I can’t even begin to describe how much of his acting on leftovers affects me, he absolutely deserves an Emmy for each season!

Loved his acting in The Leftovers! He deserved an Emmy.
I find it comforting that he values the longevity of a project's lifespan versus its immediate box office returns -- especially considering The Leftovers. It's criminal that even in this interview it was only granted a small stub of the video. It's the single greatest piece of television I've ever had the pleasure of seeing and I hope as the years unfold, it'll also continue to facilitate more supporters and further prove his point.

I completely 1,000,000% agree with you. I'm only doing my 3rd rewatch of the Leftovers currently, but I think back on it pretty often. I really loved the juxtaposition with music against PERFECT cinematic edits - not only the original score which is amaze, but also those like classical-orchestra versions of Pixies' 'Where is my Mind?' The best forever and I'll always hold that opinion!!

YES! When Gladys was grabbed i was kind of glad, given the pain the GR were causing...but when she was brutally stoned to death, not so much. The twists after that were certainly a surprise and I didn't think they'd be able to turn me on Patti either, but they did. Wonderful show.
"The reception is not as important as the endeavor" well said.
Wish he spoke more about Leftovers! Greatest show I've ever seen!
I’m so glad I can read the comments and find people that love the leftovers as much as me.

I love him, the Leftovers is by far the best series I have seen. I would get so emotional every episode. The two scenes that hit me the most is when Kevin eulogizes Patty with Matt. The second, when he sings Homeward Bound. Fact: They wanted Kevin (Justin) to sing Just Like a Prayer by Madonna, but they could not get the rights. I am so happy they did not get the rights, Homeward Bound was spot on for that episode and it's season.
Mulholland Drive, Maniac and THE LEFTOFVERS mwah a trifecta of almighty greatness
I LOVED him in Leftovers. That show is brilliant.
Mulholland Dr is my favourite movie. It’s one of those films where you notice new things and form new theories almost every single viewing. Truly a masterpiece.
I ♥️ this guy! The Leftovers is one of the best shows ever. Just watching him convey Kevin’s inner thoughts and demons silently is a master class in acting. Love Tropic Thunder as well.
This dude has terrific hair.
Theroux is always such a strong presence in whatever he does. I recently saw him in the Netflix sci-fl flick Mute and he was brilliant. Nearly walked off with the whole movie. Excellent actor.
I came to appreciate his craft watching his acting on The Leftovers. It’s mesmerizing. That series and that story changed my perspective on many things. Great tv show. Great actor. Awesome writing.

Yeah...I was hoping he would at least mention that little film by Greg Berlanti. I also took notice and was impressed by his acting skills with his small supporting role. And the film wasn't even displayed on his career timeline in the interview. 🤔
Bummer he didn't mention his brief stint in Six Feet Under, wasn't much of a part but you can really feel he pulled the absolute max out of it. That + Mulholland Drive introduced me to Justin, been faithfully following his career ever since.

He did a great job being as confused as the viewer was when it started to get crazy, and I think a lot of men could relate to the character's inner struggles. Season 2 was basically a midlife crisis mixed with loads of psychedelic drugs lmao.
This was great!! If @vanityfair sees this please ask Katey Sagal to do this
Justin is a really cool guy and great actor
Now i understand why he sang Homeward Bound in Leftovers. If I had a house like that, I’d also have a desire to return
Just watched The Leftovers all 3 seasons in like 3 days....I can't believe I hadn't even heard of it before!! It was amazing. If you even slightly like Lost, or Severance, you MUST watch The Leftovers, but it's a slow start....you gotta stick with it, it's 100% worth it; you'll be rewarded for making it through some slow first episodes with the way they pay the story off.
"Why not...couldn't catch 'em?"😂 I do believe this is my FAVORITE line in the entire film...maybe, of all time! I hold my breath waiting for her to say it.

I was also curious if they only cover specific movies, or go though his career and only select highlights for the finished edit which would be rather subjective depending on the producer. Younger people would not even get the hysteria of American Psycho at the time of its release and it would have been nice to hear Mr. Theroux's thoughts on it considering how it is viewed now. It would be neat if they made the complete interviews available to VF subscribers. I might even sign up if that ever happened.
so talented!!
I hope he gets a chance to show his film in his version.
Romy and Michele is my favorite!!!!

What an amazing filmography!! The Leftovers was. Life changing and in a league of its own. Not to sound cliche but it is a MASTERPIECE!! Justin's masculine vulnerability as Kevin was beautiful to watch. A man's man going through all kinds of crisis. Existential, spiritual, emotional, physical. He should have a shelf full of trophy's for playing the emotionally wounded yet STRONG Kevin Garvey!! EVERYONE NEEDS TO WATCH THE LEFTOVERS.

I first saw him in Parks and Rec and then I saw him in The Leftovers, but I did not even recognize he was the same person until I looked up his IMDb and I was blown away thinking, "Justin?!? No way!!" Those characters and their styles are so different. Kinda sad they left out that role in this, but also it was smaller compared to the others so that's understandable.
