johnbohl: Musta been traumatic to show up for your first film role and be told, “We’re gonna dump dozens of tarantulas on you and you gotta stand still.”

aviduser1961: What a range. Loved his performance in Boogie Nights.

BongoWongoOG: Love hearing actors revealing how they got started. Being willing to share your early naivety is priceless and restates to us that we're all human and have to start somewhere. Thanks for all of your creativity Alfred.

Gerrys-Channel: Such a great actor. So underrated.

thoso1973: Alfred Molina consistently picks good or and sometimes even great films to appear in. He always delivers. Great actor.

PrimarchX: Oh, I absolutely knew it was him. "Throw me the idol, I'll throw you the whip!" Classic.

Novastar.SaberCombat: Love this interview question. I always knew it was Molina in Raiders but I didn't know that THAT was his very first

otterpoet: Been quoting "Throw me the idol, I'll throw you the whip" since opening day XD

thegrievancegordieshow9882: Wow

BenChanNYC: "We love what you're doing, but it would be absolutely wonderful if we could get it in focus." Classic dry British passive aggressiveness!

JonfromsunnysarasotaFl: I loved Alfred Molina in Boogie Nights as Rahad Jackson

putinscat1208: Perfect Doc Oct.

Ghost_Sculptor1999: I love this. Great interview.

hotatp: His reaction of relief was memorable when Indy picked up the statue and they both thought everything was ok, and such a memorable jerk for leaving Indy stranded and then getting killed.

Very insightful interview, I often wonder how the people in smaller parts reacted to the making of a movie

sanctifiedandsaved5298: Great perspectives!

ericl.winter3622: Love this guy!

Filmmaker809: Love Alfred Molina. I wish you would remove the subtitles Steve! Its very distracting!

FriendlyNeighborhoodSpidey5: I know that was Alfred’s very first movie and I love that!

beeman2075: This was terrific to listen to. Huge amount of respect for Alfred in his acting work, and he seems like such a down to earth gentleman.

YodatheHobbit: What's wild is there doesn't seem to be a photo of Alfred and Harrison together since they filmed that scene, like they never met again!

Scruffi: Once I became aware of Alfred Molina as an actor some time later into his career, knowing that Raiders - my personal favorite film of all time, I think - was his first role, always felt like a bit of an Easter Egg to me, and he became one of my favorite parts of that movie. Nice that it worked out so well for him ]:)

touchofdumb: He seems like an exceptionally together guy - for an actor.

rossrreyes: “ there is nothing to fear here Senor “

mrquirky3626: I keep forgetting he's British. I've always seen him in so many movies where he's doing other accents that I keep forgetting where he's actually from.

ManChan-w5p: "No time to talk give me the idol."

cszmax: Technically he’s the second. The other guy who had the gun whipped out of his hand was blow darted to death by the hovitos

jamesharris8110: Spent many days on set with Alfred Molina, super fun man to work for.
