With all your respect, the only brilliant person that deserved an Oscar got it, his name is Javier Braden. Tell me something, do you think Tommy or most of the actors in Hollywood could have done the acting that Javier did? I would be money, most can't. Not a whole lots of actors in Hollywood with the caliber of Brandon or Pacino. Even a great actor like Tom Hanks can't do that role.

Jones has a sharp mind and tremendous grasp of his craft. Great talent.

Yeah. It's more like an interrogation at times. Tommy (and others in interviews are clearly about to expand on their initial comments, when the interviewers interrupts and asks the obvious).

An absolutely great performance. Can't imagine anyone else in this part. Tommy Lee Jones is one of our finest actors. Lonesome Dove and No Country are two of my all time favorites. Tommy Lee Jones is responsible for that. A very intelligent, thoughtful man.

Charlie was a great interviewer long ago. But, he began to believe he knew more than he really did. So, he oddly began to interrupt his guests with out-of-touch comments which even made his guests frustrated. You can see it in TLJ’s face. Pure frustration.

A bad interviewer is greedy for screen time, so they go on and on with endless questions that have no substance--just so the camera stays on them. A good interviewer does research on the guest, asks pertinent, smart, concise questions, and then gets out of the way.

I think that if you were to consider this more like a podcast is today It becomes more acceptable. Interviewers like Sean from hot ones specifically ask questions that are going to draw out a long answer that will fill time. Skilled interviewers like Sean also specifically do not interrupt responses. I honestly think that this is more of a conversation than an interview. Now with that being said I would say that it was completely on accident when it is considered that in fact he was attempting to conduct an interview. For that point I agree with you that Charlie simply interrupts his interviewees too much.

Mr. Jones has earned his place as truly one of the very best film actors. There really haven’t been that many at his level of ability. Always a fascinating and incredibly believable performer.

"Read the screenplay, understand it as well as you can, do your best to find out what the director wants to see and make it possible in every way you can for him to see it". What a powerful description of the mission of a screen actor. Thank you Mr. Jones, I for my part have seen you do it over and over again in many movies. I love the way you remain transparent or non-existent as an actor. I see your character in the story, and not Tommy Lee Jones when I watch you perform in a movie scene. I admire your talent and hard work only after the movie. Thank you really, for the wonderful time you have given me and my beloved company when watching your movies.

Nobody loads a question like Charlie Rose. He's the biggest "tell-me-what-I-want-to-hear" interviewer of all time. Putz.

His portrayal of Howard Hughes back in the day is still in a class of its own ... a truly great actor

I was obsessed with this man ( in a good way), lol...back in the 1990's. I devoured all of his movies over and over again. Don't ask me how many times I watched "The Fugutive" remake with him and Harrison Ford. All these years later and I still remain in awe of him. A lot of that comes fromthe mystery surrounding him. He's always stayed out of the spotlight and off the of the covers of the tabloids somehow, and I love that about him. The mystery only makes him that much more intriguing to me.

West ( where I live ) and west central Texas (where Tommy is from ) is no place to sell BS. It may well have more soul per population than anywhere in the country. Lives by his own code, not really just a moral and honest local one that's all. Tommy makes us old Texans very proud as you can tell! We see some of the best qualities of ourselves in this man, he provides the rest on his own.

He is simple sublime.., I can’t not believe every word or breathe he takes… Never seen him in a bad scene… he must be a real character in life as well😂👍

"Islands in the Stream" has already been made into a movie, starring George C. Scott as "Thomas Hudson," the painter. The book contains some of Hemingway's best writing, in my opinion, especially about family and other human relationships. Edit: Released in 1977.

I've known "Country of old men a long time," and I adore his work with old men forever. First I had crush in a thousand years!

Again I am thankful that Rose is not on the air, not just for his behavior but that he was so pompous, so in love with his own voice and has such a puffed up ego that he never let his guest answer, never heard what they were saying. Compare that to Off Camera with Sam Jones where he let the guests talk.

First time I saw Tommy Lee Jones was in Coal Miner's Daughter I haven't seen all of his films but some was impressed with his intensity his demeanor and I'm not surprised that he's going into directing and screenwriting and I definitely am looking forward to seeing No Country for Old Men

I love the country down around San Saba. Love that beautiful river. Tommy Lee and I share a hatred of leaf blowers.

TOJ has at least in my simple bind a brilliant way of speaking which makes him so interesting. He is usage of iambic pentameter, his pauses, The way he presents himself with humbleness yet with a side dish of a kick your backside and you’ll know it but he doesn’t say it. It would be an honor to me if someday I could meet him in person but find him wonderful even from afar and enjoy what he does on screen to bring us entertainment at home. I have no idea what he’s like in real life but I have a feeling that he’s just as humble and not a bigot. Thank you for your entertainment on screen for all of us. God bless stay safe and healthy

Loved every movie this man made! One of my favorites was his character in Blown Away with Jeff Bridges

I would venture to say Tommy Lee is the most no nonsense actor in Hollywood. His expressions at award shows are priceless. Most of which I agree with when it involves the weak to the point of embarrassing jokes written for presenters.

If you get such a great actor like Tommy Jones don't get an insufferable interviewer like Charlie Rose.

At the end. He led him perfectly with his ramblings… I wish he would have asked at the Rene something to the effect of “and what is your reflection on the journey/ or what would you say looking back?”

Charlie Rose is so insufferable. He asks Tommy a question, and when Tommy answers, Rose says "Exactly." As if Charlie was the teacher giving a test and the audience needs Charlie to verify that Tommy's opinion is correct, because Charlie is the authority on everything. And when Tommy says he knows the author who wrote the book and has read all of his books, Charlie has to immediately say he knew that. Charlie can't subordinate himself to an interview subject, no matter who it is. I'm glad he got what was coming to him.
