@@jigglypuff5125 Inside I'm Dancing / Rory O'Shea Was Here is one of his most underrated movies and performances, he was so young and already so talented, he gives a stunning performance despite the fact that his character can only move one finger, he's completely paralyzed yet he acts with his eyes. The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, both parts also very underrated, My Son too, that's a movie he did last year, James improvised all his dialogue, he was given no script, sadly the movie didn't have much promotion and his amazing improvised performance went largely unnoticed.

I worked as a stand-in with James on a film about 10 years ago. Genuinely nice guy. None of the ego and stuff you might expect - in fact it was the much less well known actors in the film who behaved snooty and aloof toward the crew and extras, whilst James would grab people like us and put us in the front of the line at lunch/dinnertime because he knew we worked hard and shouldn't have to spend half our lunch-break standing in a queue. Or would offer you a ciggy if you had to chaperone him for a smoke-break. Or even invite you over to his table and buy you a drink if he seen that all the other departments had sat in their own little cliques. Nice guy.

James McAvoy is hands down, one of my most favourite actors. I first saw him as Mr. Tumnus in Narnia as a kid, but later grew to appreciate the various roles he's played over the years. He always manages to inject human-ness into his roles, regardless the film genre. Great actor and I look forward to watching his films every time.

In his early action movies, directors and stunt coordinators were flabbergasted by James' ability to execute his own stunts. In Behind The Scenes content, several stunt coordinators said he could have easily been a professional Stunt Man in another life if he had applied himself to that. They said his instincts for vaulting objects or rolling out of high landings, especially, were top level. He could also adapt his body conditioning (weight, muscle mass) very quickly.

In the film I worked on he was supposed to jump out a 5th floor window, and we were all set-up to do it then the director for some reason changed his mind. But he was all set to jump through a fake window into a (very small looking) dumpster full of pillows on a crane 50ft above a cold hard street in Glasgow.

Having 24 personalities is definitely and obviously an extreme and some of them being aggressive it's not just comprehensive (based on the character's life experiences), but it does actually happens in real life too. There's some cases around the world of people struggling with DID and eventually commiting crimes, not the majority, but it might be an issue for a few.

Most "Dune" fans at least respect them. And James just kill it in that role! He truly elevated the entire thing. I don't know how far the new movie series will go, but if they ever get to "God Emperor of Dune" I truly hope they cast him again. Obviously he can't play young Leto any more, but he could perfectly play him as an ancient worm god.

Out of all the Dune books, God Emperor is my favorite.

I don’t think any studio exec is willing to put his job on the line in order to back a movie starring a 3,000+ year old giant tyrannical man worm with an all female army and clones of what would have to be Jason Mamoa.

That was great! I always come out of these wanting more, but the two parts really gave him time to get deep into everything.

I love James McAvoy. He is such an amazing actor and seems like such a genuine nice person. I would love to see him live in a play one day, I've heard his past plays have been amazing. I love and respect how he ended this interview with "roles they say are iconic ". It just shows humble he is that he doesn't even see any of these as iconic and how much he loves his art. I can't wait to see what other projects he takes on in the future.

Ever since Narina he's been one of my favourite actors. I was so happy to see him irl at a comic con a few weeks back. It was a great time listening to his Q&A.

You really do have to admire an actor that could follow Patrick Stewart in portraying any character and really add something to it

I was introduced to James McAvoy in "Children of Dune." Don't know if he was known before then, but I remember thinking to myself that he was fantastic.

Children of Dune was my favorite in high school, could never forget young James McAvoy being constantly shirtless. Then Wanted came out and then boom, away he went. Such a great actor!

This was great! So cool to know he was at Vapiano to read his X-Men script. Wish he talked about Starter for 10.

So I agree with everyone. I'm really surprised that both Atonement and The Last King of Scotland were not included in these. They're some of his most critically acclaimed works. That being said... I was really hoping for Penelope :(

Split was and will ever be the best an actor will have the chance to play ever!!and James already put the bar so high I doubt someone will be able to reach that ever. Sorry you can't compare this talent to anyone ....fight me😏
