Mark strong is an underrated actor. Literally great in everything he's in

Mark Strong....a woefully under appreciated star, an absolutely class act.

He didn´t get much screentime, but Mark Strong was magnetic in Tinker, Tailor...

mark's voice, omg..

I love how the camera zooms dramatically on Gary when he reminisces about his first time in America, like he's gonna say something really sentimental, and he says "I was in a bar and there was a drink there called Knob Creek", LMAO

This film was just incredible, in particular the acting and sound design. I think I've watched it 10 times by now and I can't think of a single weak point or sore spot in the entire movie. It was a delicious slow burn littered with pearls and diamonds all throughout the film.

2 brilliant actors. Mark is good, I do like watching him in movies and I think he's definitely underrated.

A Masterpiece .... stupendous film.

This film is a masterpiece and is the British equivalent in terms of the cast of true all-stars that Glengarry Glen Ross was. Oldman was robbed of an Oscar for this movie.

Mark Strong was so great in that Robin Hood movie, and that last scene he was in always stuck in my mind, he was in shock, bu then like a knowing what just happened, acknowledgement and acceptance that he was bettered and dying in a way he expected and kind of 'hats off' to Hood, all in one motion and expression. Probably the best death scene in any movie as it's so brutal and quick yet outstanding.

I love the respect these two give to each other throughout the interview-thoughtful, caring, and free of ego. Nice change of pace!

Mark strong would make a great James Bond.

Gary Oldman is amazing, so glad to see him in a lead role again - one of the greatest actors ever.

I've always loved Mark Strong's characters, but I didn't realize what a VOICE he's got. Wow!

Strong is a perfectly nice guy, but you can see from his look (and voice) why he plays villains. If you can go bald that young and still look cool, that’s pretty badass.

The first time in twenty odd years, was going to see Tinker Taylor at the movies, and well how fantastic it was, nailed the characters, the atmosphere of the plot, and of the times. A master class in movie making.

Mark and Gary get on well. Two actors that respect each other and their bodies of work. Awesomeness on that couch right there. Mark Strong is unbelievable. And Gary Oldeman is the chameleon of the cinemas. They're more talking to each other than the interviewer. I ate this up.

Probably one of the best spy films ever. To be honest I had to watch the film twice to fully understand all that was happening.

Mark Strong is my favorite actor ever

These guys make me proud to be English. Amazing, thoughtful people. Great video

Bravo to Gary Oldman and Mark Strong for persevering with the outstanding idiocy and banality of the interviewers questioning. The creativity of Oldman and the I'm keeping my mouth shut in case I say something I'll regret from Strong is a joy to behold.

Mark looked very impressed that Gary knew he had a part in Inspector Morris

Mark and Gary. Simply one of my favorite movies, ever!

Two masters of their crafts.

13:10- 13:38 Mark seems like he got a bit giddy about Gary remembering his first role. That is very sweet. Great actors, both of them.

If you've missed this one check it out and thank me later. One of the most interesting and well knitted films I've ever since. The grand finale leaves you stunned, dabbing a tear.

I love le carre and that bbc production (Guiness) was without equal. Then the remake was, impossibly, just as good. Love those guys! Wish everything was on that peak level. So funny, that collision between American interviewer and these two Hitchhikers of the Galaxy. A gift!

Gary Oldman is extremely gracious throughout and truly a fellow thespian to the younger Mark Strong.

Fantastic actors, great to see them together.

5:02 You played to the next generation who never saw the original movie! You reached them!!!! Thanks!

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is the perfect movie! Perfect cast, Perfect music! Everything is Perfect! I can watch it endlessly! Thank You!!!

Movies that DEMAND your ability to pay attention and use your intelligence are so rare, that they allow a movie like this to shine like a beacon. And Gary Oldman is at the top of the list for talent, charisma and intelligence. Great movie, great interview.

I am proud to say I have never read or seen a Potter POS! So, Mark Strong, don't feel bad. I never imagined a LeCarré could be made better than Sir Alec....until this movie.

When Gary smiles and laughs he looks like David Bowie.

Gary is so modest and so kind as well, tender voice, amazing actor :)

Two of our all time greats.... especially mark.....

I love how you can sense the love of their craft. So inspiring!

Oldman's an English-language treasure who casts a long shadow on our contemporary cinema. But the only actor on par with the cast of the 1980 BBC production is Mark Strong.. Surprisingly weak was the Oscar winner who plays Karla's mole and the Strong character's best friend since Cambridge days.

This is one of the best acting interviews I've ever seen

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is brilliant!!! just brilliant!!! A brilliant piece of work do see, its a slow burner but its Brilliant.

This is a really good interview. No cheap questions.

This was a excellent interview. Had a few laughs along side them 😊

The two best actors from the movie IMO. Well Gary is the lead and always great in everything he does but Mark was a real standout as Prideaux. He has such a depth in his acting, shouldn't be wasted in cliche villain roles

Couple of pals, quite refreshing to see

What's life without a little risk? - Sirius Black

what a great duo for an interview ... this movie was a masterpiece and that had a lot to do with their perforamnces...

Gary Oldman, one of my absolute favorite actores. Anthony Hopkins and Johnny Depp complete my holly(wood) trinity😊❤

Two of my favorite actors! These guys are amazing!!! Very under rated, lacking recognition though.. nevertheless their brilliance shows in every rol they play...

Have had and continue to have a Big crush on Mark Strong - both are brilliant actors

Dude, Gary Oldman is the shit. I want to be on record for that.

To make a movie of an iconic BBC TV series was such a challenge, well met. Gary Oldman portraited such a brilliant Smiley in the movie. To develop characters in a movie already done in a BBC telie series, priceless.

Great interview. Nice to hear the guys just "chat". And they sound and look so relaxed here that you get more out of it rather than the question and answer interview style. Refreshing.

"Knob Creek.. Something that happens to you when you get older"

I LOVE these men! What a treat seeing them interviewed together.

susiekurs Sorry I didnt see this sooner. Bloody marvellous.

Gary: they had a drink called "nob creak" ... just killed me

Mark has the best bald look! What a fantastic actor.

Brilliant stuff.....I like how the interviewer just lets them talk and get into discussion with each other.

Two of the most impressive people on the planet

Both very strong acting talents with wide ranges of characters that they both bring off as absolutely believable. Also they are seemingly gentle, unassuming, largely amiable blokes who'd be great fun to sit with and have a few Pints

It is a credit to the actors that they made an entertaining movie in the face of such a successful series. I like the movie a because of the acting, and it is a great story, especially because it's based on real events.

I thought Gary was brilliant in TTSS when I watched it a few years ago. Then I watched Smiley and Smiley's People recently and I can understand why he hesitated - Sir Alec Guinness was super brilliant in the role.However, tv allows you to make a stronger establishment. And Gary's right - the new fans only remember your most recent work as with Guinness as Obi Wan Kenobi - they don't know him as Smiley or his earlier work.

GO legendary OG of course. Mark Strong ain't no pushover either.

This interviewer is excellent

I love how Gary Oldman will impersonate other directors and actors when talking about them.

strong is such sweetheart

I remember Ian Richardson having to do Doctor Bell to offset the great job he did as a villain in House of Cards.

Two of tje best Actors that have ever lived, both completely different , but both incredible .. The Best ..

Great content. I'm kinda doing a le Carre deep dive tonight. Sure I'm not alone . RIP JLC.

very fine interviewer, very good questions I thought, for once

OMG, Gary's so damn adorable when he laughs. *sighs*

If you've never seen Mark Strong in the American detective series "Low Winter Sun" check it out--he will blow you away. So, too, will Lennie James.

Gary is amazing 💙

They are just lovely

Why are people always hating on the interviewers? He may sound like a fourth grader but I think he asks relevant questions throughout.

Oldman has played: Soccer hooligan Dracula Churchill Oswald Plus so many other roles. How versatile!

Love Mark veryyyyyyy much, good actor!!!

"DRESSING UP AS KINGS AND QUEENS, AND PRANCING AROUND!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The only downside for me in their TTSS remake was it was too short. There were jumps in logic that were derived too quickly considering the subterfuge involved. Still, a great film and brilliantly executed.

Mark Strong is a fantastic actor. Whenever i see him in a role im spellbound.

THAT WAS 11 YEARS AGO! OMG!

I think that Gary Oldman is one of the best actor in the world. I was about thirteen or fourteen when I saw him in Air Force One as a Russian Villain so I laugh a little about Tinker. Because I can say that I see him as playing a great Villain with John Le Carrie.

I think that it is very difficult to visualize the Le Carre's novels. Whoever read the novel of TTSS, we have had the personal images about the characters. Before I watched this movie, I had not imagined neither G.Oldman as "Smiley" nor M.Strong as "Prideux". I watched this movie again & again. I understand they did their best. I thank their great efforts. I love this movie.

"Prancing around like Kings and Queens..." Gary Oldman is great! He should've received the Oscar. Love these two actors.

Mark Strong : I love the aspect of transformation and dressing up, But its better when your more under the radar because you can get away with that. If you get little better known or people visually recognise you more, then suddenly what you do to yourself becomes more obvious and you cant sneak in and surprise people so much. Gary Oldman : Hold my drink (Goes and plays Winston Churchill in the Darkest our and absolutely nails it so much so wins an Oscar for his role)

Mark Strong was fucking awesome in Guy Ritchie's Revolver. The film is shite but he's ace as a hitman

To me Mark is forever Archie!

2 magnificent actors. I enjoyed Low Winter Sun with Mark Strong. Too bad it was canceled.

Adding to the subject...Mark Strong would be a great Bond villain..

great job gents, excellent movie!

Re-watched this and laughed again at all the stupid references to England's strange names. Lived there for five years in the late nineties and enjoyed getting to know all the slang names for things. These two are such great actors. When will Mark Strong be a Bond villain?

As Mark says he’s played so many villain roles. As I hadn’t read the books prior to watching Tinker Tailor, my immediate thought was that he was the villain again!

awesome interview

Hoorah! I live in Much Hadham!

Gary oldman is such a nice bloke. Although I never had to direct him so

This was an amazing movie

I saw Gary Oldman play Beethoven in a movie called" Immortal Beloved" I thought he was great then and he has not had a bad role since in my opinion, Mark Strong played a man named "Hanie Pasha" in "Body of Lies" with Leo Decapreo and Russell Crowe great cast very underrated movie, anyway the guy seemed like he was in everything there for a while. I mean I was like this guy is in every movie, he had so many credits there for a time I was like where does he get the time. Here this is a truly great movie and cast I must see the first one I here it is very good as well. Mark Strong what is his nationality.

This is just great

Loved both the tv show and the movie, think I'm one of the few..

@InfinityGoRound I konw what you mean! I saw the movie and Mark's performance was just stunning! He's a real good actor!
