. He doesn't seem interested in doing many big budget blockbusters.
This is my first time hearing his natural voice. After watching green book and his persona and voice in that role, I’m so shocked! Phenomenal performance as Dr Shirley!
Love Mahershala... such a talented and kind human being. One of the best actors of our generation right now. He was excellent in Rami and Moonlight was one of my favorite films I've seen. Such an impactful actor.
In order to pay him the attention that he deserves I first had to get over the outfit. The stylist CRUSHED it. Mahershala breathing life onto pink. Having said that.. what a wonderful person.
Mahershala Ali is so completely under-rated. This man's ability is taken for granted, BECAUSE he absolutely disappears into his character to such a degree, it's completely overlooked. And to top it off, he's just such a cool laid-back dude. Someone you'd really like to sit down and knock back a few with, and uniquely would be down-to-Earth enough to appreciate the interaction.
Such a joy to have his processes and insights, challenges, goals and triumphs explained so frankly is wonderful. Thank you for sharing such a compelling talent.
@@Partizan145 I think that’s cause he isn’t a “movie star” per say(this will change when Blade comes out) but he’s definitely one of the most celebrated actors of this generation.
Man, I did not realize how many productions this man was a part of that I was a fan of. The 4400? Benjamin Button? I really need to go back and watch these again.
Hearing him talk about acting is on par with hearing Tarantino talk about directing, only less hyperactive. You can practically feel the passion ooze out of the screen.
He was actually great in the 4400 and was one of the best characters… probably was channeling his grandfather as his character was a Korean War pilot… underrated for actor for sure
Just watched Swan Song, the apple movie. He is up there amongst the best of the best. Hope he gets the mass recognition he deserves while he is still in his prime.
I just finished his season of True Detective and I knew I had to find an interview of him talking about this role. He disappeared in Wayne! Absolutely blown away by him.
I hope Mahershala and Viggo do another movie together. Their chemistry in green book was amazing and they formed genuine friendship while making this movie as well.
How is this the best, most empathetic, most thought out behind the character that I have ever seen? By far… I feel like I’ve grown just watching this. He has a new mega fan!
It's a shame how low the view count is on this video compared to most of the other breakdown videos. He's one of the best actors around.
I was thinking the same thing
Wait til blade comes out
Stop and look at how there are almost none of these videos of women actors. I’ve seen two.
@@libbiehorn3546 to be fair gq is a magazine that was designed for men.
@@OJrB100 omg is he playing blade!?! 😍
His role in moonlight moved me in so many ways probably one of my favorite movies ever made
Oh yeah for sure but green book was just breath taking
The most down to earth actor to ever grace the screen. He's such a humble guy.
I don’t think the producers knew how good Mahershala was gonna be on Luke Cage season 1. But I’m happy he’s blade now.
Yea his character was killed off too soon, I think he could have made for a great villain for at least 3 or 4 seasons.
Yes he was a good tragic villain that was killed off way too son in the series
Luckily his character was killed not causing to many problems now that he is blade
Man cottonmouth made the first season
Sadly not anymore
Unbelievably underrated actor
Well he does have 2 Oscars ;)
I wouldn't say that. 2 oscars, many lead and supporting roles, an upcoming MCU project in the lead. He doesn't seem interested in doing many big budget blockbusters.
Good points
First Muslim to win two Oscars
Wtf he aint underrated his like an A list actor 😂
Hes gonna crush it as BLADE.
"Are you sure you're ready for that Mr. Whitman?"
Disagree. He's too soft-edged. But, I'll take it.
He gave me Blade vibes in Alita Battle Angel.
@@djuanbenjamin9149 Ew. I'm sorry you saw that.
@@obmarte3803 soft edged? He played cottonmouth on Luke cage
I LOVE his voice. Can’t wait to see him as Blade. He’s going to kill it. Fantastic casting.
His performance as Juan was a masterclass in subtlety.
This is my first time hearing his natural voice. After watching green book and his persona and voice in that role, I’m so shocked! Phenomenal performance as Dr Shirley!

I don't think it's a stylist's doing, I think Mahershala actually just has an insane fashion sense.
His perfomance on Luke Cage was amazing. Great actor!
There is a grace to his roles that I do not think can be replicated by anyone else.

U can tell he loves what he does for a living
He should’ve gotten the Emmy for True Detective
I don’t care about awards. But he he was stellar in that role.
Yes!!!
And now he’s to play Blade. I’m super hyped.
He's a tremendous actor. Will be reminded for being one of the greatest in the Future.
Such a joy to have his processes and insights, challenges, goals and triumphs explained so frankly is wonderful. Thank you for sharing such a compelling talent.
He seems so humble and thoughtful what a wonderful actor and man
One of the most underrated actors
He’s a 2 time Oscar winner 😂
@@Chris24_ that's right. He doesn't get talked enough

Such a brilliant, talented and beautiful actor. Love watching him on tv and hearing him speak
Man, I did not realize how many productions this man was a part of that I was a fan of. The 4400? Benjamin Button? I really need to go back and watch these again.
His performance in Green Book is phenomenal
man, pink looks so good on dark skin tones.
He has a soothing voice.
Incredible talent, humble and kind person on top of it.
No rami? That was one of my favorite roles of his.
Yes! This comment! His character made me realize he is a true force to be reckoned with
he is really calm and humble
Mahershala Ali one of the greatest actors of our time! 🤗👏🤸🏼💝
Him and Yahya Abdul Mateen are slowly becoming my favorites.
Same! I'm especially looking forward to Abdul Mateen's future
dont forget lakeith stanfield!
@@Antwannnn dude is absolutely crushing it
he’s gonna be an icon oh my god
Moonlight is one of the best stories I have ever seen in film 😭
He makes my heart happy. Most beautiful eyes
He is so passionate about what he does! I love and appreciate that passion, that's what makes him the best!
Watching this man act in Green Book with Viggo Mortensen was such an experience 🔥
This is a beautiful black man.
His performance in season 3 of True Detective is criminally underrated, as is season 3 imo.
_moonlight_ & _green book_ are crazy good movies.
Probably an easy top 50 movies all time in the future. Green book was so good
One of the best actors around, my bf gets super excited when we see his name in films or series.
He was so good in the role I stopped watching Luke Cage when they killed his character
He was amazing in True Detective and House of Cards, and also The Place Beyond the Pines!
Best actor of the past decade. Pure talent. He’ll certainly win more awards.
S3 of True Detective is a masterpiece imo. I am so excited to see this man as Blade!!!
This is my Muslim husband. I love him to pieces. Such an amazing actor!!!!
Hearing him talk about acting is on par with hearing Tarantino talk about directing, only less hyperactive. You can practically feel the passion ooze out of the screen.
This was really great! I enjoyed watching and listening. I was actually intrigued by this interview.
One of my favorite actors working right now👏🏾
He was actually great in the 4400 and was one of the best characters… probably was channeling his grandfather as his character was a Korean War pilot… underrated for actor for sure
Thank u for true detective season 3. Absolutely crushed it sir
There's a man who has the aura of a middle aged man when he's on screen and then energy and vitality of a man in his late 20's off screen. Great Actor
I LOVE his voice, ever since i've seen him in Green Book as Dr Shirley and I've been so obsessed with him ❤❤
no cause the way i'm obsessed with him! LOVE ME SIR! PLS
Moonlight was actually why I didn’t catch on to this amazing actor at first. Until I saw his other roles . Now when I see him I watch
Just watched Swan Song, the apple movie. He is up there amongst the best of the best. Hope he gets the mass recognition he deserves while he is still in his prime.
Mahershala Ali, Lakeith Stanfield and Yahya Abdul Mateen in one movie is what I ask, please and thank you.
I can’t believe Mahershali Ali made a movie with David Fincher… absolute legendary duo. I hope they do more collaborations.
I love and admire this guy, he's such a great Actor. If I am to choose a favorite movie he's done, it will be Green Book
Viggo should have gotten the Oscar
Everytime he played in a movie, the movie was great
I just finished his season of True Detective and I knew I had to find an interview of him talking about this role. He disappeared in Wayne! Absolutely blown away by him.
My favourite actor, so versatile
Love him he is like Oscar man 😍
This guy is such a good actor🔥
He was perfect in The Green Book
His role as Wayne Hays in True Detective season 3 was phenomenal ! he made you feel everything the character was going though
Never clicked on something this fast! 🔥🔥
I thought the way he sounded in House of Cards and True Detective was his real voice lol. Great actor
Love to this actor!! The green book is one of my favourite films!! He's awesome and such a cool dude!!!
I really like Mahershala! [ Moonlight ] & [ Green Book ] is the best!
Great actor and a great man❤
he is the most talented actor out there. incredible!
I hope Mahershala and Viggo do another movie together. Their chemistry in green book was amazing and they formed genuine friendship while making this movie as well.
Swan Song Swan Song Swan Song so beautiful.
He was great in Green book, and of course in my favorite film of all time The curious case of Benjamin Button he is a phenomenal actor !
What a charming man
Swan Song was beautiful
Incredible actor. He will kill it as blade.
Green Book is such a great piece!
Cast him as the Emperor in Dune Part Two
adore this man. forever and always.
I love him so much. Cottonmouth and blade
one of the best actors of tis era
How is this the best, most empathetic, most thought out behind the character that I have ever seen? By far… I feel like I’ve grown just watching this. He has a new mega fan!
Beautiful guy 😍
an undisputed GOAT actor i would absolutely go that far
Excellent actor one of my faves
Love him
Never heard of him before green book but he’s one of the greats
He crushed it on House of Cards.
I loved him as Cottonmouth. Looking forward to seeing him as Blade.
His most iconic?! This man's whole career is iconic! Pick any character...
Amazing actor I've been a fan since House of Cards.
Very intelligent actor devoted to his craft.
Great actor
He’s very underrated
Marshall Ali is Denzel Washington and James Earl Jones if they fused together
I'd say Denzel , Wesley and hint of Paul Robenson , he was a division 1 baller and rapper named Prince Ali
that Cameron pink going hard
Range look like Laffy taffy
B L A D E for a whole generation ✨
I think it comes in end of 2024 so That Will Need Long Time to Come
Can't wait to see his take on Blade
He's so underrated
THIS MAN!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
