This man is so underrated it hurts.

Christopher Nolan needs to cast him in more of his recent films. This guy is a gem.

He seems so down-to-earth and easy to talk to. Talented as well.

"Australia. It's surrounded by water. Wet water. Really great water. Also sharks. Not just White Sharks, but *Great* White Sharks. The best, believe me,"

At the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival, he was pacing back and forth between the inside of the theatre and the hallway, having a clearly important conversation on his flip phone. Because of my job, I was required to open the door for him each time he passed by, which was like 30 times. He thanked me 30 times for opening the door in the span of 5 minutes. A real gentleman.

One of the most talented and underrated actors around. Wish he'd be cast in more films. He just oozes charisma and intelligence.

Had the pleasure of meeting Guy Pearce whilst doing security for one of his Movies. He was the nicest guy and he stopped and talked with us during a break in filming. He even sat with us in the catering tent whilst having lunch. Could not have more respect for him and he is one of Australias best actors and exports. He was brilliant in the remake of the 'Time Machine"

I don’t care where he was born. He’s an Aussie. He’s a great actor and a lovely bloke.

"LA Confidential" was my first introduction to Guy Pearce and Russell Crowe...damn good movie 🍿 too

Just looking at Guy's calm demeanor calms me. What a guy!

Guy Pearce is a fantastic actor!

Seriously 5 minutes for such an awesome actor...Guy Pearce has been in the business for 30 yrs....show some respect...8 minutes at least...😝😝

Guy Pearce -- still a hottie after all these years.

I always liked this guys face. It’s so symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing

He played Fernand in ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’ perfectly!! One of my fave movies.

Next time mr Colbert please make more time for Guy Pearce! He's such an awesome actor and human being.

My favorite bit of Aussie slang came in the classic gay film "The Sum of Us" starring Russell Crowe. At the beginning of the film, Crowe stumbles into his father's house, out-of-breath from a jog. He collapses onto the couch and shouts out, "I'm rooted!"...which apparently means "fucked." LOL. Perhaps it means "tired" too?

In a world of great Aussie actors, he is one of the best. Guy has simply been working on his craft for decades and being wonderful at it.

I first saw him in L.A. Confidential, and he was absolutely amazing! And, of course, he was phenomenal in Memento.

We had to come up with “fair dinkum” because “true” or “for real” aren’t powerful enough to overcome the Australian tradition of pulling your leg.

Mentioning Priscilla alone deserves a thumbs up. Best Aussie film of the 90s, such a delight

I chatted to Guy Pearce for a while a few years ago, and he is a nice, normal guy. Look up 'Jack Irish', based on Peter Temple's books, if you want some of his high quality bread-and-butter acting.

He’s actually a really cool nice guy I’ve never seen an interview with him before but I love the films he’s in

He is a very underrated and very talented actor.

He's excellent in Memento, one of my favorite films of all time!

Priscilla, LA Confidential, Memento... he's not the best known Australian actor, but he's probably been in the best films. Actually, Russel Crowe was also in LA Confidential... and Romper Stomper, that was good too.

Underrated like Eric Bana.

Fair Dinkum basically means genuine or true.

I'm married to an Aussie and moved to Sydney end of 2017. Love the Aussie accent. And Sydney is beautiful!

Love Guy Pearce, great actor, funny man.

Absolutely been a major fan of this guy since The Count of Monte Cristo, So many incredible times in my household growing up watching that movie so many times with family. Thank you for the memories Guy Peirce!

i just watched him in the time machine again last night, enjoyed it

I live in Melbourne Australia so Guy's a local & only just discovered him in Jack Irish (while in lockdown) & he's so good in it.

Australian Slang - Fair Dinkum means "honestly" The BEST Aussie slang he missed is "No Wuckers" Etymology "No F*^%ing Worries" becomes "No Wucking Forries" which is then shortened to "No Wuckers" Dinkum! And if you want a great Aussie film to watch, try "The Proposition"

"Fair-dinkum" is contextual but the closest analog (IMO) would be like saying "for-real" ambiguously, both as question and statement.

"Death in Brunswick" is just so Fairdinkum. Guy Pearce in Australian movies is a Treasure for Australians to watch. He's so Aussie, and it's wonderful to watch his effortless performance in these movies. Let's hope we don't lose him to Hollywood, cos Australian movies are to be loved worldwide too. How does Guy Pearce look so good? Just saw him in 60minutes interview, and he's so young looking. Australia really needs to retain such awesome talent, without losing them to America. We need more respect for our Aussie talent here. Let's get our own Hollywood and make it Aussiewood!

He is so charismatic. He pulled off that short sleeved shirt with such elegance.

On ya Guy! Making Australians proud!!

Fair dinkum.... If you’re asking about the story it means “Are you telling me the truth?” If you’re telling the story it means “This is 100% true!”

First saw him in "The Count of Monte Cristo" when I was a kid. He's phenomenal in the Jack Irish series!

That was a good interview

As an Aussie, I can testify that Australian sang is a language of its own. And we use it a hell of a lot, too!

It’s true as ‘fair dinkum’ is hard to explain to non-Aussies as it’s all in the ‘tone’ of how you use the word. It’s the same as saying ‘really’ to someone, you’re questioning if what the person is saying is true nor not! Hope that helps!

I was enjoying this interview and then he said 'we will be right back with a performance by Mac Miller' and my heart sank.

I feel happy seeing Guy mentioning Eric Bana as Chopper, such underrated filme such as him.

Guy lived at the end of my street when I was a kid.... He's come a long way since Mike on Neighbours.

Funny enough, I saw his movie today with Liam Neeson called ' Memory' and his performance is simply outstanding !

Greetings from Melbourne...Guy is a top bloke who makes us proud

He's aging beautifully.

Short interview but very nice. Great guy Guy...

I love this guy. So much talent and the sweetest personality imaginable for such a high-profile actor.

I have liked Guy Pearce since he was in the Australian series Man From Snowy River. He was the son of a rancher.

He's such a fit daddy

I've always thought Guy Pearce deserved way more success than he got. He's had a great career, but I feel like he should have been a huge star but it just never quite happened for some reason.

The Proposition and Rover are my favorite Pearce films. Amazing actor.

he was unbelievable in breathe in! it is such an incredible film and very few people have seen it , it deserves more attention!

Memento was incredible. Pearce killed it. Love a good Aussie actor. Been watching more of Bana recently, we really do have some damn good talent.

One of the best people on the planet.

That was a pretty low keyed/short interview for such a talented actor! Memento is one of my all time favourite movies...soooo good!

Guy played that really bad guy in Iron Man 3. He was pretty damn good in that!

Australians like to use 'heaps' to mean a lot. How was the sale? There were heaps of people.

Loved that movie where his character has trouble remembering things. Forgot what it was called.

I know him first from an Aussie tv show called Neighbours back here in Melbourne in the 80s. That tv show is still on the air too

Years ago when I was a film projectionist I screened "Memento". Back in those days films were delivered to cinemas on 2000 foot spools, and most cinemas would "make them up" into either a pair of 6000 foot spools or run the entire print from a platter in one continuous loop. It goes without saying it was of paramount importance that the films be made up with the spools in the correct order. The first time I screened Memento there was a bit of a panic because the of the way that film runs - the story is running from end to beginning, and some events are out of order. I was reasonably certain I'd somehow put it together wrong even though it was a new print and the spools were clearly labelled. The owner of the cinema ended up having a conversation with the distributors about notifying the projection staff when something like that happens, to prevent any alarm. Of course we soon figured out that it was supposed to be like that and all was well we spread the word to the other cinemas and everyone knew to look out for that. Ask any old projectionist about Memento and get ready for a story of exasperation. I joked with owner of the cinema about possibly pulling it apart and putting it back together so the story ran from beginning to end, in an attempt to alleviate some of the confusion our patrons seemed to be experiencing when coming out after a screening. We never did it, but it sure would have made that a less confusing film. Little did we know that being confused would turn out to be a thing with Christopher Nolan's films. Lol.

The Proposition is among the best Westerns ever made.

Watch THE ROVER for anyone who hasn't seen it. Guy is an incredible actor!

The Proposition is still one of my fav films. fantastic, cast.

Delightful conversation

It's good that he asked him about Australian sayings. American TV hosts never ask Australian celebrities about that every time they're on their show.

Love the man. His humor is as dry as a dead dingo’s donger.

Fairdinkum has many meanings according to the purpose one is using the word for. And the purpose one is using it for is communicated by how one says it and the facial expression one uses when saying it. It’s my favourite word.

I think he's great in Jack Irish.

fair dinkum isnt reallt translatable, you just have to get it

Yes Yes Yes! I love Guy Pearce!

Memento is one of my all time favourite movies. Great actor!

I have to tell you, I was on the fence about his new show, but his riveting description convinced me!

Russell Crowe was phenomenal in Romper Stomper. But not to many remember him in the film “The Sum of Us” which came out a year later; where he plays a young gay, rugby playing plumber, who lives with his very loving and supportive father, played by the legendary veteran Australian actor, Jack Thompson. His portrayal in Romper Stomper was amazing, but his role in The Sum of Us is Underlooked and underrated, at least here in the U.S. I really liked his portrayal in this film, a tough and complexed, yet sensitive, vulnerable, supportive, loving and compassionate character. It is definitely one of my favorite Australian films from the early/ mid 90’s, one of my most favorite movies in general.Priscilla Queen of the desert is also great film, Guy Pearce was superb in his performance in this film. And Both Russell Crowe and Guy Pearce were outstanding in their performances In the 1997 film, L.A. Confidential, and it was one the earlier films where Australian actors were playing American leads in Hollywood. At least in a more mainstream way.

The Australian accent is difficult for Australians as well. Whenever I hear an Aussie on American TV it sounds exaggerated. I'm Australian by the way.

Going for Priscilla in theater tonight. Love both Guy and Hugo Weaving.

Guy is a national treasure

Jack Irish, once of the best Aussie shows in decades

I was today years old when I found out Guy Pearce was Australian His American accent is so good!

He was in a few GREAT movies I've enjoyed my whole life!

Guy Pearce is the the one famous Aussie were all proud of.

First saw him Priscilla... 😍

I love him. Such a national treasure :D

Love him always.🥰

I heard Fair dinkum was said by the early Dutch in Australia, they would have some type of drinking games with the local Aussies. The Dutch wanted to keep the drinks fair, beer for beer & whisky for whisky, so they would say Fair Drinking but with an accent it sounded like fair dinkum. It just stuck.

Guy looks gorgeous with beard, glasses and greying hair

Guy Pierce kinda has a Gary Oldham thing going on, but he'll yeah he is awesome. My favorite role of his is Count Montego in the Count of Monte Cristo

Henry Winkler in the 1980's had his own Production Company his company was called Fair Dinkum Productions. He chose the name in a nod to Australia, where "fair dinkum" is a common Australian term suggesting a person or thing is "direct," "honest," "fair," or "authentic".

I love this guy, Guy!

Absolute fan of Guy Pearce, if you didn't watch The Rover, go for it, he is incredible at showing emotions, then any movie with him!

Jack Irish, great character, great show, great look around the real Melbourne.

What a cool guy.

It doesn't get much better than Guy Pearce as Ed Exley in L.A. Confidential.

He’s my favorite actor

Hey Guy. You are a fabulous expression of life that is laid back and peculiar for us Aussies lol - love your work - always - from Adelaide (a city that is much more than the city of churches we like to peddle to keep out the riff raff lol. You are absolutely right about the multi layered reality of fair dinkum. Looking forward to checking out the show xx

He's so funny and relaxed . ❤❤❤❤

Big water! You dinks! Lol
