Bloodline was the first show I've seen him in. Just googled him and was shocked to find out he was Australian! Great American accent!

I love him saying he doesn’t really care about Daggett as a character, because he really wasn’t much of a memorable one, but he just loved the experience of working on a big movie. Wonderful enthusiasm.

There’s something so endearing about that lisp. Although his American accent has a lower-pitch that lisp makes him powerful yet vulnerable. Such understated brilliance.

His lisp seems less pronounced now than when he was young, it seems to me (I remember seeing him in the kids TV series "The Henderdon Kids" back when it first aired). I always found it a little surprising how both he and fellow lisper and co-star of "The Year My Voice Broke" Noah Taylor, managed to become the stars they did, given their noticeable lisps (and slightly odd looks, with their weak jaws). Taylor's lisp is even more noticeable. Of course, their talent at a fairly young age was very evident in that film, and talent takes precedence over commercial appeal in the looks department in Australia. That's why Australia has exported so nany great actors and actresses to the U.K. and the U.S. Apparently the two actors often get mistaken for each other by members of the public. I find that strange, as their faces aren't at all similar except for both having weak jaws that don't come forward enough so they seem to have rather pointy faces; that and brown hair. I think it's actually their lisp that makes some people mistake one for the other.

"i just went it and flipped a couple burgers" lmaaaaaaaao best line ever

His performance in Animal Kingdom is one of the best I've seen in the 21st century. It's probably why Hollywood casts him as a villain in every single movie they make. Too often movies portray psychopaths as charming and well spoken. He played one as most likely are: awkward, difficult to be around and devoid of any empathy.

I love how frank he is about his Dark Knight Rises character. Not the most interesting character, but he played him well and it was obviously a great role for him to have anyway.

It's about time that Ben Mendelsohn finally gets his due. He's always been a very underrated actor. Haven't seen him in The Outsider yet, but I will soon.

I could've watched another hour of this . One of my top actors of all time . His role in Bloodline season 1 is the best performance I've seen on a tv show . When I see his name in the cast I'm running to watch the film , don't even care what's it about .

Ben Mendelsohn has such a distinctive voice and it's great (also his acting is pretty good too). I'm glad he's been popping up more and more. I think Rogue One was the first time I really noticed him.

Would have liked to have heard about The Place Beyond the Pines as well!

I saw "Mississippi Grind" two times and loved it! Ben was great in it (and had a good rapport with Ryan).

Just saw him in Captain Marvel and just had to find out who played the part. He makes an impression in a relatively minor roll. Some acters just have it, and Ben Mendelsohn is such an actor, despite the alien make-up.

Known affectionately as Mendo in Australia, I’ve been a fan since seeing The Year My Voice Broke in high school.

I liked this but I was disappointed that "Darkest Hour" wasn't discussed. Ben Mendelsohn was terrific as George VI. Gary Oldman may have won the Oscar for playing Churchill, but Mendelsohn's performance was the one I couldn't get out of my mind after seeing the film.

I love, love Danny too. I remember watching Mississippi Grind thinking wow, who is this actor? And then went looking for something else he did. And Bloodline was just out. Bingo. What a great role.

This man killed it in Captain Marvel (2019).

Bane: Leave us. Daggett: No, stay here! I'm in charge. Bane: Do you feel in charge? Daggett: I've paid you a small fortune. Bane: And this gives you power over me? Daggett: What are you? Bane: I'm Gotham's reckoning. Here to end the borrowed time you've all been living on.

He don’t even need much screen time to be great. He has GOT to be a Bond Villain one day.

9:40 I love how Ben doesn't even have to say how much he loves what he does in this film.

loved you in "the outsider". absolutely incredible performance

I recommend also the whole series of Love my Way - Ben is in the last season - a great moving series overall with alot of realism to it i found

I remember watching him in movies since the 80s. We watched the Big Steal in high school for English class, was great.

he was FANTASTIC IN MISSISSIPPI GRIND ....best role . he was GREAT as down n out gambler #underrated movie

One of the greatest character actors of the modern era. His turn as Pope in Animal Kingdom is nuanced and chilling.

He's made it but still so humble! Amazing talent!
