Saul was great in Unforgiven. His character arc from being smug and full of himself as he kept company with famous gunslingers, to the abject terror of a man who knows he's in over his head when he sees what an uncontrollable force of nature Munny is at the end, was a wonderful piece of acting.

​@@willynaylor7356Saul rubinek rocks

One of my all-time favorite movies. I'm so glad I saw it on the big screen.

I saw this film in 1995 as a young kid. Probably didn’t understand it enough to appreciate the gritty realism. I have seen it a few more times since. Each time it seems more realistic and intense. A great film that that never looses its dramatic impact.

I've got to give Saul credit as well as Clint for listening. Unforgiven is such a great movie because it deconstructs the traditional western that had been produced by Hollywood. While doing that, it adds in a bit of the dirty and gritty underbelly of the west. The change to W.W.'s character allows the character to be a stand in for the audience and helps bring the audience along. W.W. starts out knowing the romanticized west, which most people were familiar with from movies and TV. The audience had seen enough movies/TV and W.W. had read enough books. This makes the confrontation more impactful. Because while W.W. wets himself, the audience knows that if they step out of a bar into a face full of barrels, they might not just wet themselves, they would likely soil themselves as well. This helps emphasize that things just got real and that ensures that the audience knows this isn't the west we were used to seeing. There is little black and white and far more gray area. Again, hats off to Saul for coming up with the change and hats off to Clint for going along with it.

The balls of Saul Rubinek telling Clint Eastwood he thinks he should do another take! Loved this bit of reminiscing. Thanks for uploading.

This was an excellent interview. Actually better than an interview. Truly educational and insightful about the process, the project, and the man, Mr. Eastwood, and your perspective of it all and working with him. Thank you, Mr. Rubinek!

I'm not trying to be contrarian but aren't character actors supposed to be underated?

Clint is astonishing. I wish I could be half as chill and in the moment as him.

This film had four giants of acting from a similar generation in Eastwood, Hackman, Freeman, and Harris. Sometimes collecting that much talent in one place doesn't work, but they each played their parts so well in this one, that it just lifted the entire picture to another level. Saul Rubinek was also extremely good, as he is in all his roles.

This is the best interview with Clint Eastwood that has ever existed. WOW!

He’s brilliant in Prime Video’s "Hunters", & the "Jesse Stone" films directed by/starring Tom Selleck. The more films I’ve seen starring Saul Rubinek, the more I appreciate his talent. Thanks for sharing this!

I don't care how many roles this guy plays, he will always be the collector of unique Items from Star Trek TNG.

I've always liked the characters Saul has played over the years in all the different shows/movies His insights are terriffic.

Sounds like Saul got Clint in a time of his life before he settled into a curmudgeon who wouldn’t offer anyone a second take unless they literally screwed their lines. Sorry, I don’t think that’s someone who ‘understands artists’ as most actors want another couple takes, regardless of how innately talented they are, and they’re right to want them… and he doesn’t give it to them. One of the few that big in the industry who doesn’t. Says it’s a waste of time. As if one of the most important aspects of making a movie in the first place (shooting it) would be a waste of time to get right. And it is an approach that can work to bring out something good in some performers in some situations, but which overall has not brought out the best in his actors over the years and is probably a big factor in why his flop ratio is as high as it is even while being able to get some of the best actors/ crew in the business.

​@JK-ku4ok , it isn't up to the actor to want another take. That's the director's call. If the director is happy with the take... that's it. I was on a set once where the star called "Cut!" In the middle of the take. The director was furious - and rightfully so. He called the "star" out. In front of everyone - told him to never do that again. The director said (and I agree) that it isn't the actor's job to decide whether the take is good. The actor's job is to stay in the scene until the director ends the take.

A wonderful interview of a wonderful actor. Mr. Rubinek's observation of Eastwood being a jazz musician first--and that skill spilling into director duties--is spot on: all truly great band leaders recruit musicians and allow them to *shine as individuals* within the ensemble.

I remember him doing a "collector" in a Star Trek next Generation episode where his just pinned that type of amoral self centered monster whose money and greatness by association, with his acquisitions, enabled him to hide from what he was. A true blend of intelligence and talent.

Mr. Rubinek is one heck of a great actor. If you portray a villain and you hate him throughout the movie, you do a heck of a job. He took a pathetic slimy coward character and one ends up hating the weasel he is. That is I think the ultimate goal of an actor, to convince you either to love him or hate his character and forget he is acting. A great performance he gave in Unforgiven.

Letting the actors imagine their own take on their characters makes sense when they are Richard Harris, Morgan Freeman, Gene Hackman and Saul Rubinek. These four are well expereanced professional actors.

Wow! I saw Saul Rubinek in the final vignette of the Ballad of Buster Scruggs and assumed he was a genuine Frenchman from his mannerisms and accent, but it was merely superb acting. It was a bit surprising to hear him speaking plain English in this KZread clip. Now I’ll have to watch Unforgiven.

I've seen him several in films and televised series. He's one of those actors that didn't hit their stride until their later acting years. Definitely underrated and deserving of more recognition.

I believe Saul put together a very good character for this film. #1 His character was not like any other character, and he was authentic. #2 The thing that caught my eye was the fact that he WAS nervous, timid, and scared, but trying the best he could to hide it. He was seeing and experiencing things that he almost couldn't believe, and of course he wanted to be on the side that was winning because he wanted to STAY ALIVE. His reactions were brilliant too. I could sense him saying to himself, "Wait a minute here, I'm just a writer. I'm not a gun slinging COWBOY! Somebody, please rescue me! I caught Saul in another film, and he was JUST the OPPOSITE. Excellent work, POT-NER.

Love the story of david peoples sitting with clint screening the movie of his untouched decade-plus old script and not a word is changed. Legendary

Rubinek's scenes were some of the best in the movie and what made those scenes was Eastwood cutting to Rubinek's reactions. If you ever watch the movie again, look for it.

Still my favorite western. An incredible movie.

Stole every scene he was in on unforgiven. When he played a lawyer on Frasier he was bloody brilliant.

I really enjoyed his work in the Jesse Stone TV Series. He's a dang good actor.

A tremendously underrated actor. He brings so much to even smaller roles.

Excellent insight. And Mr Rubinek is a vital character in this story. A film well done by all involved, and most grateful for the 3rd take suggestion. One of my most prized pieces of theater in my collection as well.

I had the bucket list -dream come true opportunity to meet Clint in a small venue film festival in Paso Robles CA in 2008. I can say without reserve that he was the most gracious, friendly, down to earth celebrity to each and every attendee. He spent almost 2 hrs signing autographs, taking pics, chatting. Class act all the way, and yes, a quiet presence.
