@@sarcasticallyrearranged In a way his handsomeness was distracting. It took focus from his epic talent and voice. That's why I love him even more now in his latest years. But you're right. Old, bald and chubby. (and gorgeous)
It sucks for men! I mean how does a guy with that much hair end up going bald in a pretty short time! It doesn't take away from his talent and his magnetism at all. I'm just saying, it's not fair! 😅
I had the biggest crush on him in pretty in pink, and still crushing on him on the blacklist. I could listen and look at him all day! Thank you Mr spader for your incredible talent!
James Spader has an old soul. I love how he, especially at that age, is all about his family and his acting, he takes it very seriously. In many interviews when he was young, he really has to straighten out many of the interviewers who treat him like he's all about being a sex object (this interviewer did not, she was fine) and who assume that he is not a serious actor due to how many viewers "see" him. James, even at that age, did not fall for the glam, he was all about working hard to be the best actor he could be.
I’m really surprised as the only thing I’ve noticed him in was Boston Legal & I loved his character! I have seen clips of Pretty in Pink, but have not seen the whole movie.
Fucking class, Spader. From Pretty in Pink to Sex, Lies & Videotape to Boston Legal to Blacklist (& a 100 in between). Thoughtful, reflective, compassionate. One of the best actors of our generation. ❤
I recently re-watched Pretty in Pink and now, as a grandma, I found James' character to be very sympathetic. James had, even then, that ability to convey so much with a look or a tone of voice that adds dimension to any character he portrays.
He must be the most original guy I’ve ever seen. Love his way of talking. He really puts his heart and thoughts when talking. Very charismatic. So glad he chose the acor carreer. He has made so many memorable and amazing characters, and people never seems to get enough of him. I certainly understad why! Love this guy
I'm from Boston and cape cod as well.i didn't know this about him.the way he described his character in pretty in pink made me laugh,that he thought he was too old to be believed in high school, but I think alot of actors are older than who they play.he was awesome in pretty in and pink always makes the movie that much better
From the few movies I have seen him in he should won an Oscar at least 2 decades ago ! They don’t do handsome young men like him who can also can genuinely act. The depth feels so real
I always enjoyed just about everything, I've seen him in.i grew up on some of his films and always thought he had so many dimensions as an actor and very interesting actor as well.
He was one of the best 80's villains. He was also a good 80's hero in a couple flicks, and destroyed all typecasts when he did Stargate. I remember him as such an intimidating nightmare of a person in this movie, and he was way worse in Less Than Zero.
One of the best actors ever to portray jerks you love to hate. Pretty in Pink, Less Than Zero, Mannequin… He made you question why you were so attracted to such a sleazy guy! Because he seemed deeper than the surface. Sexy as hell, but you can’t tell if he’s being sincere or just playing you…. Amazing actor!
if you liked 'the black list' and remember the rather unlikable character James played in Pretty in pink - watch this interview.. One of the coolest dudes. This is why James Spader has become one of my favourite actors.. Hes not about public image or scene, he is a real actor, about acting. ❤
I don't know why, but I'm just now watching The Blacklist. I'm binging this show! His Redington character is amazing. Redington for me is a natural progression of Alan in The Practice and Boston Legal. He's like Alan but way more intense, but still has a bit of that humor.
Best interview of him I've seen. I knew he was in a boardingh school before leaving for acting in NY at 17 but had no idea of the circumstances. Amazing. FYI, he later goes on to loathe Bobbie Wygant.
@@taketheredpill1452 This interview was solid and Spader was terrific... but yeah, some of Wygant's questions feel a bit like tiny pinpricks. Spader evidently got tired of the pinpricking.
People forget he was in “Endless Love” being the overbearing brother of Brook Shields. Tom Cruise also made his debut in that movie with a very small role. Just think Tom Cruise had a scene with Brook Shields. Remember that interview with Matt Lauer on The Today Show about Brook Shields taking meds for depression?
They uploaded the second camera angle footage. They splice both together in editing to cut from the interviewer asking the questions to James answering them for the final cut.
Seems like he knew a lot of Stephs although it wasn't a negative experience for him (lucky he's not a girl lol)! He should have been in Masquerade with Meg Tilly! Seems like so close to his life! He's done a lot of fun roles-- he just got type cast as the Uptight Yuppy at some point, but maybe that's just from growing up in boarding school/wealthy towns. Glad he and McCarthy stayed pals over the years.
Sounds like James Spader was the male version of Andie in real life. Playing a snobby rich kid came from a deep rooted place. He in fact got a chance to feel superior as Steff McKee.
No disrespect to Bobbie but she seemingly NEVER connected with the ppl she interviewed. Like did she ever watch ANY of the films before the interview???
He dismisses Pretty in Pink now, says it was ridiculous. I love 💕 it though, and his character became the stereotypical rich jerk that’s still used today… boarding school, Cape Cod… so he knew how to play the country club set well
he was SO good in that movie! both him and her characters were damaged and they found something in each other. not just the S & M but actual connection.
He was so damn gorgeous..
He still is
Nah, old, bald and chubby now.
@@roxannemoser he's a boss now. I mean he's boss here too but now he really looks like a boss.

Thank you James for staying the same throughout the decades...here in 2024 😍
Me too! 🙌🏼
He’s perfect.
He is.
A very underrated actor.
absolute specimen

That voice. 💕
My God, he's got *such* gorgeous eyes, he's so mesmerizing o.o...
I wouldn't be able to interview I would be blushing to much .😊🤣
I'd have a heart attack lol
James i s such an interesting person! Like Peter O'Toole, I could sit listen to him for hours and hours - gobsmacked and fascinated.
I have loved James Spader in everything he has been in. Between him and Andrew McCarthy I was set in the 80s.
Wow! He was born 2 hours away from where I live! Had no idea he was from Boston! What a nice, well-rounded guy! Great interview! Thank you!
I can't stop smiling at my phone 💖💖💖💖
Ni yo 😆😆😆😆😆
James Spader's voice is just amazing 👏 I love him in the Blacklist ❤👏👏👏
JS “I’m a big blues & reggae fan”
I see you are a man of culture Mr Spader.
He is so incredible
Beautiful!
She asked good, straight-forward questions that elicited informative responses.

He is still the same! I love his voice!

Wow so unbelievably gorgeous 😮❤
He is so ---- 🔥🔥🔥🔥!
He's so handsome

James Spader is a gifted actor and incredibly funny
He played Steph to perfection!
Yes, rather.
What a career ahead!!!!
Gorgeous 😍😍😍
Es el hombre más hermoso e inteligente. Lo amo
Si
God you are so beautiful James
I loved him in Baby Boom as well…..
He plays the perfect Ahole. You cannot love this guy.
I loved his character Steph 😍😍😍😍❤️🔥

He was the bomb in this movie!
I absolutely l💗ve James Spader.

regarding the loathing, just my assessment based on how he treats her in other videos. She would be very passive aggressive and he just didn't play
@@taketheredpill1452 This interview was solid and Spader was terrific... but yeah, some of Wygant's questions feel a bit like tiny pinpricks. Spader evidently got tired of the pinpricking.
@@trysometruth i didnt like how she acts like supporting roles are nothing. you could tell he was tired of that
Good actor.
You cannot put James in a box. He is so multi dimensional and interesting. One captivating individual.
god i love him 😭😭😭
♥️James Spader
Just binged watch the Blacklist on Netflix.
I've got 1 more season 2 go
I LOVE HIM IN StarGATE! HE WAS A TOTTALLY DIFFERENT CHARACTER!
❤❤

This interview is before his voice dropped.
sure was a pretty boy
He was so dreamy.........
00:23 haha the look he gave her
yeah wasnt expecting that haha
He's done well for a high school dropout $$$
$130,000 per episode when it started.
Now $300,000 per episode.
#needthat
0:24 eyes ))
He's very classy isn't he.
O que James tá falando mesmo? Tradução por favor! 😍
Oh my lanta 👁👁 he’s always been Red! 😧 besides the hair, he literally hasn’t changed in 35 years 😍🥰🥰
He fat and bald now. This was filmed years ago.
@@MegKampen
Still sexy though...
@@MegKampen 😂

Spoilers dude
Why is the cameraman zooming in on the interviewer and not the actor
First part did that.
He could play the cowardly nerd in Bad Influence or the scary drug dealer in Zero. I can see why women dig him.
Have you seen the movie Less Than Zero?
@@roxannemoser that's what I meant by "Zero"
As well as gentle and vulnerable in 'The White Palace' and 'Tuff Turf'.
Why on earth was the camera on the woman conducting the interview ?
They uploaded the second camera angle footage. They splice both together in editing to cut from the interviewer asking the questions to James answering them for the final cut.
Seems like he knew a lot of Stephs although it wasn't a negative experience for him (lucky he's not a girl lol)! He should have been in Masquerade with Meg Tilly! Seems like so close to his life!

Glad he and McCarthy stayed pals over the years.
On the second interview the camera guy took James Spader's thoughts on screen time very seriously by just focusing on the interviewer.
Nobody played an arrogant entitled rich kid than James Spader.
Sounds like James Spader was the male version of Andie in real life. Playing a snobby rich kid came from a deep rooted place. He in fact got a chance to feel superior as Steff McKee.
STARGATE IS HIS BEST CHARACTER! HE PLAYS A NERD!
His voice and hair changed
Yeah, that’s called aging...🙄🤦♀️
No disrespect to Bobbie but she seemingly NEVER connected with the ppl she interviewed. Like did she ever watch ANY of the films before the interview???
Could he be any more attractive?
Hmmm.
I don't think anyone would begrudge an actor for portraying an unsympathetic character.
He dismisses Pretty in Pink now, says it was ridiculous. I love 💕 it though, and his character became the stereotypical rich jerk that’s still used today… boarding school, Cape Cod… so he knew how to play the country club set well
저 머리카락을 지켰어야 했는데...
ㅋㅋㅋ금발곱슬거리는거 너무 홀리하네요ㅜㅜ
He just basically said size doesn’t matter, tee hee.
I really do not like Bobbie Wygant’s interview style
No one ever talks about his role in " The SECRETARY".
he was SO good in that movie! both him and her characters were damaged and they found something in each other. not just the S & M but actual connection.
Everybody talks about it.
