Check out Banshee. He plays a very different type of character there (the protaganist), but does just as well of a job, if not even better. And the show overall is, in my opinion, even better writing than The Boys. It's a masterpiece of a story. It's either 4 or 5 seasons. You'll wish you had watched it sooner, trust me.

The crazy thing is, LONG before The Boys, his character in Banshee gave off the EXACT same impression (and he was the good guy in Banshee). I was a diehard fan of Banshee, and Antony's acting as Lucas Hood was a masterfull performance. Dude was a total badass, with a sheer will like John Wick's, and despite having no superpowers, inspired the same type of intimadation and respect from his presence. For him to achieve that as both good and evil characters, both super-powered and regular human, says a lot about him as an actor. If you haven't seen Banshee, I can't recomend it enough. No matter what genre you prefer, Banshee is just a really, really good story. A masterpiece of writing and character development.
He's a lot more campy than I thought he'd be, but also sincere at the same time.

I didn't recognize him at all at first, just like Superman being Clark Kent. lol Great stuff!
Excellent interview, can’t wait to see what Antony Star acts in next. He’s One to keep on eye on for sure!
Why no studio is offering him good main roles in films? He is a damn good actor we all know that now. Let him spread his wings.

honestly one of the most exciting actors in many years
Homelander does a great job of playing Antony Starr.
7:42 Oh, my God, what am I going to do? What am I going to wear? Am I going to look okay? 😂😂 He's such a fanboy ❤
Antony Starr is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors! I love watching his interviews and realizing how amazingly talented he is to pull off a character like Homelander.
goddamn he's an acting genius like, completely different person here

Yeah homelanders really good at being Anthony Starr
Loved how well he was engaged during the whole conversation. He definitely wanted to share more. It’s a shame he was cut short. But that’s showbiz, baby!
the guy without homelander suit looks so much gentleman. great actor!
Antony Starr is such a good actor I think a lot of people don't realize how talented he really is. He inhabits the characters so completely we forget that he's acting.
My first time seeing Antony Starr as himself and heck, I didn't realise how different he is in his appearance, his voice and his personality. I already thought he was a good actor in that role but yeah, even moreso now I see he really is playing someone very different to himself. If Homelander ever required a 'Clark Kent' persona to fool everyone, Antony could just play himself. He's even already wearing glasses. :P

Same! I’ve never seen any interviews with him, so I didn’t know that he changed his hair and voice and *everything* !

Well both him and Karl Urban are kiwis too. Antony's American accent is much better than Karl's cockney one though.

He sounds sick, like sore throat or something. Because his normal Kiwi (New Zealand) accent is a little lower. Might also be because he’s talking American accent so much.

He’s amazing! I hope he gets more work outside of the boys. Wanna keep seeing him
I hafta say that, for the rest of my life, I will forever live in absolute terror of Homelander. That was a level of 'bad guy' I had never imagined before. But the humanity Antony brings to the character... the depth, layers, nuances... all come together to make him very very real and quite terrifying. I've honestly been putting off watching the new season, as well as being tempted to watch it... both because of Homelander. Lolz. WELL DONE and continued success!
Crazy he hasn't been on a chat show before, this guys acting is stellar and I'm really excited to see what he does after The Boys.

New Zealanders just act like this. 😂 Taika Waititi is like this too.
Okay, now I can't stop having goosebumps every time he laughing.
This the first interview I have seen where Antony Starr didn't have the ' I want to laser you' look towards the Host. Great job Seth!
Antony’s portrayal of Homelander is so layered and believably nuanced in its evil and heartbreak, that I was blown away seeing an interview clip with his genuine smile and banter-the difference is astounding! So I was happy to learn there was another show that he had been in (Banshee), and am catching up now. He’s an acting powerhouse, and I’m excited to see where his career choices take him next.
very cool of Seth to bring in a stray man!

such a lovely and humble person very good actor indeed.
He’s played the best anti-hero AND the best villain of the past TV decade.
He is a great actor. Not sure anyone else could play Homelander like he does. He nails the emotions and facial expressions perfectly.

Loved him in Banshee. Boys is crazy fun and Homelander can do anything 🎉
Give him an Emmy already, nobody else deserves it more than him!
How nice it must be to be a working actor, on set, giving a spite audition just bc u have to, and then so easily getting the job. Marvin milk actor’s story is much relatable-he was unemployed and needed this job so badly, tried really hard.
I'm scared everytime he laughs. Like he's about to rip someones throat out any moment.😅
It's Sheriff Hood! Banshee was soo good. I miss it so much. But I'm glad it ended when it did.
This dude is a legit chameleon, the range of his roles and his ability to physically transform...HIS FACE, somehow, is amazing.
Ok, after seeing this interview, I am definitely a fan ❤❤❤
Incredible actor, hope he gets all the recognition he deserves!
Emmy is loading for homelander, one of the best TV character ever written, so we'll justified by Anthony starr performance
I don't think I've ever seen an actor be so different from his character on TV. In the context of superhero characters, if Clark Kent maintained a bit of a thicker small town Kansas accent and with all the different mannerisms, and pitch in voice, I really could see most people totally not suspecting he was Superman. In this case, it makes Antony Starr an incredible actor.
The episode where he goes back to”home” was just an amazing performance.
Antony Starr and Chace Crawford did a hot ones where he was given three bottles of nut-based or oat based milk and he had to identify them by taste. Funny AF
Love the little zest he has! what a cool down to earth guy
