Academy Award-winning actor Tommy Lee Jones reacts to the positive reviews of his performances in "No Country for Old Men" and "In the Valley of Elah."
Tommy Lee deserved the Oscar for his performance in 'No Country...' His acting was so quiet and soulful. It wasn't a flashy, quirky performance. The acting here simply demanded your full attention.
With all your respect, the only brilliant person that deserved an Oscar got it, his name is Javier Braden. Tell me something, do you think Tommy or most of the actors in Hollywood could have done the acting that Javier did? I would be money, most can't. Not a whole lots of actors in Hollywood with the caliber of Brandon or Pacino. Even a great actor like Tom Hanks can't do that role.
"When I figured out that I could live anywhere I wanted to, 'in my wisdom' I decided to live at home." Now THAT is the definition of a totally grounded human being. Easy to admire; hard to live up to.
An absolutely great performance. Can't imagine anyone else in this part. Tommy Lee Jones is one of our finest actors. Lonesome Dove and No Country are two of my all time favorites. Tommy Lee Jones is responsible for that. A very intelligent, thoughtful man.
I wouldn't say that. He might be educated and definitely a Great Actor but not a brainer. He said about Jim Carrey once for instance that he is "a comedian, not an actor"... Well, interesting statement after watching Jim's performance in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Man on the Moon or The Truman Show.
I dont know why I didnt expect Tommy to be this well spoken, but god damn is he well spoken. Takes a massive amount of intelligence to concisely answer the fairly tough questions he does
Yeah. It's more like an interrogation at times. Tommy (and others in interviews are clearly about to expand on their initial comments, when the interviewers interrupts and asks the obvious).
This is first time I've really listened to an interview with Tommy Lee Jones and man what a great man . He seems very humble and down to earth. Been in a lot of great movies and given the films taht extra umph it needed.
"Read the screenplay, understand it as well as you can, do your best to find out what the director wants to see and make it possible in every way you can for him to see it". What a powerful description of the mission of a screen actor. Thank you Mr. Jones, I for my part have seen you do it over and over again in many movies. I love the way you remain transparent or non-existent as an actor. I see your character in the story, and not Tommy Lee Jones when I watch you perform in a movie scene. I admire your talent and hard work only after the movie. Thank you really, for the wonderful time you have given me and my beloved company when watching your movies.
not only for actors. as an aspiring cinematographer, that entire sentence you quoted also accurately describes what the mission of a cinematographer is! hell, it describes what all key crew members should do!
Charlie was a great interviewer long ago. But, he began to believe he knew more than he really did. So, he oddly began to interrupt his guests with out-of-touch comments which even made his guests frustrated. You can see it in TLJ’s face. Pure frustration.
A bad interviewer is greedy for screen time, so they go on and on with endless questions that have no substance--just so the camera stays on them. A good interviewer does research on the guest, asks pertinent, smart, concise questions, and then gets out of the way.
I think that if you were to consider this more like a podcast is today It becomes more acceptable. Interviewers like Sean from hot ones specifically ask questions that are going to draw out a long answer that will fill time. Skilled interviewers like Sean also specifically do not interrupt responses. I honestly think that this is more of a conversation than an interview. Now with that being said I would say that it was completely on accident when it is considered that in fact he was attempting to conduct an interview. For that point I agree with you that Charlie simply interrupts his interviewees too much.
Mr. Jones has earned his place as truly one of the very best film actors. There really haven’t been that many at his level of ability. Always a fascinating and incredibly believable performer.
i have liked tommy lee jones since his soap beginnings BUT..... fell in love with him and gus during lonesome dove.... this is the first time i've ever seen him in a sit down.........i like how he speaks. he weighs what he wants to say, and makes sure what he wants to say, is what comes out of his mouth. not an open mouth, spew forth kinda guy......i like him even more AND......nor only is he a fine actor, he's a damn great one too.......
Imagine if people of significant talent and valued bodies of work would even remotely acknowledge comments of the contrary from those with experience of the contrary......
Tommy, he's one of the few who I still like after a interview. I quit watching interviews because once l seen how an actor really is, sometime, I can't watch their movies because I don't like them. But Tommy, Iam fine with. I've lived in Wyoming and I have been around many like Tommy Lee Jones types. Its very refreshing being around people like him. Very mater of fact.
He's in my personal list of the Top 10 Favorite/Best Actors of All Time. Not everybody can, or will, take the time to sit down and watch a TV mini-series.....I get that. But if you've never watched Lonesome Dove....You're missing out not only on one of the greatest cinematic experiences, but also missing Mr Jones' greatest characters/performances.
He is simple sublime.., I can’t not believe every word or breathe he takes… Never seen him in a bad scene… he must be a real character in life as well😂👍
West ( where I live ) and west central Texas (where Tommy is from ) is no place to sell BS. It may well have more soul per population than anywhere in the country. Lives by his own code, not really just a moral and honest local one that's all. Tommy makes us old Texans very proud as you can tell! We see some of the best qualities of ourselves in this man, he provides the rest on his own.
I was obsessed with this man ( in a good way), lol...back in the 1990's. I devoured all of his movies over and over again. Don't ask me how many times I watched "The Fugutive" remake with him and Harrison Ford. All these years later and I still remain in awe of him. A lot of that comes fromthe mystery surrounding him. He's always stayed out of the spotlight and off the of the covers of the tabloids somehow, and I love that about him. The mystery only makes him that much more intriguing to me.
I love TLJ most of all that he is a no nonsense, no bs, & he's just himself who just happens to possess an enormous talent & charm!! Great man, epic Texan!!!
First time I saw Tommy Lee Jones was in Coal Miner's Daughter I haven't seen all of his films but some was impressed with his intensity his demeanor and I'm not surprised that he's going into directing and screenwriting and I definitely am looking forward to seeing No Country for Old Men
TOJ has at least in my simple bind a brilliant way of speaking which makes him so interesting. He is usage of iambic pentameter, his pauses, The way he presents himself with humbleness yet with a side dish of a kick your backside and you’ll know it but he doesn’t say it. It would be an honor to me if someday I could meet him in person but find him wonderful even from afar and enjoy what he does on screen to bring us entertainment at home. I have no idea what he’s like in real life but I have a feeling that he’s just as humble and not a bigot. Thank you for your entertainment on screen for all of us. God bless stay safe and healthy
As a fellow Texan the Sheriff character Mr Jones plays makes perfect sense to me All the elements of the movie are very real today that most people can directly relate to in one form or Another..
Happy Birthday Tommy Lee Jones, and may the Peace Be With U. From Harlingen Texas. September 15, 1946 September 15, 2019 through September 15, 3019 1. Agent K - Men In Black 1, 2, 3 1997 - 2002 - 2012 2. Chip Hazard - Small Soldiers 1998 3. Mike Roark 1997
Again I am thankful that Rose is not on the air, not just for his behavior but that he was so pompous, so in love with his own voice and has such a puffed up ego that he never let his guest answer, never heard what they were saying. Compare that to Off Camera with Sam Jones where he let the guests talk.
I would venture to say Tommy Lee is the most no nonsense actor in Hollywood. His expressions at award shows are priceless. Most of which I agree with when it involves the weak to the point of embarrassing jokes written for presenters.
"Islands in the Stream" has already been made into a movie, starring George C. Scott as "Thomas Hudson," the painter. The book contains some of Hemingway's best writing, in my opinion, especially about family and other human relationships. Edit: Released in 1977.
Tommy Lee Jones is very humble , he’s one of the greatest, gee I am so impressed how he really do not come across as arrogant, the way he talks about Clint Eastwood’s it’s a truly sign of his genius and ways to maintain his ego grounded, so much respect for him .
I think there was a truly philosophically important statement Mr. Jones made about being inured to what we see on TV. That goes for the Internet as well. Really smart man.
A brilliant man, a great actor. I have learned so much and I haven't even finished the video yet. I will watch it again and my next book...NCFOM or Hemenway's last book?
Was there 'ever' a worse interviewer than this guy? In love with his own voice, in love with his -interpretation- of whatever was being discussed, never-ever let a guest complete an answer....
This is one of those rare movie where everyone on the screen is hitting home runs. The woman in the office at the trailer park. The gas station owner. It must be a testament to the skills of the Coen brothers. Another film like this is Sling Blade
Charlie Rose is so insufferable. He asks Tommy a question, and when Tommy answers, Rose says "Exactly." As if Charlie was the teacher giving a test and the audience needs Charlie to verify that Tommy's opinion is correct, because Charlie is the authority on everything. And when Tommy says he knows the author who wrote the book and has read all of his books, Charlie has to immediately say he knew that. Charlie can't subordinate himself to an interview subject, no matter who it is. I'm glad he got what was coming to him.
"islands in the Stream" is a great story. I sure hope Mr. Jones gets the movie made. It was once done one with George C. Scott. It was a profoundly sad movie, but the dialogue was true enough. I read it years ago when I was in the Coast Guard. Time to revisit. Time to go.
At the end. He led him perfectly with his ramblings… I wish he would have asked at the Rene something to the effect of “and what is your reflection on the journey/ or what would you say looking back?”
I'd forgotten how much Charlie Rose irritates me. He pushes his own point and tries to score points with the person he's interviewing, rather than just exploring the subject or the person he's interviewing. I've always found that annoying as hell.
Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Duvall will always be my western cowboy movie Hero’s Lonesome Dove will in my mind will always be the greatest western ever made and they where the two that made it great
Fascinating! It's always an incredible experience to get to hear the man behind the movie talk about himself! Charlie Rose keeps it interesting and engaging! What a time, the fact that the internet allows access to stuff like this reminds me of how I initially felt as a kid first getting access to the internet. The ability to be able to access broadcasts that otherwise would have been lost to time, essentially hidden away in some inaccessible corporate archive. UA-cam is the greatest god damn thing ever lol
Tommy Lee deserved the Oscar for his performance in 'No Country...' His acting was so quiet and soulful. It wasn't a flashy, quirky performance. The acting here simply demanded your full attention.
Agree.
Couldn't agree more. Still one of my favorite actors to this day!
Just the coffee ☕☕☕ was STELLAR
If only he wasn't nominated along with Daniel Day Lewis
With all your respect, the only brilliant person that deserved an Oscar got it, his name is Javier Braden. Tell me something, do you think Tommy or most of the actors in Hollywood could have done the acting that Javier did? I would be money, most can't. Not a whole lots of actors in Hollywood with the caliber of Brandon or Pacino. Even a great actor like Tom Hanks can't do that role.
Jones has a sharp mind and tremendous grasp of his craft. Great talent.
"When I figured out that I could live anywhere I wanted to, 'in my wisdom' I decided to live at home."
Now THAT is the definition of a totally grounded human being. Easy to admire; hard to live up to.
Yes. He is humble yet confident.
San Saba has a lot of soul and so do many of the people that live there up and down the economic scale. A good place to find yourself
Tommy Lee Jones, Gene Hackman, Robert Duvall just some of my faves. Classic gentlemen
Daniel Carrasco they indeed great actors for sure well said
robert de niro too
Dani West the names are Al Pacino, Anthony Hopkins, Michael Caine, and Morgan Freeman
@@teresalinton6401 Dan Lin's Inspector Gadget film film reboot will feature Frank Welker returning to voice Brain and MAD Cat.

The suspense In that movie was unbelievable.
You could literally taste the air, almost smell it , the tension ,, amazing. Just totally amazing
An absolutely great performance. Can't imagine anyone else in this part. Tommy Lee Jones is one of our finest actors. Lonesome Dove and No Country are two of my all time favorites. Tommy Lee Jones is responsible for that. A very intelligent, thoughtful man.
Tommy Lee Jones is so intelligent, it's contagious.
I wouldn't say that. He might be educated and definitely a Great Actor but not a brainer. He said about Jim Carrey once for instance that he is "a comedian, not an actor"... Well, interesting statement after watching Jim's performance in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Man on the Moon or The Truman Show.
If people "caught" smart that would be great.
He went to Harvard and he's a Leo, but his ideology is far from mine..
intelligence seems never to be contagious.
@@istvantoth7431 Didn't he say that before any of those movies, or maybe he hadn't seem them
I dont know why I didnt expect Tommy to be this well spoken, but god damn is he well spoken. Takes a massive amount of intelligence to concisely answer the fairly tough questions he does
Yeah. It's more like an interrogation at times. Tommy (and others in interviews are clearly about to expand on their initial comments, when the interviewers interrupts and asks the obvious).
This guy graduated from Harvard with honors Comes off as simple but he’s very smart
Less is more
My favorite actor.
Texan.....nuf sed.
implying that you have to be intelligent to go to harvard...
VivaMessico yea you have to be pretty ignorant to be an honors Grad from Harvard! 🕋🤔
This is first time I've really listened to an interview with Tommy Lee Jones and man what a great man . He seems very humble and down to earth. Been in a lot of great movies and given the films taht extra umph it needed.

Tommy Lee Jones has a very dominant presence, he speaks so eloquently that people around him are captivated by his charm.
Charlie was a great interviewer long ago. But, he began to believe he knew more than he really did. So, he oddly began to interrupt his guests with out-of-touch comments which even made his guests frustrated. You can see it in TLJ’s face. Pure frustration.
When you see many of his interviews, you feel embarrassed for the guests when you hear Charlie posing what turns out to be a really stupid question.

Nobody loads a question like Charlie Rose. He's the biggest "tell-me-what-I-want-to-hear" interviewer
of all time. Putz.
Thank you, a wonderful, interview!
Imagine if Charlie Rose chose not to speak for one single minute
13:00
Imagine trying to shame an interviewer for talking after he has been a sucess for over 2 decades
Until he literally and figuratively dropped his robe, Charlie had the best gig on television, dispite his inability to get out of the guest's way.
Right? I'm barely 5min in.
Imagine if people of significant talent and valued bodies of work would even remotely acknowledge comments of the contrary from those with experience of the contrary......
The Roles Tommy Lee Jones plays , does him no Justice to who he really and truly is as a human being. A remarkable man . A pleasant unveiling.

No doubt.
Tommy Lee is a great actor, right there with De niro and Al Pacino. He deserves much more credits.
His portrayal of Howard Hughes back in the day is still in a class of its own ... a truly great actor
I've known "Country of old men a long time," and I adore his work with old men forever. First I had crush in a thousand years!
He is simple sublime.., I can’t not believe every word or breathe he takes…
Never seen him in a bad scene… he must be a real character in life as well😂👍
Tommy is known to not suffer fools and you can feel his agita rising thru the interview
They seemed to get along fine

BEEN A BIG FAN OF TOMMY LEE JONES FOR A LONG TIME GREAT ACTOR IN ALL HIS MOVIES !!!!! AND CHARLIE ROSE A VERY GOOD INTERVIEWER !!!!!

All the elements of the movie are very real today that most people can directly relate to in one form or Another..
True, I love this movie
Loved every movie this man made! One of my favorites was his character in Blown Away with Jeff Bridges
best line in Lonesome Dove,after he kicks the shit out of the Army scout,"I hate rude behavior in a Man.I won't tolerate it".
One of the greatest movies of all time. Should have been on the big screen.

Your still one of my favorites, awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖 😎 👌 👏 👍
What a great movie Tommy Lee Jones ...My Dad and I watched it so good!
Brilliant actor, brilliant films. Learn from him..."yes sir."
I love that too!!
Charlie is/was my favorite interviewer. He had the respect of his subjects and was always well researched.
No Country For Old men had a few stellar performances in my opinion.
I think there was a truly philosophically important statement Mr. Jones made about being inured to what we see on TV. That goes for the Internet as well. Really smart man.
A Very Very under Written man of his craft ...and personal Hero of mine ...this Texan..
I watched this movie because of Tommy Lee Jones and I watched it several times because it was a good movie
What a legend 💯
A brilliant man, a great actor. I have learned so much and I haven't even finished the video yet. I will watch it again and my next book...NCFOM or Hemenway's last book?
What an actor !
Great interview by Charlie! He gets the most out of powerful people. Glad he’s back
He was great in Blown Away!
My fav actor!
Was there 'ever' a worse interviewer than this guy? In love with his own voice, in love with his -interpretation- of whatever was being discussed, never-ever let a guest complete an answer....
Many are worse.
No Country for old men,Had me on my toes Tommy Lee Jones. Great movie..
I like how he says yesir at the start. He's so humble.
*Tommy Lee Jones is one amazing man...*
Amazing actor Tommy Lee Jones!🥰
His appreciation for Mr. McCarthy is telling. Greatest American novelist.
Misleading title. The first third is about 'In the Valley of Elah', a largely overlooked film in which Jones also gives an outstanding performance.
This is one of those rare movie where everyone on the screen is hitting home runs. The woman in the office at the trailer park. The gas station owner. It must be a testament to the skills of the Coen brothers. Another film like this is Sling Blade
TLJ. Fantastic, actor, smart man, down to earth and I love him!
Charlie Rose is so insufferable. He asks Tommy a question, and when Tommy answers, Rose says "Exactly." As if Charlie was the teacher giving a test and the audience needs Charlie to verify that Tommy's opinion is correct, because Charlie is the authority on everything. And when Tommy says he knows the author who wrote the book and has read all of his books, Charlie has to immediately say he knew that. Charlie can't subordinate himself to an interview subject, no matter who it is. I'm glad he got what was coming to him.
I think Tommy just let's him go, no point correcting him.
Rose is a NWO toady and suck-up to his interviewees.
I don't think he adds one thing to his interviews except boredom.
I think it's so funny to see someone else take notice of the EXACT two things that stuck out to me as I watched this
Well, I'm not a big fan of Rose either...
well he was a king in his own world. glad he finally got outed.
"islands in the Stream" is a great story. I sure hope Mr. Jones gets the movie made. It was once done one with George C. Scott. It was a profoundly sad movie, but the dialogue was true enough. I read it years ago when I was in the Coast Guard. Time to revisit. Time to go.
When in the film does his character express "Blind Patriotism"? I've seen it a few times and read the book and I don't recall anything like that.
Wonderful actor.
At the end. He led him perfectly with his ramblings… I wish he would have asked at the Rene something to the effect of “and what is your reflection on the journey/ or what would you say looking back?”
Jones is referring to his character in "The Valley of Elah" as a bigot not "No Country For Old Men"
He was referring to the sheriff in "No Country For Old Men"
Ahh ..... wrong Max
@@Maxantium No he was not.
I've read the book several times, and I don't see it. The sheriff is a man for his time and place. The film is true to the book.

Remembered him in
Soap operas where he
got his start"
Played Howard Hughes
In a TV movie,did a
Terrific job in my book!
Love his humbleness. A consummate actor!

I'd forgotten how much Charlie Rose irritates me. He pushes his own point and tries to score points with the person he's interviewing, rather than just exploring the subject or the person he's interviewing. I've always found that annoying as hell.
Yeah, I agree! I can’t stand him. It’s a shame because he does get these awesome people on to discuss some of my favourite films.
Like Oprah 😂
Always cutting people off and not letting them complete the sentence. Lol
couldn't agree more he is awful. cuts people
off, asks ridiculous open ended questions, and is incredibly awkward overall
Open-ended questions are what the audience and actors want...
Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Duvall will always be my western cowboy movie Hero’s Lonesome Dove will in my mind will always be the greatest western ever made and they where the two that made it great
Tommy Lee is my favorite actor.
I just watched No Country for Old Men for the first time last week. Ironic that the “El Paso” scene was shot in Albuquerque!
Respect sir
I didn't think there could be a boring interview with Tommy Lee Jones, but Charlie Rose pulled it off.
I should have known.
I'm not surprised at all. Charlie Rose is just a more Politically Correct and Polished version of Tom Snyder ...
Boring? TLJ is a horrible interview most of the time. He was engaged and gave good responses about his craft. What did you expect?
Oh Lord....that Texas drawl! 😍
Which is just fine...
Nice to hear an inteligent person like

Legendary actor
I love Tommy Lee Jones.
I have watched the 1977 production of "Islands in the Stream" with George C Scott, he was great in it. Surely Tommy Lee Jones must know of it.
