Shout out to the moderator-- he asked insightful questions and allowed Benedict the time to really flesh out his answers. Excellent conversation!

I think they should pick Benedict for the next James Bond

He does have an amazing voice.

I will never get bored of him.

Does he really think he’s not handsome? It’s not projection it’s what we see and love!!! It’s the voice and very unique features:) it’s the kindness and humbleness it’s everything in between! Ben is just perfect!!

@SinbadHiccup 9 years ago

I'd listen to him for days, months, years...

He is such a truly beautiful person, inside and out. I admire him and his work so much. Also, love his voice to death.

A whole new world! ♥

He is so intelligent and articulate. I could listen him talk like forever.

@alannamcdonald 10 years ago

He is such an insparation i will always look up to him

Really, really enjoyed this interview. Loved hearing him talk about his craft. I hadn't realized just how much studying and work he's put into it. You can definitely see that it has paid off, though. I think he's the best actor of our generation, hands down.

(Not to mention, but listening to him talk is SO intellectually satisfying lol)

@squidthing 10 years ago

He's a real actor. He seems to love the process and isn't afraid of putting the work in. In an industry where most "actors" seem to be in it for the fame, its a wonderful thing. You can see he'd still be doing this even if his career hadn't blown up.

He's one of my favorite actors along with Ben Whishaw, Cillian Murphy, and Tom Hardy (Tom Hiddleston, too, before he became shamelessly fame hungry and poisoned my enjoyment of his work)

This man is a blessing to the world. Seeing his performances is a pleasure.

The way he puts words together and how fast his mind works, it seems like he's always thinking two steps ahead. He sounds really intelligent... or maybe it's just the accent.
