A real refreshing contrast to the pouty, would-be-seductive way that I've seen many of the younger actresses in the series present for the photoshoot... her approach just seemed so much more genuine AND dignified?

    Viola is clearly informed and educated about her craft beyond her experience in movies, and you can tell Tom is learning so much from her. She is generous enough to share her knowledge and he is interested in listening to her. I mean, how could you not? She speaks slowly and confidently because she knows what she has to say truly matters. You can tell she loves what she does everyday and she’s proud of her accomplishments. How admirable.

    Oh absolutely and I also think it's beyond the education too. From the many interviews I watch her, Viola has come to a place where she is clear about what her craft is about. She calls it "human whispering". The ability to be truthful about the human experience in each character she plays. Her main concern is to be absolutely honest and truthful to that and even though it's challenging for many reasons, she aims to ensure that that's what she does. It's her authenticity that exudes through, the way she walks and talks is so authentic to her spirit we can't help but love her and learn from her. She is rooted in that. I love that so deeply. These are some of the things I have learned from her.

    To those who have commented on my post, you are extremely mistaken and misinformed. I find it so utterly shocking how my words can be twisted by such judgemental and accusatory notions. I am actually biracial but you would not know that (and I would not be surprised if you concluded that I feel superior in some sort of way for being partially white, which is completely false). I hate racial discrimination, it is the most foul and ungodly ideology to ever exist. So before you attack and twist my words, know the facts. My comment was written because I admire her as a person, it was a comment in reflection of how I wish to be. If her exact words flowed from the mouth of lets say Meryl Streep, I would have commented the exact same thing. So please, take several seats and do not twist my words into what your accusatory mindset assumes. Thank you and goodnight!

    It's funny. Tom Hanks has been in our minds, in the cultural zeitgeist, for far longer than Viola Davis (I'd seen her in minor roles during the 2000s, but she only entered my radar with Doubt), but I think she carries just as much weight as he does as far as acting goes. Maybe she hasn't had as much variety in terms of the parts she gets, but the same level of skill and professionalism. They are both incredibly dynamic.

    Of the “Actors on Actors” videos I’ve seen, these two have the best chemistry. They’re so natural together and sound like they’re having a conversation rather than interviewing each other. They should do a movie together or maybe a TV show or miniseries when Viola is done with HTGAWM. Been a fan of Tom since “Big” and loved him ever since. I only found out about about Viola since HTGAWM (and Suicide Squad), but that was enough to make me a fan. Two amazing actors 👍
