Pirates of The Caribbean is the best example of how to mix CGI with practical effects. Dead Man's Chest and At World's End haven't aged a day, the Kraken and Maelstrom scenes scare me for being so well done... The ships and cannons give me goosebumps every time they're on screen... And of course Davy Jones, truly the best CGI character ever created, mixing the great VFX artwork with Bill Nighy's brilliant performance.

His dry wit and perfect delivery are pure joy to watch. What a masterful storyteller and actor.

He's a wonderful storyteller. "About Time" inspired me to want to see everything he's done. So talented. Loved this.

I was in downtown one day, and Bill Nighy just strolled by with an umbrella in his hand. I was like "Was that just....?" It was. Got a picture with him, and he was every bit as cool and amazing in that short 10 second interaction as I had hoped he would be. Been a long time fan of amazing acting and his voice is just a thrill and a character all on of it's own. His finishing remarks on acting feels more educational than anything anybody else has said before. Very eloquent.

I bloody love Bill Nighy, the finest actor in any scene but its played so subtly that you only appreciate it after the fact. So likeable.

What an actor. He has played so many different types of characters.He nails them all. Menacing, serious, funny, heartfelt. His range is wide. Some of my favorites movies he has done are Underworld, Pirates of the and About Time.

Bummed they didn't talk about Pirate Radio, one of my favorite films of his. Phenomnal actor.

Bill is just an English film treasure and one of the most humble actors in the business. His roles are always pivotal yet secondary to the lead. But when you look back you realise that without his performance or support to the lead the film would loose its heart. He is both funny and so dark, no wonder he got on so well with Johnny Depp! Thank you Bill for your awesomeness!!!

Oh man, his closing staments are simply beautiful! Can't get enough of Bill Nighy in my movies :)

A true everyman of the industry, he can make any kind of movie more interesting by just being in them. Great comedy timing and also sweet and creepy when he needs to be. Deserves so much more recognition than he's ever got. I'm a fan since Still Crazy!

Ah, so glad you invited him! Pride is among my very favourite films. What an underrated gem. Everyone in it is just wonderful and the story is of course too! Beautiful and heart-breaking and uplifting, all at the same time. Also, if you wander around London long enough, you will run into Bill cos he does as he says, walks where he needs to.

One of my favorite actors. He is fantastic!

I didn’t realize how many movies of his I’ve seen! What a great actor

I love Bill! I could listen to him all day, everyday and twice Sunday. His mannerisms, voice and talent all rap up into this very lovely person. I love the characters he plays and catch myself smiling. I hope to one day meet this brilliant actor. His quirky gestures and those moments he snorts, I'd buckle over laughing and possibly pee my pants! You're awesome Bill!

Loved this interview! One of my favorite actors. I have watched About Time 4-5 times, even own the DVD. I saw it in the movie theater and when I got into my car I sobbed for at least 15 minutes solid. So moving! Bill Nighy's acting has never let me down. I wish him many more years of it if that's what he wants.

Bill is one of my favorite/favourite actors. If I am unsure about viewing a film and then I see that Bill Nighy is in the cast I no longer question it, I watch it.

I adore this man. This turned in to a free masterclass.

Probably the best, most sincere acting reflections ever.

Only reason i rewatch Pirates of the caribbean again and again is Davy Jones he is just WOW! Perfection

I absolutely adore Bill Nighy. One of the most charming and charismatic people, and you get the impression it is completely genuine. I had a stylist friend who worked with him in London many years ago, and she says he was just the nicest person ever.

Such an inspirational being and a great actor. Always loved his speech, tone, his poise. Bill Nighy is one of the greats.

One of the most underrated actors today. He's great in everything he does.

Love Actually is one of my favorite movies of all time

Loved him in Love Actually & he was amazing and he was amazing in Pirates! He’s a regular Joe soap actor.

This guy is great in absolutely everything. One of the best (and most welcome) supporting actors in history.

Nighy is among the finest actors of his generation - and his intelligence and depth come across in every performance. About time is one of my favorite films

it would be nice watching him talked about his role in The Boat that Rocked :D

His performance in Living was subtle and wonderful. Beautiful movie. He was humble and made self-deprecating jokes at the premiere's Q&A. Really appreciated hearing him speak.

About Time has to be my favourite movie of all time. It's fantastic!

Thank you for this great interview with this wonderful actor.

I love Bill's three comments at the end. They are good takeaways for dealing with random bad thoughts, with self-doubt, and letting go of all that, anyway. Anyway, he first caught my eye in the '90s starring against Caroline Quentin in "Kiss Me Kate" - loved that series and he injected life into the plots.

My favorite movies with Bill: Still Crazy, Wild Target , About Time ❤️

I've loved this guy in everything he's been in I really hope he is in many many more things that doctor who episode always always gets me and makes me cry just brilliant

No Pirate Radio? I love that movie (though the ending was a bit too tidy), and I loved Nighy's character in that film. He (the character) was a bit larger than life and not believable, but Nighy made him believable in the performance.

with how apprihensive he was he created my favourite and one of the most iconic characters in Davey Jones

Wait wait wait... Bill Ny? Have I been saying "Nigh-hee" and it's just Ny?? We have two awesome guys named Bill Nye on the planet at the same time? Bonus!!

Love him voicing "Most Scenic Railway Journeys" and, more recently, "Most Scenic River Journeys". (And of course that he has made Norway and is quite proud of that

I really loved his portrayal of Scrimgeour in HP vs the book. Scared but really trying his best, and not focused on politics but really just trying to hold everything together as best as he can.

Hard to love Bill Night more but this interview does it

I loved him as Davy Jones, when he is shown shaken down when he sees Calypso... I shook

I'd love to see him talking about his iconic movies like the boat that rocked and strange fruit.

Davy Jones was his most amazing performance. The accent, the mannerizms, the feel. 10000^ spot on.

I know him mostly for The boat that rocked (or Good morning England, for french people like me) so it was weird to not see this movie somewhere. Loved to hear everything he had to say about his career though !
