I could listen to him for hours, he should be a university lecturer

Giving Bill Hader the giggles is an item on my bucket list.

Everyone in view at 27:02 looks like they're in love with him and i cant blame them

"Hi gang" Hes so cute kksksks

I'm watching hours long videos of Bill Hader talking about the work and the creative process like I'm someone from the industry too but i'm not. I'm a chemical engineer graduate ffs. What am I doing with my life?

I totally liked this ‘mentor’ side of Bill. Thanks for posting this video.

“SWEET! i dont have to think. dope.” 😭

I literally almost started crying at 55:46 when he said "sorry" under his breath because I do that literally all the time when I feel insecure or uncomfortable because of my anxiety. Bill Hader is literally my idol and it warmed my heart to see him do the same insecure things that I do. Thank you, Bill. ❤

Thank you Bill for saying that people are smart. Trust the audience to 'get it'. They will.

Yes to Bill Hader . Just . yes.

56:25 he starts talking about IT!! so hyped! Bill was the perfect casting for Richie!

He must be so tired of telling the Barry origin story. I've heard it about 20 times myself. This would definitely be the worst part of being famous. And all the cameras in your face and strangers wanting stuff from you. LOL I guess I'm happy being anonymous.

I could listen to Bill speak all day. I would love to meet him.

Bill is so precious, I love him so freaking much

he's generous. he gives long detailed answers to even the dumb obvious questions

He started from the bottom and arrived to the top, always with a smile on his face, without showing any grudge, with a lot of humility, vulnerability and positivity. He is a role model for me and for anybody who wants to lead a "deep" life. Keep going, Bill, wish you plenty of luck

Its great getting to see Bill having the chance to talk more about his creative process ...... The first time i saw The Skeleton Twins he really blew me away...This man is a real one off. Massive respect for him It Chapter 2 is going to be amzing

all the acting students saying their full names like he's gonna cast or even remember them lmfao

I love a man that can say "I don't know"

A wonderful session. One of many things I respect about Bill Hader is that he doesn't talk in buzzwords, catchphrases, or clichés. His language is genuine and meaningful. Even if he has said some of these things many times, in different interviews, he means them. He has thought and lived them through.

Protect this man at all cost. I hope he knows how much he means to a lot of people💛❤️

Can’t believe they got THE Lorenzo at this!! Lorenzo, I doubt you’re reading but if you are thanks for asking the question, it really gave some more insight to how the show was made

That was so fantastic! Somehow I found my way fully into a Bill Hader YT video-lecture/interview binge-watching marathon today - I’ve been suffering with constant severe nerve pain 24 hours a day since a re-injury after surgery, completely unable to sleep for several days (apologies - probably *too much information!)* - but this genuinely lovely bloke has helped me keep a tentative grasp on my sanity, & my mind occupied, at least for a while. *Must find more!*

What an insightful discussion! Love the questions, love the answers, and I also have to point out that I love the couple clapping in tandem at the end (1:04:08).

Letting the audience imagine the rest of a skillfully implied backstory can be more powerful than making it explicit in the same way that the scary thing in a movie can be more frightening when details about it are unknown. The viewer's imagination fills in the blanks and does so with stuff that is likely to be more emotionally significant to them than you would come up with.

It's great how seriously he's taking these questions from students very often his interviews get silly, and when he interviews with other comic writers and actors they riff off of each other. But the seriousness and respect for the craft is awesome to see.

you know that feeling when you see someone and you just KNOW you would get along with them really well? yeah that's bill for sure

Success is always a 'traffic jam'. Great insight.

Hi all! This is a great video and I can't believe it took me this long to discover it. I was with Bill at Princeton in '96, oh so long ago! It was a blast and like he said we learned a lot about the film making process (filming on Arriflex 16mm and editing on big ole Steenbecks). The staff was awesome and for me it was wonderful to finally be around people who spoke my language, film geek. Bill was hilarious even back then. His imitations were more of the instructors and fellow students which had us all rolling. We did shoot 4 films that summer (a mise-en-scene, an editing film, a synch sound film and our final short film). I have put up my editing film from that time if anyone wants to get a kick out of it. It's a good representation of what we had learned up to that point (tell a story in 15 to 20 cuts, with no sound). I hope it's ok to link it here, if not I understand. Besides Bill playing the main Bondian villain, his henchman was played by fellow student Duke Johnson, who went on to co-direct the Academy Award nominated film Anomalisa! Enjoy and hooray for the NYFA! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r5t_q9iV06iReZs.html

Lorenzo is for sure a youtuber lmao "what's up bill lorenzo here"...girl what...the people laughing at him in the bg are correct

i would die for him......

Thank you for posting this, this was great and very enlightening. Very good questions, and Bill is amazing.

I'm in love with Hader

I'm in design, not film or acting, but Bill's points about being "instinctual " with your craft and believing in *persistence + talent = luck* is so relatable to creative professionals as well who face insecurities, uncertainties, and the constant struggle between standing for your own ideas vs. collaborating with others in our careers.

I can listen to this guy for hours

Love him in Barry, but really also love him in Skeleton Twins.

Bill is a reptilian shape-shifter & I love it. He goes into his impersonating mode with his face & you know who he’s portraying without himself saying a word. I worked with him in “It 2” & asked him to impersonate myself. It freaked me out extremely. From then on, when he spoke with me, he was portraying me. I had him do my voicemail answering in Jack Nicholson mode. Previous to that, I had Jim Brewer doing Harland Williams. P.S. most of the weed in “Half-Baked” was real.

I love that quote about luck and how it takes persistance. People always view luck as something that happens 100% out of the blue and something that you absolutely can't control, and some people get jealous of others because of that. And yeah, by definition luck is something that you can't predict but if don't put yourself out there again and again, you have less chance of something like that to happen to you. I've watched a lot of interviews about Bill and that's really what struck me about his life. He got noticed by Megan Mullally because he took improv class to get out of his comfort zone even though it wasn't a thing he was interested in. He talks a lot about hanging out in writers room to learn the process of writing for TV (with south park) or movies (with Pixar) even before getting hired to do so. And just hanging out in Pixar's writers room got him a job in Inside Out. I'm not at all into the business, but it's something that you can apply to your everyday life even though you have nothing to do with cinema. If you ever get stuck and want to succeed, you have to put yourself out there and not be afraid of failure because it IS going to happen, and it happens even to the most talented and successful people. You just have to accept it, try to learn from it and move on.

I wonder if it was Bill's idea to call Scottsdale the most miserable place on earth on that episode of South Park.

I might go to New York film academy for acting and what’s amazing is that Bill is one of my idols and finding out he attended Nyfa makes me happy even more

What a great teacher Bill Hader is. I hope he inspires all these students to create from deep authenticity.

I love him so much. I love his funny and silly side but i appriciate this smart and serious bill so much it makes me feel so inspired

Cool that they got him as a speaker

how do those kids don't know collateral damage? Love Bill!

love an interview that starts with a hype montage. I was so thrilled by the time hader rocked up

Hader's GENUINE KINDNESS and GENEROSITY towards the audience members' questions is so intensely positive. He answers their questions (which I've noticed many actors do not even attempt) with succinct and eloquent specifics which help illustrate the topic(s) he seeks to illustrate. In writing this, I feel like some people are either unaware of the importance of EMOTION to ART (be it writing or directing or acting), the importance of STORY...how it FEELS when you're COLLABORATING and communicating...or they value this so intensely they are LOATHE TO SHARE this knowledge. Hader is so intuitive and humble and kind...giving props to other people who CONTRIBUTE invaluable nuances to each project. I've sent this video to all my FAVOURITE CREATIVE loved ones...as this is...akin to John Cleese's TINY (but brilliant and valuable) book on CREATIVITY....It is a masterclass on such priceless knowledge. Hader is such an authentic and genuinely human being....and even more inherently likeable and LOVABLE because of his vulnerability and honesty. Brilliant host too.

I love BILL HADER he was the best pick to play adult Richie finn wolfhard was soooooo right!!

He‘s such a great man!😊💙🌈🏳️‍🌈 And to me he is an actor and not an comedian. He can play everything!❤️

This is better than any Masterclass session could ever be

This is sooo useful😍thanks to Bill for his great advising and his insight 💛 He is Rad

Wow thank you Mr Hader, I am more likely to follow my dream more. x

I think your a natural storyteller, actor, director and, film maker. There are people that are obviously supposed to be writers, comedians, athletes, for instance Buster Posey was born to play baseball; You are the same , you found your natural talent. It’s awesome to see.You’re so humble, and it comes across in your work. You’re a great example and teacher. Thank you so much.

why did i burst into tears at the beginning of this video.

Thanks so much for uploading this!

This is a 1000 times better than any interview.

iconic

Thank you for sharing this. Wishing the best for every student! Looking forward to seeing some of their work one day.

Hader is so talented. I always love listening to him talk about the process on every level. Love Bill s comedy style👍👍💖🌟🌟

It’s funny, out of all the actors in the world, I think Bill would be one of the better people to get advice from about the world of acting, he’s so honestly humble and normal (besides his obvious talent), there isn’t an ounce of arrogance, he still thinks like a fan and a normal person. Hell, he’s actually more humble, normal and nice than the average person let alone Hollywood actors. Besides that, he’s absolutely hilarious and a fantastic actor, writer and director

I want to meet him so bad!

Remarkable speech. have learnt alot.

It is so nice to hear an artist talk about the craft.

Oh how I needed that!!

What a fascinating individual!

41:46 and 44:53 just made me cry and I definitely needed to hear that

I would have taken Bill Hardee’s iPod in middle school. Maybe even before a week.

Amazing human

Lorenzo guys 😂I like him already .

1:04:10 poor guy he can't even applaud xD

I really wish someone had asked Bill what Adam Driver thinks of Barry.

@ 20:00 is so good

Everything he says about jokes at 40:00 is EXACTLY the kind of mistakes that the MCU makes with their ill-timed humour and as he says, those kinds of mistakes suck all of the air out of the scene.

Quentin should just hand over his theatre for a couple of months to Bill....

Can I get people to sign a petition so I could ask this man to marry me?

Lorenzo literally slated for Bill Hader and I love that 24:56

He also is a musician

The acting teachers must be like “fucking Bill Hader, we spend all this time teaching acting and he tells them to not think”

I think the ppl asking the questions are more interesting than their questions …

What's with everyone wearing the green dot?

I love this man ❤ I think he and I should get married

well that went by quickly

I think if anyone brings anything from all the great advice is.Fail but continue . As bad as it sounds. Failure is the catalyst for every that becomes greatness. Mr Hershey of the candy fame. Tried and failed 13 times. Before he founded Hershey's. Everything we have now came about through. Trying failing reviewing what went wrong and adapting from what was learned. No Tommy get off the roof. You know I did not mean you. There is no spray or Butterscotch candy that will make you fly. Wait!!! Are you sure your set on doing this? Ok hang on lemme start the video recorder on my phone.

The blonde guy at 54 mins or so has some decent content out now.

quickest hour ive watched on youtube...

50:30 Oh my god please don't call it 'content'

I want to learn about Filmmaking

Is Hader the funniest person that's ever been on SNL?

Is it me or did a lot of people just ask the question? Or asked questions he had already answered ...

Yesšššš

How can i get scholar in NYFA

Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain , who ! Who ? Whom the bell tolls ,tis only I . Howling moon wise , clawing grubs , foaming at the mouth sublimely.

공부도 제일 못한 왕따였는데 심리사 지망생으로 연구원 되겠다고 박사수료 후 백조가 되었습니다. 무료 온라인 교육기관에 가 상식을 지식으로 착각하고 취업을 위해 공백을 메꾼다고 수료증을 여러개 모았습니다. 그러다 서울패션위크 기간에 강남에 있는 백화점에 가게 되었고 model을 수료하고 꽃을 배웠습니다. 영화 도 보았죠. 영화 수업이 movie를 안주고 film을 주어 기억 속 뉴욕영화학교를 영어로 찾아보았습니다. 개 작위가 모델인 것도 압니다.

can anyone catch what Bill said Andy Muschietti would call him?

#BillHader is an "NYFA alum"? That's news to me. :( #Barry #HBOBarry #HBO_Barry

Love Bill Hader. Does it bother anyone else that the front row in front of Bill is almost all white blond girls? Chance or not?

i would disagree about the exposition in stripes. i enjoyed the extra look into his life .felt it was necessary... for them to just wake up one day and have a two minute scene and then go enlist would have been kind of silly. would have cut the legs out from under the WHOLE story...

As usual the commentator ruins it. Shut up and let Hader do his thing

39:14 Yes, but, seeing that girlfriend formed the paradigm that predicted all of my future relationships. Blonde pixie pocket rocket with a chip on her shoulder. One hot mess to go, with extra sauce...

He put right to sleep, lol

The audience is...weird. Am I the only one that thinks the audence is weird?
