00:00If I wasn't an actor, I would be doing a hard time.

00:06The Hollywood Reporter's Actors' Roundtable is about to drop, and we're giving you a special

00:10preview. The latest episode of our signature Roundtable series, Off Script with the Hollywood

00:15Reporter, features Coleman Domingo of Ruston, Robert Downey Jr. of Oppenheimer, Paul Giamatti

00:20of The Holdovers, Mark Ruffalo of Poor Things, Andrew Scott of All of Us Strangers, and Jeffrey

00:26Wright of American Fiction. The thing that I have come to value above all other things

00:32in this stuff that we do, and it's the collaboration. It's the people that I have the opportunity

00:38to do it with. All the time where I wasn't sort of more, what's the word, I suppose,

00:44recognizable, I never felt like I was failing, really. I was always just so delighted to be

00:49working, and then I suppose when you get a bit more choice, I never really think that

00:54I was, I'm kind of, was winning, you know. You have your dreams, and then those start

01:00to become realized, but they're not what you thought it was going to be. At some point,

01:05you know, it gets away from you. During the hour-long sit-down moderated by THR's

01:11Scott Feinberg, the actors cover everything from their latest film projects.

01:15For me, it was the story of this man who's all of a sudden burdened with the responsibilities

01:20of family. I mean, you guys have talked about, you know, how these things, in fact, my mom

01:26passed not too short, not too long before I got that script. And so it was, you know,

01:32the caretaking.

01:34Honestly, there's those roles that we, I don't know if we wish for, but we hope for,

01:39that we were able to give everything. And I know that I've given everything in the 32 years

01:45that I've been in this industry, from regional theaters to off-Broadway to writing to direct,

01:48you name it, it's in this film.

01:51To their most notable and favorite roles.

01:53Because there was no real surety that this was even going to take off, Iron Man was like

01:58a second-tier hero. They kind of let the lunatics run the asylum for a little while. And we,

02:05so it was a completely an indie approach to a genre movie to begin with.

02:09That was the strange fulfillment of a deep dream.

02:12Seriously?

02:12To be an orangutan, to be an ape in Planet of the Apes, was, if that had been it for

02:19me, I would be, I would die happy.

02:21Well, this is where I'm kind of gone.

02:21I couldn't believe I was going to be able to play a talking orangutan. And my agents were

02:25like, don't you want to be a human so they can see your face? And I was like, if you

02:29tell them I want to be a human, I'm going to burn the agency.

02:33Offscript with The Hollywood Reporter brings the film industry's top creatives together for

02:37inspiring and surprising conversations. Check out the full Actors Roundtable when it drops on
