Alan on Charlie Rose

Mar 02, 2012 12:46

I come bearing another interview! This is from just a few days ago on Charlie Rose.

For some reason these interview questions make me a little anxious, they sound too much like essay questions from my English classes, and I feel bad for Alan for a moment having to think hard to put something together on the spot. But of course he's a pro :)

Haha, glad it's not just me! I understand Charlie is trying to give viewers and potential actors some insight into Alan's process, but for me it feels like a nightmare midterm I forgot to study for ;)

I got the impression that Charlie was on the verge of squeeing. He was clearly enthused about the subject and the guest. They both mentioned previous appearances by Alan on the show, and while A.R. seemed calm and thoughtful, Charlie seemed quite pumped. But then I think he loves talking to actors, and if he could choose from any job in the world (aside from the one he's in), his choice might be acting. Good interview; thanks for posting.

I don't watch Charlie regularly, but I do like his style. And he certainly doesn't ask frivolous questions ;) Alan has been on his show once before. That interview is on YouTube as well (my girlfriend got me the DVD of it one Christmas).

Charlie did much this time than the 2002 interview. Alan, of course, was perfect.

LOL I was a bit puzzled until I saw your second comment. Maybe he wasn't as awestruck this time. ;)

You're welcome! I don't consider listening to him talk for that long a hardship at all ;)

LOL, I tend to listen to every youtube video of Alan interviews I can. I love the Arts and Leisure one, and now this one has become my favorite too!

I really liked the Charlie Rose interview mainly because he asked questions that Alan gave thought to before answering. As someone else said, 'non-frivolous' ones. And I feel that Alan gave honest answers, which was wonderful!
