    This guy's career is so extensive this should be at least two parts.
  • @rubybuttons668
    It still blows my mind that he is both Batman and Beetlejuice. He is a fantastic, and very underrated actor.
  • I've watched several of these " X breaks down his most iconic roles" and this is the first time the actor ACTUALLY breaks down the roles. Most of the time they just keep saying what a great experience it was and how talented was everyone around them. Great actor and great video.
  • Keaton’s characters in “Jackie Brown”, “The Other Guys”, “The Founder”, “Pacific Heights”, “Johnny Dangerously” “Jack Frost”, “The Paper”, “Dopesick”, “Toy Story 3”, The Trial of the Chicago 7”, and “Cars” also deserve a mention.
  • @BDFsecret
    Nice to hear him talk so proudly about Batman, he's the best
  • @themikeyfrisco
    White Noise, Gung Ho, Jack Frost, Cars, Toy Story, Johnny Dangerously… this NEEDS a part 2!
  • @nickng645
    DC fans in the 80s lost their minds when he was cast as Batman but now his version is iconic
  • @KatyWithAWhyyy
    I forgot how much I love this guy. His Batman will always be the best IMO, he's great in every movie he does and seems like a genuinely solid guy.
  • @joshah7627
    Are we gonna ignore how he aged so wel still looks early 40s
  • @MrKevin486
    He is one of the most underrated actors ever imo. He deserves way more credit then he gets. Such a legend.
  • @MrGgabber
    His range is terribly underrated. Truly one of the great actors actor
  • @Wes_Snipes
    Props to the editor. I know this had to be a hard thing to cut. Keaton is such a fast thinker and talker and can go all over the place. I could listen to him for hours but I know they had to make this thing around 30 minutes.
  • @emersonpinto1802
    Birdman is a masterpiece. Keaton was mesmerizing at every scene. His best performance ever (deserved an Oscar, won a Golden Globe).
  • @MabDarogan2
    I don't think I've heard him be himself this much before. I think he's quieter and more thoughtful than i expected.
  • He is a National Treasure. His comedy is underrated and he is a brilliant actor and comedic genius!
  • I remember watching 'Mr. Mom' when I was 10, and it really stuck with me. It was like a crash course in being a fun dad. Seeing how he handled things with humor and warmth taught me a lot about what kind of parent I wanted to be. Funny how a movie can stick with you like that.
  • @thishollowhill
    Keaton is a true multi generational gift that I'll always treasure. He was such a pivotal figure in my, and many others childhood. He has such appreciation for what he did, and we appreciate him for it. Thank you, mighty sir!
