Actors Roundtable: Austin Butler, Brendan Fraser, Ke Huy Quan, Adam Sandler & More

This was a just really inspiring and genuine hour of 6 guys speaking about their lives.

Ke is a badass, came back to acting after 2 decades and instantly got an oscar

I feel like Adam isn't getting enough love in the comments. Hearing the way that other actors have talked about him helping them stand up for themselves (Terry Crews for instance) and how he's just a normal dad/guy outside of acting is just amazing. He genuinely cares so much about people

The world was robbed of 25 years of Ke Huy Quan. He was amazing in Everything Everywhere All at Once! That movie deserves all the Oscars

Colin seems such a self-aware dude. As he ages, I like him more and more as an actor. Such a caring group - watching these guys intently listening to each other and really trying to understand all points of view, is amazing....

I cried hearing how Brendan and Ke reconnect and support each other. Not to mention the amount of gravity and respect Brendan brings to light for the themes of the Whale and the COVID environment it was made. You can tell how into the conversation Colin is, how he even feels comfortable enough to lean onto the table and put his head down. Austin and Jeremy talk so much about respecting the truth of each of their real-life characters to justice. I am amazed at how much care they are giving each other. Amazing group of men.

Ke Huy Quan's unabashed honesty from the opening, set the tone for the entire session... best roundtable... watched till the last second.

Ke Huy Quan went from being a refugee as a child, to becoming an Oscar winning actor. He is really very inspiring, and he’s a role model for people who come from impoverished backgrounds. The sky’s the limit, you can do anything if you reach out and take it.

Just look at how engaged Brendan is with Austin. He really connects with his struggle. I love this group of actors. Really great watch

When Jeremy shared what his therapist said, I had the same reaction everyone in that room did…nothing but value. The drive to push everyone away that Austin spoke about as he dealt with grief and depression…thats whats ive been doing for years. It was important to hear that the difference is he always did one more even when he was full of doubt.

The way Brenden looks at everyone with such sincerity and focus is so sweet and REAL. It's so see these men just be open and talk.

Coming to this group interview after the Oscars is so cool to watch. Brendan and Ke are such genuine guys. Colin also felt extremely warm towards these guys. Great stuff.

Colin Farrell and Brendan Fraser are engulfed in this conversation. You can tell when someone is truly listening just by their body language. Brendan is about to cry at points in other people's stories and Colin almost looks childish in his wonder. What cool people.

These roundtable discussions are phenomenal. In a world where everything seems empty and hopeless, they give people hope. Just seeing these guys down to earth and expressing their true feelings with the struggles they've been through is such an inspiration.

I loved Austin Butler saying after starting to break out of his shell, "I'm not self-conscious, but others-concious"...what a profound truth!

Hearing Austin talk about Lisa Marie just days before she passed made the story of Elvis and his family so much more real. I'm glad they were able to do the project before she left.

I think the beauty of this roundtable is how all the actors left their egos behind and opened up to being vulnerable. Talking about their insecurities. And I think this was in part thanks to ke huy quan, who from the beginning set the tone for how the dynamic of the conversation was going to be. His humble and very down to earth way of telling about his life experience, made the atmosphere relaxed and made everyone feel in a safe space to talk not only about the success or situations inside the sets, but also about the fears and moments that influenced their life. Also the interviewer takes part of the reward for this incredible interview, because he was able to navigate topics that can be uncomfortable and delicate for people in a very open but yet respectful way. Bravo!

This Roundtable made me cry in minutes. Ke is awesome, as are Brandon & the others. Adam was class act taking the back seat & letting others be in the spotline to enjoy the moment they've been waiting for so long.

What really bothered me hearing Ke's story is that if his work on Everything Everywhere All at Once is any indication, we as a film loving public were robbed of 20 years of potentially incredible performances.

53:18 *_"WE'RE STILL HERE."_*
This line got me to burst into tears. I love these guys. Best roundtable ever.

I am just so happy that Brendan Fraser & Ke Huy Quan both won SAG's tonight. No 2 men have ever deserved it more!

You can just feel how much Brendan cares about this charachter, it's beautiful to see someone so passionate about their art, he's a joy to watch

Jeremy representing and protecting the person he was portraying is SO beautiful. If an actor ever portrayed me, I would want them to have that much passion.

This felt like a therapy session in the best of ways, thank you to everyone involved with this production from the camera people, the staff, the amazing interviewer who let them all talked and asked such great questions and the actors who were vulnerable with each other and with us.
I was in charge of the marketing campaign for Elvis in the movie theater that I worked as when that movie was coming out and got to see a lot of behind the scene stuff, Austin was always so humble and you can tell he really respected everyone. I saw that movie like 5 times when it came out, each time had me sobbing and made me a massive fan of Elvis and Austin. People were still going in December to watch that movie or rewatch it.
I'll be watching the other movies!

you can tell Brendan is such an empath. he looked close to tears at certain points listening to everyone’s stories. really enjoyed this round table. one of the best i’ve seen in a long time. no ego, no pride, just people sharing their lives and struggles with pure honesty. it felt therapeutic, for them and for us.

I grew up watching Adam, Brendan and Ke, this was a nostalgic yet heartwarming interview
Wasn’t expecting to cry but this really touched me
This was not only a chat but a therapy session that they all needed
I hope to see more from these actors

One of the best Hollywood interviews I've ever seen. Brutal honesty the entire time, great group of people.

All of them are gems, but Adam, Key, and Brendan have a special place in my heart. They are so genuine in this interview and I felt like it made the other actors feel more comfortable to be sincere, as well.

Such a great group of actors who respect and understand eachother's struggle. Hearing their coming up stories is inspiring and it's great seeing them earn the success they have and learning from eachother

50:40 is just beautiful. Brendan Fraser completely engrosses you because of how emotive and gentle he is. Everyone just instinctively leans in; Absolutely loved this round table

I never knew Colin was such an intelligent, insightful, and well spoken person. He is a natural poet.

I have never watched an interview from this channel, that was amazing. Every single one of them so humble and thoughtful even with so much success. How wonderful

Here after the Oscars. So happy for Brendan and Ke .The most genuine and humble actors in Hollywood.

Man, I seriously just had to hold back tears every time Ke Huy Quan spoke.. Such a humble man, and someone I grew up knowing my whole life. This was a great interview for all parties and just fun and super interesting to watch.

This was one of the most beautifully tender, tremendously inspiring, humbly broken conversations amongst men that I have ever had the privilege hear.

I was so grateful that each of the actors had plenty of time to tell their stories without being cut off like in most interviews. It had a very calm feeling about it that allowed each actor to think and respond with their deeper insights. Also they didn’t interrupt or talk over each other - they were very respectful of each other. I was very impressed with each of them - not focusing on ego - but trying to share their own journey.

Some of the best chemistry ever on this roundtable. No competition, no ego, just some grounded, great guys listening to each other’s truths.

Brenden, Ke and Collin are such delights to watch on screen and off screen. Loved the genuine conversation taking place. It's so sad we were deprived of their so many potential phenomenal performances just because opportunities in Hollywood were different back then (still is but lesser now). Loved to hear all these stories. The only roundtable I found was so warm and supportive after the one of Andrew Garfield, Dev Patel and Jeff Bridges. I hope to see more of all these actors in upcoming projects.

This was actually quite a poignantly inspiring and encouraging conversation of 6 men from different aspects of life all talking about their journey towards their dream

I just love Brendan. ❤️ He's a national treasure.

Wow not even 3 mins in and I'm already crying because of Ke! He is amazing!

I love how invested Colin is and how he shows it too. Makes sure they know he’s really listening to their stories

This wasn't just a roundtable, it was a full on therapy session.

This was my first actors round table and I am so glad it was with actors of multiple generations who admire each other and respect each other. And even more amazing is that all of them had a personal memory of Brendan Fraser showing his impact in the industry 👏👏

Ke Huy Quan is absolutely authentic, and I am absolutely in love with his ability to sustain. I absolutely adore all of these actors, and I love and respect the talent, and the work it takes to struggle, and overcome the obstacles of your own mind. Thank you for your art, and talent at bringing forth absolute emotion.

Ke's got such a unique past with most of us. Even if we never heard of him, it's a moving story of him getting this role and accomplishing what he did in this movie. But most of us also grew up watching him in such iconic roles that he's a part of our past. It makes it that much better seeing his success.

Who ever put this group together should get a bonus. Amazing stories and I could listen forever.

How great to see Ke again. As a kid of the 80’s I knew his voice instantly. I always wondered where he went and am so glad he’s back. Same goes for Brendan Fraser, I look forward to seeing what the future holds for them both.

Somebody please give Brendan a hug. He needs it and deserves it for everything he's ever given us. He's an inspiration to anyone who has truly felt left behind by the world

Ke's advice at the end: when you have a dream and you doubt if you can ever accomplish it and when you can achieve your dream, he tells us to be patient. Your time will come. Look at Ke, though it took him 25 years to get where he is, he got his time now that he deserves. So helpful! Thank you, Ke.

I grew up with Brendan Fraser as a big action star. Very happy he is back on top.

I'm not familiar with Jeremy Pope but I am very happy I found him because he is amazing. I love how all of them gave space and support to one another. This was beautiful.

Brendan Fraser had me holding back tears he is so genuine and humble, you can hear the emotion every time he speaks. so excited he has returned to film❤❤❤

I am genuinely happy for Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan, it was a difficult journey for them but they persevered and are now being recognized for their talent 😊❤

This was by far the best one yet! Everyone was so emotionally engaged and listened to what everyone had to say. And there was a lot of heartfelt stories with lots of struggle and pain and you could really feel it throughout the whole episode. I mean damn I probably cried like 5 times. Just beautiful!👏👏👏

I just hope that Jeremy and Austin know that they are sitting in a room of legends that paved the way for them. I’d love to even be a fly on the wall n surrounded by these 4 extremely talented actors.

I loved this group. So excited for Brendon and Ke....I remember Ke from the Goonies and I loved him. I'm glad Hollywood is changing and growing to be more inclusive. It's a much more interesting story to open up roles. Now I want to see many more roles open up for older female actresses. Men are lucky that they can be 50s and up and still get offered a variety of roles. Women in 40s, 50s, 60s, and up get stuck with mother or grandmother roles as of they aren't doing other things. I see it's better...with JLO, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Anniston, getting better roles, but let's see more. And more women of color that are older as well. Please expand the characters to reflect more of society.

I love people who are passionate about their craft. Doesn't matter if you are an actor or a mechanic. To hear these actors speak with such passion, humility, and admiration for each other is inspiring. Loved every second of this.

Damn, what an eye opening round table with some of the most humble actors of the generation. These guys deserve the success they’ve gotten, lots of wisdom coming from people who’ve experienced so much.

I'm overjoyed with the renaissance Brendan and Key Huy Quan's careers are going through at the moment. They're both talented actors and deserve all of the praise they're currently receiving.

Damn you can tell Brendan wants to cry at certain points and he should.
The man is a living legend. My childhood goofball comedian/icon.
Dang Brendan I love you man.
Keep doing you. ❤

I really loved the camaraderie, how supportive all of them were. Real admiration and respect. Even the body language... It's palpable the resilience in the room... I love all of them

Its so crazy when you think about the different trajectories of Adam and Brenden from air heads to now 😂

I love how GENUINELY seriously Colin is taking as everyone speaks, its almost like he is drinking it in like a man dying of thirst in a desert, he is engrossed in every person who is speaking and for some reason it caught me off guard and kinda made me like him more than I already did.
Every man there is a treasure to the medium and there was a great deal of important and useful information being shared here.

To everyone who participated in this round table, the actors, the gentlemen there. I genuinely am humbled by your humbleness. Thank you all for opening up, I hope it also helps many others who are struggling and trying. Truly inspiring

Colin & Brendan are so obviously into this entire conversation. It’s touching and beautiful. Also the humility shown by Adam as Ke is very special.

Best roundtable by far. Hearing all these talented actors speak about their truth and journeys on how they got to where they are today was so inspiring. Thank you for this.

I'm so moved by Ke Huy Quan. So humble and radiates gratitude and joy.. So happy these blessings came his way. So well deserved and just love hearing his story:) I'm loving this interview:)

Jeremy Pope is such a win to have for this, great person and great actor. Will be looking forward to watching his work in the years to come.

Great stories by everyone at the table. Just watched Elvis and that performance was Oscar worthy. I went down the wormhole of Elvis real performances and it's uncanny how well Austin recreated it .

About time Ke Huy Quan gets a spot at these roundtables, with such a great panel, too!

I needed this. As a young actor, my sons were 2 and 4 when my wife died. Even though my dying wife made me promise I would pursue my acting 100%, my "why" was being a father. A 2nd marriage(nulled) and a 3rd son and my "why" remains Father... I have turned down more opportunities than I accepted because I felt would infringe upon my son's time with me; with their father. I am grateful for my roles I HAVE been able to play but I fear I am irrelevant. I keep going. And I have for 30 years. At 56, I can tell you that I have a deeper healthier relationship with myself which enriches the roles I get to audition and play. These guys were phenomenal mentors for me. So I loved and needed to receive, today.

Colin’s cheers and guffaws are so endearing. He’s making people open up. Great video

Brendan Fraser seems like such a sweet soul! You can see in his eyes how much kindness means to him and how much he cares about people and their journeys.

The emotions displayed in this, was incredible. You could tell each of them are being quite raw with details.

ke’s story is quite literally such an absolute point that representation in media is so incredibly important

This was a great round table talk !! Each of these actors had their own true life story to share w/ us . Not all where fortunate coming up in the ramks ( so to speak)

Utmost respect for Colin, what a phenomenal actor

I was riveted during this entire conversation. When the moderator was wrapping it up, I was shocked & hoped it was just for a quick break! I could have listened to these men for another 3 hours. They are encouraging me to not give up, to take bigger risks in my work and follow what makes my heart sing. Thoughtful, vulnerable and stunning. Thank you!

This was honestly so beautiful and so expiring. In a world of social media and Clip-Sharers, this really really was needed. Sometimes we can all forget our passion and what makes our hearts burst with happiness and determination. Thank you so much for this fantastic interview. A room full of greats and most importantly wise empathetic guys.

Not enough can be said about, all of us story tellers getting the opportunity to experience the genius behind the actor.
I learn and parallel so much of what is given.

Colin Farrell is the perfect example of how a person can completely change who they are. Not just by maturing but through hard work and being a better human being.

So inspiring ❤ I don't have any artistic tendencies and my health care job is so far from Hollywood, but I feel inspired and touched by all of these men to take this same energy and apply it to life in general!

Wow. What an hour. Class, vulnerability, and deep honesty on display from all these great humans. Ke moves me to tears. I am so impressed with all of them, how they listen to and lift each other up with kind attention.

This might be the best HR roundtable out there.
Very moving, and incredibly energizing, as one feels everyone is really there intending to be truthful and offering what they have..deprived of Ego, and therefore enjoying themselves.
What a privilege to watch.
Thank you to all who were involved, in this.

Ke's story always gives me goosebumps, I'm really happy he's back

That was so much more than I thought it would be. Tremendous respect for all. Delightfully surprised by some. Jeremy’s therapist’s insight has taken up residency in my head. 🙌🏻

Colin Farell is so exciting to listen to. He's astonishingly articulate, emotive and engaged that he makes any conversation fascinating.

Every time I hear Brendan talk.... It is so fragile, like he is holding back a lot of emotions. And I have seen it in other clips where he does let his emotions go. I have the feeling that the duality of him returning to Hollywood and the appreciation he is receiving versus the experiences that made turn his back is so emotionally draining that he needs to constantly hold himself in check....

It's endearing how Colin was really into the conversation, engaging everyone and being very chatty. I can easily see him handing done beers to the others as of they were looking time friends.

Blown away by this one. I watched it days ago and it's still resonating. These guys...their different journeys...their vulnerability and their humility...just so inspiring! Thank you for this magical grouping and episode!

I promise you all right now, the Hollywood biography of Ke Huy Quan's life WILL WIN AN OSCAR!

Living in Ireland when he said keep being bold he meant, keep being a bit crazy. And it’s important not to loose that. This session was surprisingly emotional!

Is it just me or is this the best round table i’ve seen to date? I was left completely speechless and extremely invested in every single individual story and perspective.

Seeing these guys have an honest conversation with each other about their strides that happened in their careers is a great thing to hear. They are all great in their own right and appreciate what happened in their lives that led them to where they are today. Great session with great guys

Brendan was a very big actor for me in the 90's im glad that hes alright and hes working again on bigger things.

This is beautiful. It felt so intimate and allowed the viewer to connect. So many ups and downs of these great icons. Glad I had a window to this interview.

so nice to see KE BEING SO HUMBLE AND GENEROUS, it really highlights how other actors have become so wrapped up in themsleves and their ego

I'm so happy for Austin and Brendan, and for the rest of the guys, of course. They're making history :)

Brendan is such a great listener. You can tell he's empathetic.
