Whaat? He's American? I thought he was a Brit for sure! He played Churchill really well.

John Lithgow was simply stunning as Churchhill, so complete in every way. He deserves an Emmy without question.

Foy is a very good actress. But what's most impressive about her role as QEII is her speech. She speaks the Queen's English FLAWLESSLY on the series.

Lithgow should get an Emmy for his performance. He was magnificent as Churchill !

Is it just me or is Claire Foy totally fangirl-ing over John Lithgow? So cute!

I felt sad when Winston burned his portrait.

the depiction of Churchill is so fucking on point, what an amazing actor john is... I was so drawn to the character in this show, a different point of view on one of the strongest and highest prime ministers in history.. it was just chilling the scene where the queen and him meet for the first time...amazing

Claire Foy is so pretty.

they both KILLED their parts! absolutely phenomenal performances.

Oh . my . god. So much more admiration for John Lithgow now that i see he's American! Would never have guessed with his perfect English accent.

Lithgow is American!!? Wow 😳 he's spectacular as Churchill on that show.. such a beautiful show

Claire Foy is sooo sweet; fantastic actress too. Watched the first 3 episodes of the show. Magnificent performances by Matt, Claire, and John. We finally get a human perspective of the most famous royal family in the world.

Just binge watched it and God, it killed me. Can't wait to see more. Beautifully done.

Lithgow paces himself incredibly. Every so often just as we begin to forget he always manages to remind us how fantastic an actor he is.

This video was from a time before most of us realized how incredible this show is.

His scene in 1:6 I believe, when he is *spoilers* Sick and having to keep the secret from Elizabeth and then caught later in the episode is heart wrenching. His emotional moment with her had me in tears and I knew I had to watch a funny episode of 3rd rock from the sun or Harry and the Henderson’s because I had to know Lithgow was just acting!! It was so real how he portrayed Churchill.

He's so much younger than I thought... And an American!! Fantastic job John

A Brit played "Abraham Lincoln" so I don't think it's insulting that an American played a Brit.

This series is astonishing. The acting, the writing, the sets, the cinematography and even the title music is by Hans Zimmer

Claire Foy was phenomenal, too ! What a beauty. That cleft chin gets me😍

john used to take ballet class with us about 15 years ago( was it that long ago?) and he was so unassuming and quiet. we loved having him there - it was a gift to have him join us. I don't know if he was preparing for a role,or just interested in ballet. good times!

The expression from Claire Foy at the end!

She's got Bette Davis eyes! She looks like a really pretty version of BD when she was young. She's fabulous in the role on The Crown, they all are

John Lithgow must get prepared to get all the awards thrown at him

john Lithgow was amazing in his role as prime minister , flawless performance! love love love him!

Throughout my life I've seen countless performances of actors portraying Churchill, being a history buff and all. But Lithgow TOPS them all. Every book I read about churchill and every movie I've seen- I pictured the man just how Lithgow portrays him.

The crown was amazing.. both seasons

Jon Lithgow is always so humble

I give a thumbs up 👍 for John Lithgow! What a Churchill 👏👏👏👏 this is how Churchill must have been

I've seen many actors take on Churchill, but John is by far superior. All the mannerisms, all the vocal inflections. He nails it perfectly

When he says 'Peter Morgan', i just imagine him saying 'Hello... Dexter Morgan'.

These 2 were absolutely exceptional!!! MAGNIFICENT!!!! BOTH deserve awards. The crown is 1 of my favorite shows. All the actors, of course some more than others, but they all served their roles well! VERY WELL!!!

Churchill's mother was an American! Not many people know that.

Just started viewing The Crown. The first thought in my mind was how could they choose such a tall man to play Churchill? I mean Lithgow is a full 10 inches taller than Churchill was. But when Lithgow started to act on screen I quickly forgot about that detail. He was rhe perfect Churchill. I have seen Lithgow play comedy, murderous villain and now aging statesman, all with the same skill and bravado. He is one of the greatest actors of our time.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 my favourite series right now.. already on season 3 and miss the first two seasons’ cast 😓😓😓 what a great cast!

Lithgow as Churchill.... Excellent!

Enjoyed this interview, I am a Brit who was brought up by a Scottish mother who imbued me with a high regard for Churchill and of course his oratory, then I read history for 4 year, and since then have researched Churchill for many further years, and I was bowled over by Lithgoe’s performance. Absolutely wonderful , well done sir you are a credit to American acting. Every detail absolutely on target, especially the soul of the man. Bravo

*I could listen to John talk all day*

Lithgow always delivers - class actor. The surprise for me re. the Crown was Miss Foy as Q.E 2 - she was magnificent !✌️🇬🇧👍

Just watched series 1 and John was absolutely fabulous as Winston Churchill

John Lightgow made the best impersonation of Churchill that I've ever seen.

in the tv-show DEXTER season 54 or 5 i guess, he had such a powerfull character "the trinity killer" ...such a big actor !

I'm addicted to this show lol I finished in 2 days.

The real life Churchill was a mass murderer who caused the death of millions of Indians in the Bengal famines. But kudos to John Lithgow, exceptional work by this great actor. His portrayal is the best I have ever seen on screen.

I hate how nobody talks about Vanessa, it’s like she’s forgotten.

BOTH OF THEM DID AN EXCEPTIONAL JOB PORTRAYING THEIR CHARACTERS

The Crown is unparalleled !

John Lithgow was absolutely amazing in the role.....Surely no one could have captured the young Queen better than Claire Foy.

Too bad the interviewers can’t shut up and just let the guests speak.

LOVE Claire Foy and John Lithgow! Lithgow pulled off Churchill quite well (although the British may disagree) and really captured the strengths and weaknesses of Sir Winston Churchill. He truly was an incredible statesman. God save the Queen!

She looks like Emily blunt

Lithgow did a super job as Churchill. Really enjoyed his role in The Crown. And so has Claire and Matt. I'm addicted to this Netflix series . :)

The British Royal Family (and all of them, in fact, have tremendous drama attached to them. And the British Royal Family has more than its share of drama suitable for Television.

"My dad is Winston Churchill" -Barney Stinson

Great awesome interview! Love the both of them!!❤

I clicked here because Claire foy is absolutely stunning

John Lithgow and Claire Foy are wearing the same shade of lipstick

This is a surprisingly good series. The first two eps were a bit slow but now I'm hooked.

John Lithgow is a class act. Adore him!

They both did an incredible job in their roles!

can´t wait to see the next season !

Fantastic, entertaining, thoroughly enjoyable show!!!! Love it! Wonderful acting!

I love this series!!!

Such a talented actor - he did a fantastic job. Watch Episode 9 of Season 1 and you'll know why... I thought that was a fantastic display of his abilities as an actor.

Two of the best - excellent work!

What a fantastic show. And as I write this comment, I am happy to dicover season 4 is in production with season 5 to follow.

that man doesn't age

I love this show! They chose a wonderful cast!

One must remember that Churchill was not only the grandson of a duke...of Marlborough...but like he would had married A Vanderbilt., Winston’s mother was also an American, Jennie Jerome Of Baltimore

Felicitaciones!! Excelentes actores. Saludos desde Montevideo

Really good series great attention to detail, really well done series. All the actors really great. Should have won the television award

she looks like sarah paulson

Mr. Lithgow is the best performance of Churchill, EVER ! John is a true genius. And Claire is good, damn good.

What a great actor Pure class , you could put him in any film or soap and it would be a hit

His English accent was amazing would never have guessed he was American!

Oh my god! I only know that John Lithgow is an American now. I thought he is an English with no doubt! Brilliant actor! And I love Claire Foy so so much!

Miss this trio,especially Charlie and Nora.the show then was so smart , intelligent and fun

Brilliant acting... Oscar - winners... Divine performances...

He’s a genius and actor And she has a beautiful accent I’m going to view It😊😊😊😊😊

John Lithgow is a legend !

They are both brilliant on the show.

wow its incredible how different he is to the character!! he played it so wonderfully, he truly embodies churchill

Only seen five episodes but it's great. Brilliant show this

Saw John Lithgow at a young age on 30 seconds to Mars which was a hit sitcom. I then saw him on the serial killer thriller show on Showtime, Lexter. Wonderful actor! Seems like Claire Foy is swooning, has utter respect for Mr. Lithgow.

It’s weird seeing how hilarious Lithgow was in 3rd rock and then watch him become Winston Churchill. Now that’s an actor! The male version of Meryl Streep.

John Lithgow was a great churchill.....so was brendan gleeson who, amazingly, also played the young handsome irish freedom fighter michael collins, who,in many ways, was churchill`s nemesis and totally opposite..

He’s Barney Stinson’s dad! Legendary!

This is wonderful show. I enjoyed it very much. I love it that it shows that their lives weren't so glamorous.

I was shocked knowing that he was American cause he depicted the role way better than i expected, I think he was better than Gary Oldman in Darkest hour...

a magnificent performance, unmatched on television. just watched and had to find somewhere to express my opinion. :)

I met John Lithgow once , a charming man .

It would be disrespectful not to feel somewhat intimidated by the prospect of playing Britain's greatest Prime Minister or longest reigning monarch. However both Lithgow and Foy rose to their responsibilities with immaculate performances. I'm not a royalist, but three series in, I salute The Crown for its clear-eyed exploration of Elizabeth, her reign, and the country that was changing around her. My parents were almost exact contemporaries of The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh, and even though they came from humble backgrounds, I was often reminded of them as I watched the series unfold.

John Lithgow is brilliant, both in Third Rock and as Churchill. Claire Foy is wonderful and to my mind right on point as the young Queen. Bravo

Both killed it.

Thank you for the best TV series EVER!

I LOVE Claire Foy! I earned a new fan!

The first two seasons are still the best,... because of these two actors.

Loved them both very much 🥰🥰

lithgow is a terrific actor loved him all those years ago in 3rd rock from the sun and he was brilliant in that season of Dexter also great as Churchill and yes also Terms of Endearment

A charming interview, unlike most of these TV talk shows.
