The Actors Rountdable: Benedict Cumberbatch, Channing Tatum, Eddie Redmayne, Ethan Hawkes, Michael Keaton, Timothy Spall

This Slacker Sunday brings one of those wonderful roundtables where the pros sit around talking about their work. This time it's a remarkable group of actors from this year's top films. Benedict Cumberbatch in The Imitation Game, Michael Keaton in Birdman, Ethan Hawkes in Boyhood, Eddie Redmayne in The Theory of Everything, Channing Tatum in Foxcatcher and Timothy Spall in Mr. Turner.  I found each of these films extraordinary —I've seen all but Mr. Turner, which I hear is also extraordinary — with performances from these actors that just blew me away. Try not to let the moderator Stephen Gallway's irritating manner get in the way of your enjoyment!
Happy Sunday.
