I first saw him in Bloodline and was just captivated by his talent. And I’ve never seen him in anything since then where I didn’t absolutely love his performance
This guy is great in anything that he's in. A true chameleon of an actor.
This is why Marvillain is the least of Captain Marvel's worries. It's because her newest (and greatest) threat isn't in space. It was right here on Earth the whole time, and without Oscar, there is no one who can stop his evil plan to destroy everyone that gets in his way.
You were fantastic in animal kingdom mate masterpiece
Blimey good actor. Hoo boy!
What about your role as King George VI in The Darkest Hour?
No Place beyond The Pines?? Shame.
Great movie, if you like a little deep alternative look on things.
Una and Babyteeth 🔥❤️
9:40 I love how Ben doesn't even have to say how much he loves what he does in this film.
Derek Cianfrance is one of the most exciting filmmakers ever to grace this planet. He’s only made four motion pictures and one of them is The Place Beyond the Pines, starring Ben Mendelsohn
Killing Them Softly, Starred Up
He is awesome in animal kingdom !!
no mention of "Mississippi Grind"? He was AMAZING in that film!!
Whenever I hear his voice, I just laugh thinking of talos 😂
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Que lindo es!!!!!❤️
Killing Them Softly? 🙁
"Awsome"
He's made it but still so humble! Amazing talent!
sounds like his lisp is getting worse with age
"Whateveeeer….."
If you like Drama shows, watch Bloodline on Netflix. Mendelsohn's character 'Danny' is one of the best characters I've ever seen. It's weird, he's like a regular, kinda tortured soul type dude, but he's almost magnetic. (Is that a saying?). He is a great actor and again, the character just pulls you in.
Danny Rayburn is one of the best characters I have ever seen put to screen, even surpassing Cranston in my opinion just for that first season alone. Such a shame barely anyone watched it … but glad he won an award for it. So deserved.
A great actor. Starred Up, Mississippi Grind, Killing Me Softly, The Place Beyond The Pines… and he was in the best of the new Star Wars Movies.
Why is he the villain lately
If he's in a film, I will go out of my way to watch it.
9:40 I think I'm falling in love 🥺
What about Killing Them Softly. Such an underrated movie, and his performance was outstanding,
Bit disappointed that there is no mention of his roles in Mississippi Grind or The Place Beyond the Pines, those were excellent performances and far more nuanced characters than some of his more "blockbuster" roles…
Known affectionately as Mendo in Australia, I’ve been a fan since seeing The Year My Voice Broke in high school.
He can play any genre . Loved bloodline.
I love this man, such an incredible actor. Bloodline is an amazing show and Ready Player One is hands down my favorite movie.
Where's "Killing Them Softly"?
In my opinion, he’s perfect at playing the “incompetent villain.”
Rogue One – Ben you made this film, well done mate.
Starred up!!??!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!
not mentioned here..great Australian series he was in prior to Animal Kingdom, Love My Way .. 2004-2007.. played another dark character. top series if you can find it
He was really great in Starred Up
He was absolutely amazing as Russell in Killing Them Softly…kinda freaked me out tho. Great actor+nice guy
Never heard of him til I started watching the Outsider series. Had no idea he's Australian. Love him in the series.
Great in Bloodline. Awful in Ready Player One.
I find it quite annoying how people nowadays think it's okay to label actors, like x would make a good villain in this or that. Why limit someone with immense talent to a certain kind of roles. Ben Mendelsohn is a beast of an actor & nails every role he plays.
WE STAND HERE AMIDST MY ACHIEVEMENT, NOT YOURS!
I loved him in Lost River, some of the most spine chilling acting I've ever seen!!! 👏👏👏
Loved him in The Outsider
