manchester by the sea, iconic acting

For me, his acting in Manchester by the Sea is the best performance of an actor so far!

His police station scene in 'Manchester by the Sea' is some of the greatest acting ever in a film.

Casey Affleck is known to be a dramatic actor but he is such an underrated comedic actor like his performance in Tower Heist is so funny and yet so subtle. I hope he stars in more comedies but what would be fantastic is if he starred in a David O Russell film.

Amazing actor. His role as Robert Ford was probably one of his best performances.

'A Ghost Story' had me in tears for days and stuck with me for weeks. Even his brief performance on Interstellar, especially the video recording scene was breathtaking.

0:21 Gerry 2:14 The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford 5:40 Gone Baby Gone 7:30 Ain’t Them Bodies Saints 8:55 Out of the Furnace 10:38 Manchester By The Sea 13:14 A Ghost Story 14:44 Light of My Life 18:52 The Old Man and the Gun 21:05 Our Friend 25:23 The World to Come Surprised he didn’t talk about the Ocean’s movies and his memorable camaraderie with Scott Caan!

my boy wicked smaahht

Assassination of Jesse James... may be the best underrated movie of modern times. its what I always use as an example of when a film is really "art".

I never really took him seriously as an actor until I watched The Assassination of Jesse James. What a quietly powerful and poignant performance, he totally blew me away. It also helps that the movie is a stone-cold masterpiece.

My favourite actor... Assassination of Jesse James, Gone baby Gone, Manchester by the Sea, Oldman with a Gun... What an actor❤️

“Ben Affleck’s Brother” is how my mom and I used to classify Casey Affleck. Now it is more like “Casey Affleck’s brother” to describe Ben Affleck. No offense, it is just Casey has become so phenomenal.

11:18 (Casey saying that he didnt add anything to the script) Im pretty sure the devastating "Please" in that Poloce station scene was not in the script, Manchester by the Sea. Casey is a fantastic artist in General, producer, Director, Actor, writer. "Light of my life" I highly recommend to any Casey Affleck fans out there.

Bummed the Ocean's movies and Interstellar aren't on here

His best character is the Dunkin Guy.... Go back to staaabucks!!!

I love his role in the movie assasination of jesse james

He’s incredibly intelligent, thoughtful and well spoken.

One of my favorite actors. Love his toned down, realistic way of acting.

The Assassination of Jesse James is a really underappreciated movie. I already thought it had unimaginable depth even before Casey gave his take on it.

He always picks such amazing, soulful movies. That scene with him and Michelle Williams just talking is just a small masterpiece. And The World to Come is my favourite movie of 2021, hands down!

Assassination of JJ is an incredible film, wish it was more recognized

I forgot all about "Ain't Them Bodies Saints". I cried like a baby at the end of that one.

For my money Casey Affleck is the most consistently brilliant actor of his generation. I think over a longer period he will be viewed as one of the best in cinema. I think in a world saturated with celebrity and vapid talk so often associated with his industry, he always has something of substance to say and thinks before he speaks

I love listening to intelligent people. Casey Affleck is a very thoughtful actor, genuine guy and extremely talented. Always strikes me as minimalist actor, understated and fascinating to watch because of that.

The Assassination of Jesse James is an incredible film and one of my favorite acting performances by both Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck. I always recommend it to people who are looking for something to watch.

His portrayal of Robert Ford is spectacular and criminally underrated

He is very enigmatic and charismatic. Love the rawness.

No mention of Dunkin' Donuts?!

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Robert Ford is just... Perfect. Love Casey!

He seems like a really down to earth guy. Great actor as well.

a seriously underrated actor

One of the most realistic movies ever

“You’ve gone nose deaf”. “Pack your things!” Love his character in the oceans’s series “who you calling ‘friend’ jackass!”

Great Interview. Casey Affleck is SO SMART! His performances are always something memorable and truly special. The Affleck brothers are just so talented. I think Manchester By The Sea will forever be one of the Best most profound films I have ever seen. It felt like someone had shown a flashlight into the dark grieving of my Soul ever since I lost my Mom and just a ton of trauma I was dealing with. That movie hit me so hard. I felt like it was just so personal. I can't believe somebody did that to Mr. Affleck at the premiere. Yuck! Man with a Gun was Special too! Something to be proud of with the last movie for L E G E N D Robert Redford. The scene where RR is riding a horse in the field--Just Wow!!!-like a Masterpiece Painting. Our Friend---Cathartic and Spectacular! Now that I have Cancer too😪, I wish I had those kinds of friends...but you do what you can. I truly feel that movie. It meant a Lot to me. Dakota DID do a great job. Heartbreaking-Tragic-REAL! Love to Dakota 🙏🌺💖 If I ever met Casey Affleck I would: A. Run away. Because he's just way too cool 😎 B. I would need a giant bag or prop to hide my face and body. Maybe just become invisible. C. I would not be able to speak. Not normally anyway 😂 Brightest Blessings to Casey Affleck 🙏😎💖🌌🌠 Brave Onward Casey!

I wish he would talk about Drowning Mona. I love this movie apparently people hated it? So underrated.

Favorite actor ever. Always so special and compelling on the screen.

Loved him in To Die For and Good Will Hunting. No one plays those working class guys like he does. Dunkin’ Donuts guy is also amazing.

Where's Good Will Hunting? Ocean's Trilogy? ParaNorman? Interstellar?

While possibly not his most known role, I loved his role in interstellar as well. Surprised that they didn't mention it. While he wasn't the main focus, I loved his acting throughout the film.

Casey's performance in Jesse James was one of the greatest acting feats of modern times. For me, it cemented Casey as one of the best actors in the world. Combined with a beautifully written story, breathtaking cinematography and perfect soundtrack, it has to be one of the greatest films ever made. Very underrated in my opinion.

Manchester by the sea, the best performance in history of cinema. Period.

I'm such a huge fan of Light of my life with the soundtrack being a real highlight.

I hope the Dunkin guy is in there

When CA played Morgan in Good Will Hunting, I read somewhere that he was allowed to ad-lib most of his lines. If you rewatch that film, you can get a sense of how funny and talented he is!

Out of the furnace got me. Really legendary cast, can't believe it kinda slipped through the cracks.

Casey as Robert Ford is one of the Top 5 acting performances I've ever seen, maybe even number 1. I want Casey to be leading more films

Hey GQ, please do a Anthony Hopkins most iconic characters video as soon as possible. The fans deserve one.

Fantastic actor, love his energy. Reminds me of Roy Scheider a lot. Incredibly beautiful blue eyes as well.

Brad Pitt is also fantastic in The Assassination of Jesse James. Amazing and overlooked film all around.

Just watched Our Friend and it’s amazing!

Power Raking: Manchester By the Sea > Out of the Furnace > Jesse James

he is more talented than his brother

I think of Casey Affleck as Kevin Myers Brother in American Pie 1 and 2, remember him in those movies?

Casey Affleck is a phenomenal actor, ever since I saw his performance as Robert Ford opposite Brad Pitt and even though I feel Pitt as Jesse James is a top 3 role for Pitt in his career, he still was outshone by the relative newcomer in Casey Affleck and it’s been nothing but uphill for him ever since as far as his acting chops go, culminating in his masterful performance in Manchester By the Sea which for me is a top 5 acting performance of this past decade (2010’s)

I tell you what, he is good looking lad. And you can tell he is a proper actor. I haven't watched much of his films, but Manchester by the Sea was just amazing. Shame he couldn't enjoy watching it though!

I love his voice and he always acts cool and calm !

Gone Baby Gone is perfect. Perfect.

"So i did watch the movie but i had that happening" lmfaoooo like lady back up out of my face ! He seems like he's really down to earth and really funny.

I'm so glad Light of my life is talked about here. I loved every bit about his character in the movie.

"Gerry" is a beautiful movie. Works like a play.

LOVE Casey Affleck! One of my favorites, after Christian Bale.

What about Lonesome Jim, Casey's first leading role? He never talks about it, wonder why. I like this movie.

One of my favorite actors! ❤

Manchester By the Sea is my favorite, hands down. Dunkin' Donuts SNL is a solid 2nd.

The coward Robert Ford ..that was his best role ever

he is one of the most talented actors ever. dude, manchester by the sea kills me everytime.

Very seldom in cinema do you get an accurate portrayal of a man, as you do in Manchester by the sea. It was a 3d version of a man as you can get. Brilliant cinema.

One of my all time favorite actors!!

gone baby gone is one of the best and most thought provoking movies I have ever seen!.... a brilliant movie!

I always thought he was a great actor. His preference in Manchester by the sea is absolutely masterful.

There a scene in Manchester by sea where he conveys abt how he can never change or become better is the best piece of acting i have seen

One of the best actors

That was terrific but that glass shelf in the background was stressing me out the entire time.

We are the same age He’s the most real actor today Any time he shows up He could bring something out special Always believable

Love absolutely love Manchester by the Sea and Ghost Story incredible performances and writing

They NEED to do another movie like gone baby gone. That was my favorite film for years and the movie is based on a novel which does have a sequel 👍

I really, really liked Manchester by the Sea - it was a really unexpected gem to stumble across.

Love this guy-one of my favorite actors.

@7.17 Is anyone else going to join me in asking for another movie where Casey gets to play Patrick Kenzie...it'd be so awesome 7.17 he's keen.....if enough people ask for it I think it could happen....loved that movie, loved him in it...can't see anyone else...perfect mix of heart and fire he's so subtle and yet so powerful....in my top five fav actors of all time

i died when he told that story about that person looking at him while watching manchester by the sea lol

I never realized how effortlessly funny he is!

Casey Affleck, I admire you so much!!! You're so talented!!

Even though he has an Oscar, i still think he’s one of the most underrated actors ever

One of my favorite actors in contemporary movies.

A sequel to Gone Baby Gone with both Afflecks returning would be so dope!

Peace and love to all who read this comment. 💕

Idk how Gone Baby Gone could be any better. I love that movie

My God this man is beautiful

Casey is always so humble and lifting up the talents and positive qualities of all the people he works with. I don't think he even really knows how brilliant of an actor he is himself.

The man is everything smart talented great voice and great appeal.

Thought that was a picture of Mike Ehrmentraut behind him😂

shoutsout House of Leaves! chillin on the shelf.

Love this man

He really deserved and Oscar for his portrayal of Robert Ford. Easily one of my top three favorite films. Perfect film.

Manchester by the sea is one of the best movies I have ever seen

Robert Ford is the role he was born to play

I love this dude,speaks of acting in such a unpretentious way

The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford is an underrated masterpiece.

I think his performance in Jesse James was incredible Manchester just sealed the deal on his skill

7:15. , yes please, hope a studio executive is watching. 😁
