Wished he touched on Bourne Identity real quick. One of my favorite cameo appearances ever. Two minutes of action followed by two minutes of dialogue before he dies and it was the best scene in the entire Bourne series. "Look at this. Look at what they make you give."

Yup. The scene that stuck with me the most, by leagues. "That guy with the glasses" - later on I'd learn who Clive Owen was - was just seared in my brain. It was heartbreaking to watch his character and the way he just... he really conveyed pain and how lonely he was. That was an absolute "Wait a minute I gotta find out more about that guy" moment for me

Could listen to him speaking for hours. Not only the accent but eloquence. Children of Men is my top 10 fave films. Closer I’ve watched over & over & it still haunts me. Absolutely brilliant!

I could listen to Clive Owen read my car's driver manual, a banking user agreement, volumes of the Chicago Manual of Style... his voice is 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽

Clive Owen is a workhorse of an actor, much like Mark Strong. Always put maximum effort into whatever they do

One of the most underrated, underplayed actor in our time.

Only 2 seasons of the Knick is criminal

One of my favourite actors who will always have my respect for children of men. He made theo feel so real and relatable in that world, he needs to give himself some credit.

Nice interview with a great actor. Should've included his 2001 BMW commercials/mini-movies with famous directors, actors and composers that were only available online: "The Hire" was the best one.

One of the great actors of the early 21st century. Love his films, namely Children of Men!

The Knick was simply amazing.

My word, he's been in some movies/TV shows. Always loved him but really enjoying Monsieur Spade at the moment, hopefully there's more to come. One of our finest.

Phenomenal actor. Always been a massive fan ❤

So glad to see him working again.

We need more Clive Owen on the big screen!😢

Such class act! I loved the way he speaks so glowingly of the directors and actors he's worked with. I remember Croupier and the buzz was Owen might play James Bond.

I opened this not knowing for sure that Closer was going to be discussed, and I was ecstatic when it came up. Probably my favorite movie of all time.

"Croupier" is hugely underrated. Similarly, "Hard Eight".

hes sooooo underrated.

Monsieur Spade is great. It really works, I hope enough people see it that it can get another series/season.

Croupier still remains one of my faviourite films!

This was actually really fun to watch. Didn't realize Clive is so passionate about acting and his views on different roles and movies.

Plus the BMW shorts were great too - they deserve a mention. John Woo's "Hostage" & "Beat The Devil" etc.

Mr. Oven is really a very smart and comprehensive person. He talks about all the projects he is involved in with a really inclusive candor. I appreciate that.

For me Chancer is one of the best tv dramas I've ever seen, such a great cast, i feel it has been forgotten, I've never seen it repeated on tv, i have to rely on my dvd box set.

Shame they didn't include Gosford Park, he and Helen Mirren have the standout roles in one of the best and largest ensemble casts ever put together for a film.
