Have you noticed that Reddington sometimes tilt his head to the side just like Elizabeth has been doing. Hmmm?

He's right about Clark Middleton's character, Glen. Outside of Red, Glen was the best character in the series. One thing I quickly realized about Glen was that while Reddington could walk in on any Prime Minister, any King, any crime boss in the world and they would stop whatever they were doing, Red always had to take a number and wait at the DMV when he needed to see Glen. Those little scenes always completely cracked me up. When Glen showed up in a show, it was like Reggie Jackson (yes, I'm old enough to remember) coming to the plate in a ballgame -- you didn't get up for anything until the scene with Glen was over. Other than Red's relationship to Dembe, his relationship to Glen was the most complex and enjoyable to watch. The tribute episode with Huey Lewis was as quirky and as delightful as Glen himself.

He is just superb, funny, cunning and loveable x

LOVE Raymond Reddington you play an amazing role James!! We LOVE it PLEASE keep it going!!

The lengthy road James Spader has taken in his career as an actor has seen a major evolution in his take on acting. I personally, as a former stage actor look at James and see someone more dynamic now than who he was in let's say, Stargate. His ability to deliver lines more fluid now is apparent. He can rattle off his dialogue as if it is coming off the top of his head. Very different than some of the things he did in Stargate where lines seemed more scripted. Not that he was not a good actor then, he always has been. I look at his style and have to ask if he is a method actor.

James Spader is James Spader there’s no lie to that , very good, smart and intelligent actor

I love the way you tell stories,the delivery, the timing and the flair for the dramatic.the way you keep calm while your life is in danger is out of these world good.

I love James Spader on The Blacklist, The last season of The Practice and especially on Boston Legal. He plays his roles so awesome. Both William Shanter and James Spader did such a great job in Boston Legal and made the show what it was. I think he is one of the best actors ever.... There's only one James Spader......

James Spader like "Danny Crane" AKA William Shatner is a unique actor, before Boston Legal I had lost interest in law shows. Then appeared James Spader and together with William Shatner revived a strong admiration for the acting skills of both men. As did James Spader bring those same skills to "The Black List" Great interview this is the ONLY reason I have stayed with Netflix!

James Spader and Hisham Tawfiq became my favorite actors after seeing the Blacklist♥

His voice🔥🔥

The first few series were absolutely outstanding but I most admit, when Liz's story became the pivotal storyline my interest waned significantly. I continued to watch purely for Mr Spader. He could insult me in any manner of ways but his voice makes me melt so I'd enjoy it!

Being able to binge-watch all 8 seasons a lot of things are answered that are normally looked at as mysteries. The question of who Red is to Lizzy is answered by season 4, it is just that you have to watch them quickly to be able to remember even the placement of some words in a scene. ie, are you Elizabeths father - No, is Elizabeth your daughter - Yes, two opposite answers but both can be correct. Clark Middleton created a quirky character, Glen would make Red wait to talk to him all the while enjoying watching Red squirm.

He needs to write a book about negotiations!

honestly, this is the 1st TV series that I've ever watched, wanted to watch, and been waiting to watch at age 62. Well, I never like watching TV at all because it wastes my time. Thanks to blacklist, I now become one of those viewers. :D Yes, the 1st episode got me! I miss Clerk. Nice job James, and of course the rest of the crew. All is good!
