Sean Connery made me enormously proud to be Scottish, and Ewan McGregor seems to be becoming a more versatile version of Sean Connery, although, Connery was sexier by far, but what a talented actor Ewan McGregor is. I have just binged on that show about Halston, still to watch the final couple of episodes, and have to say, I was astonished at how well McGregor performed in that role. I do believe he has exactly the same voice as Halston, having seen an interview of the real Halston. I love how friendly and honest this interview is. Ewan has always been thought of, here in Scotland, as being very down to earth and approachable. and I think that comes across in this interview. I would recommend watching his performance in Halston, an American fashion designer that I have to say, I had never heard of before this series, despite being 56 years old now.

Thats because he's an actor first and a movie star second and this is why British actors win the bulk of awards.. A straight male American actor would have much difficulties in the role and a Black actor wouldn't touch it out of fear the Black community would drag him.. The one Black actor in the mini series Sullivan Jones isn't well known yet, so he can get away with a gay sex scene.

But I think your assertions vis-a-vis US actors are unfair, even if based in some reality. Also, things are changing on that front, and have been for awhile.

I made the mistake of watching 'Halston' around 10:30 last night when I originally intended to watch the first episode, then go to sleep by midnight. It didn't happen. I got hooked and watched all 5 episodes until 4:00 in the morning. Great performance from McGregor! Of course, he's never delighted a bad performance. He's one of those actors who's automatically good in every role he takes. Hope he'll snag another Emmy & Golden Globe nomination and win for his performance here.

A line from Halston that stands out for me was when he had his first angry, friendship-ending argument with one of his best friends and after she stormed out, Halston asks his lover, "Is it the cocaine"? He thought he could stop before it got out of control, but it was already too late.

I've never seen a performance where the actor is beyond the character. He was so amazing in Halston. It really blew me away his performance. Am I'm a straight sports guy:)

Ewan is one talented actor, incredibly forceful and spot-on as Halston…

one of my favorite actors..and honestly, there were times during some of the scenes in 'Halston', where Ewan disappeared, and you felt like you were observing Halston in real time. It was eerie.

Brilliant performance by Ewan Mcgregor as Roy Halston, worth an Emmy.

Ewan McGregor brilliantly embodied Halston! Amazing performance!

Halston was a great mini series, very enjoyable to watch.

He has all my admiration. Not only he play the role marvelous but he became halston!

Ewan nailed this role. The entire cast was fabulous and loved this series!

I’ll never forget seeing Evan first time at the indie theater, in Trainspotting. It’s been so great to see his career unfold and the longevity. He also nailed this role, I am obsessed

He did a great job on Halston

I can’t wait for KENOBI to stream. I’ll be on the edge of my seat

His Halston voice came through.

Ewan McGregor is the only actor who immediately made me start crying when he started crying in The Impossible.

He is so lovely and has been so unsung for so long!

Yes wonderful actor, but in this interview I just loved his laugh, so heartfelt and full of joy.

What a mesmerising performance as HALSTON! Binge watched the set in two days.

Couldn't afford to purchase a Halston, but I'd do my darkest to copy his designs. Had the prettiest closet in my town.

Ewan`s portayal was so convincing I found myself looking at old interviews of Halston......fasinating

What a fantastic performance. He conveyed so much humanity and showed so much strength in Halston’s loyalty to his personal friends such as Liza Minnelli. Ewan has a lot of humility and is a great actor.
