If one doesn’t appreciate the presence of a moderator during the year’s many roundtables, today we have an array of conversations with the year’s top actors freely talking about their craft. Created by Variety, each talk runs about ten minutes and features the compelling combinations of Marion Cotillard and Timothy Spall, Oscar Isaac and Gugu Mbatha-Raw, David Oyelowo and Jack O’Connell, and Benedict Cumberbatch and Edward Norton.
In the talks, Patricia Arquette asks Jake Gyllenhaal about the animalistic inspirations for Nightcrawler, Josh Brolin tells J.K. Simmons about the most praise the Coens ever gave him, Jessica Chastain talks about the awkward experience of her first paid job on ER, Ethan Hawke tells a story about getting older and having thick skin to Keira Knightley, and much more. Check out all the conversations, amounting to two hours, below and on the next page.
