Hi, I'm Giancarlo Esposito and this is The Wired auto-complete interview.
2

4
Go to Google, baby.
5
Google.
6

7
I am in Far Cry,
8
which is a great game.
9
I play Anton Castillo, the head of a small Latin American country,
10
dictator a very interesting man I'm also in I play the
11
dentist in oh my gosh my brain is going uh payday
12
2 yes I got it what is Giancarlo Esposito most famous
13
for what is Giancarlo Esposito most famous for he's most famous for playing Gustavo Fring,
14
kingpin of the meth world in Breaking Bad.
15
You are done.
16
I got into an airplane.
17
I wanted to go to the bathroom.
18
And a woman was standing there.
19
She turned around and she just froze.
20
And she was totally in shock.
21
And she hit the wall.
22
And she's up against the wall.
23
And she...
24
You can go, Gus.
25
And I was stunned.
26
I said, no, no, please.
27
You know, ladies first.
28
You go.
29
No, no, no, no, no,
30
no, no, no, no, you go.
31
And so I went inside the bathroom,
32
did what I had to do,
33
came back out, and she's up against the wall,
34
still peeled, pinned to it,
35
and I said, thank you very much.
36
And I walked away.
37
Okay, what languages does Giancarlo Esposito speak?
38
English, baby.
39
My first language was a bit of German,
40
as my mother and father were working in Hamburg.
41
My mother was singing at the Hamburg Stats Opera.
42
And then Italian.
43
My father is from Naples, Italy.
44
And so my father and mother spoke Italian in the home.
45
Then when we got to Germany, some German.
46
And then my third language is gibberish.
47
Because my head was so full of languages that I really couldn't process them all.
48
And English was throwing me.
49
And so the third language was gibberish.
50
And then the fourth language,
51
through the roles I play,
52
I said I'm part Italian and part African American,
53
but I couldn't get those African American roles.
54
So I learned how to speak a little Spanish.
55
Okay, oh wait, am I in the right place?
56
Yes, I am.
57
What is Giancarlo Esposito?
58
What is Giancarlo Esposito's accent?
59
Well, when I say my name,
60
Giancarlo Giuseppe Alessandro Esposito, my accent is Italian.
61
For many years I pronounced my name Esposito and I grew up with the Esposito brothers who were hockey players.
62
So I understood that to be the pronunciation.
63
I went back to Italy and I could literally be riding a bicycle in the mountains in Milan,
64
outside of Milan in Lake Como,
65
and someone would roll down the window, Giancarlo Esposito!
66
Giancarlo Esposito!
67
And I'm like, okay.
68
And I had a buddy in Italy who said,
69
why do you pronounce your name Esposito?
70
It's so American.
71
Like, it's just not you.
72
And everyone says that sounds Spanish because there isn't Espinoso.
73
I said, no, I'm very Italian.
74
Look at me.
75
Very Italian.
76
Giancarlo Esposito.
77
Next.
78
Wow, you're so good at this.
79
Where is Giancarlo Esposito from?
80
My mother was performing with Josephine Baker in Copenhagen in a supper club.
81
And so I was born there.
82
However, I grew up in Rome,
83
Italy, because my father was from Naples.
84
He was working in the opera house,
85
and my mother and father traveled around with each other as he became sort of her manager,
86
and she sang in different supper clubs and opera houses,
87
eventually winding up at Alla Scala in Milano.
88
They met in San Carlo Opera in Napoli.
89
So, So I'm very proud of where I'm from and I'm very proud to be,
90
you know, raised in America,
91
but I'm completely proud of my Italian heritage and my African American heritage.
92
When did Giancarlo Esposito start acting?
93
I started acting at eight years old.
94
We were living in a basement apartment in Yorkers,
95
New York, and we were really poor because my mother and father were getting divorced after 11 years of marriage.
96
I was watching a TV show called Gigantor with my brother.
97
And there was a commercial that came on,
98
and it was the first time I ever saw a brown-skinned person on a commercial.
99
And it was a kid,
100
like 15, 16 years old.
101
My mother came home and said,
102
I can do this, we can do this.
103
We're eating frankenbeans, we're eating grits with ketchup, we can do this.
104
And she took us to an agent,
105
Ernestine McClendon, and I auditioned within two weeks for my first Broadway show called Maggie Flynn with Jack Cassidy and Shirley Jones.
106
That was 58 years ago.
107
When Wednesday dances Giancarlo, Oh yeah, that's it, right?
108
When Wednesday dances.
109
This is a special one for me because I got a call
110
and I love Jenna Ortega and I got a call to do this Netflix promo and I love Netflix.
111
I've had a number of shows on Netflix,
112
you can look them up,
113
many of them are on now,
114
but I have to tell you,
115
you know, to be loosey-goosey and have fun,
116
this was one of my most favorite things I ever did.
117
So getting there, I'm like doing my research,
118
you know, checking out Wednesday,
119
checking out her moves and figuring out how to just be that Castilian, oh!
120
Very big and very wonderful.
121
And I had a blast,
122
a real blast doing this and I wanna do more.
123
What fun that was.
124
Wow, I'm getting this a little bit now.
125
Okay, so does Giancarlo Esposito like playing villains?
126
You know, I am a dramatic actor and I have always resisted this question.
127
So when you ask me this question,
128
I want to say to you, I will kill you.
129
But I was thinking about this.
130
In the last 24 hours,
131
I thought to myself, you know what?
132
You love playing villains.
133
This is my favorite thing in life.
134
I saw a picture with James Cagney.
135
Many of you will not know who James Cagney is.
136
Many years ago, public enemy.
137
And at the end, he is on top of a scaffold with a machine gun.
138
He's like, top of the world, ma!
139
Top of the world!
140
And I saw that movie and I went,
141
This dude is having so much fun.
142
I went, the villain is complicated.
143
The villain is interesting.
144
The villain is someone that we don't know.
145
We wonder why he's so villainous.
146
And if you're in for a penny,
147
you're in for a pound.
148
If you're gonna do it,
149
you gotta do it right.
150
The villain is the antithesis of a hero and some of them have good intentions,
151
many of them not, but they're interesting and they drive the story
152
and they're electric and they're exciting and you can't take your eyes off of them.
153
So yes, I have just outed myself to say I love to scare the other people.
154
Next, does Giancarlo Esposito like anime?
155
I love anime.
156
I have no favorite anime,
157
but I think anime is extremely interesting.
158
I do go to Comic Cons,
159
and I do see people dress up.
160
I was in an anime called Cyberpunk,
161
and it was a really interesting thing.
162
It was a really great project for me to do,
163
playing Faraday, to make that guy live and breathe in our American culture,
164
but have the influence of that Japanese anime.
165
How?
166
How long did Giancarlo Esposito live in Denmark?
167
Okay, the answer is...
168
I can't remember.
169
No, just kidding.
170
The answer is one year.
171
Again, my mother was performing with Josephine Baker,
172
who years ago I eventually met in Toronto when I was nine years old,
173
doing my first out-of-town tour for Maggie Flynn.
174
But I lived in Denmark for one year, and I loved it.
175
How did Giancarlo Esposito get famous?
176
You know, wow, what a question that is.
177
How does anyone get famous?
178
How did I get famous?
179
If you love what you do,
180
you never work a day in your life.
181
So I commit, I commit myself to the reality of what I do.
182
I realize that there are up and downs in everyone's careers.
183
I never try to be a celebrity or a star.
184
I just try to be me and to understand what my connection is to the work I'm doing.
185
And that's probably how I got famous.
186
How did Giancarlo Esposito start acting?
187
Well, I told a part of this story.
188
It was through needing to have a better life,
189
you know, economically after my mother and my father's divorce.
190
It was realizing that I loved performing.
191
There were other things I loved too,
192
but it was asking myself a question after many years of up and downs,
193
if this was supposed to be what I was meant to do.
194
Like, we're meant to do a lot of things.
195
I asked myself, is this what you were meant to do?
196
And I was meant to be a storyteller.
197
That's what I do.
198
I think my true calling was to tell a story and to move people from one place to another in their consciousness.
199
Because after 15, 20 years of acting in the theater,
200
I decided I wanted to move to film and television.
201
But I also knew that that took work.
202
That took a different acting style.
203
That took becoming smaller, more compressed.
204
Having a thought in my head when you're watching me that you can't read and you're wondering,
205
what is he thinking right now?
206
That is committing to doing something that you love,
207
but also going to class, figuring yourself out.
208
And I think we're all on that journey.
209
I know I am.
210
How do you pronounce Giancarlo Esposito?
211
Well, my name once again is Giancarlo Giuseppe Alessandro Esposito.
212
Next.
213
I'm getting into this now.
214
Come on, bring in some more cards, mama.
215
Okay.
216
Is Giancarlo Esposito Italian?
217
Yes, completely Italian.
218
Is Giancarlo Esposito a nice guy?
219
Oh my gosh, I know these are not your questions, Wired.
220
I know these are the fan questions.
221
I am a nice guy.
222
You know, I have a lot of integrity for who I am today,
223
but I may not be that tomorrow.
224
And that's okay, but underneath it all,
225
I believe people are intrinsically good.
226
That's certainly my life.
227
So yeah, I've come to realize I'm not all the characters I play,
228
but I really love life and I love people.
229
I've done one comedy, Nothing to Lose.
230
No one asked that, but I'm gonna tell you.
231
But I also wanna do a romantic comedy,
232
and it would be nice to figure out how do you
233
do a romantic comedy with someone who is maybe a little more mature than our young romantic comedies?
234
And so we're gonna figure that out.
235
But yeah, I'm a nice guy most of the time.
236
Is Giancarlo Esposito a director?
237
Wow, yeah, I am a director.
238
That changed my life too.
239
You know, you make these turns in your life.
240
I've directed two feature films.
241
I love directing because I feel like you can tell more personal stories
242
that are relatable to an audience that sometimes doesn't get targeted with movies that they can really understand about everyday people.
243
And so yes, I'll direct more and look out for that.
244
You have to go see it.
245
You gotta go to the theaters, people.
246
Does Giancarlo Espotio have children?
247
I have four daughters who I absolutely adore and they've changed my life.
248
Shane, Kale, Sear, and Ruby.
249
And they're all in their 20s.
250
And they've changed the way I think about the habits that I've taken on from my father.
251
So my girls have grown me in the world of,
252
you know what I say,
253
my girls have really helped me be a real man.
254
Giancarlo Esposito, do the right thing.
255
I love Ozzie Davis's line in that.
256
He tells Spike Lee, young man,
257
always do the right thing.
258
I love this movie, I love Spike Lee,
259
it was really fun to do.
260
Creating the character of Buggin' Out,
261
that guy who is questioning how it all works,
262
and why don't you have any,
263
why don't you got no brothers on the wall?
264
Is a very, very special experience for me.
265
The movie lives on, I saw it in the Netherlands about five years ago,
266
and it really still holds up.
267
And it's been great to have this friendship and love for Spike Lee and all that he stands for.
268
Giancarlo Esposito, laughing meme, oh my gosh!
269
I get these laughing memes five times a day from people that I know.
270
We are not the same.
271
It's a whole nother world to get famous in,
272
and I'm really happy that it came out of a really organic place that people know me.
273
Giancarlo Esposito, The Residence.
274
A show I really love.
275
A show that's on Netflix right now.
276
It is Knives Out in the White House.
277
I play A.B.
278
Winter.
279
I start out on the floor.
280
You see my feet.
281
A.B.
282
Winter, chief White House usher,
283
responsible of all the workings,
284
comings and goings, to have a smoothly working White House.
285
And this role of Cordelia Cupp by Uzo Aduba is absolutely spectacular.
286
It is a fantastic show.
287
The White House is recreated within inches of exactly what it is.
288
You get a tour of this place,
289
but you get a chance to see the show through all the suspect's eyes to figure out who done it.
290
You know I didn't because I'm dead on the floor,
291
but who done it.
292
You are going to love it,
293
and I'm very proud to have been in it.
294
Giancarlo Esposito, voice acting.
295
You know, part of what I do requires a lot of it,
296
a lot of imagination.
297
And if I can encourage you guys to have anything and to cultivate anything,
298
it would be your imagination.
299
And so when I'm in the room,
300
in the booth, voice acting, I really love it.
301
I'm cultivating my imagination.
302
Sometimes I close my eyes and I take the journey of the carriage,
303
because many times, whether you know it or not,
304
I'm not looking at a screen matching something.
305
I'm creating the voice so they can match to me.
306
I use my voice well for my Broadway acting days,
307
and I love voice acting,
308
and I'll continue to do that until the day I die.
309
I love it.
310
See you next time.
311
Those are all the searches.
312
I want to thank you for having me today.
313
It's been so much fun.

為什麼與這個影片練習口語？
與Giancarlo Esposito的影片練習英語口語是一種極佳的選擇。首先，他在影片中使用了自然對話的方式，展現了真實的交流場景。這種對話不僅富有趣味，還能幫助學習者瞭解如何在相似場合中表達自己的想法。其次，透過這種與生活相關的內容，能夠提高英語的聽說能力，從而增強自信。通過英語口語練習，你不僅能夠學習到新的詞彙和句型，還能感受與母語者交流時的語調和情感。
語法與表達在語境中的運用
在影片中，Giancarlo Esposito使用了幾個有趣的句子結構，可以幫助學習者理解如何在對話中運用這些語法。以下是幾個關鍵的結構：
- 疑問句的使用：他經常使用“What is …?”這種結構來引入自己的興趣和背景，讓對話更加自然。
- 敘述過去事件：使用“went,” “was,” 和 “said” 等動詞，幫助學習者理解如何描述自己的經歷。
- 條件句：在敘述某些情況時，他可能會使用“if”引導的條件句，用以表達假設，這對學習者極具實用性。
通過觀看並模仿，他的這些表達可以作為看YouTube學英語的絕佳例子，有助於提升你的語法掌握能力。
常見的發音陷阱
在影片中，有一些單詞的發音可能會對學習者帶來挑戰。例如，Giancarlo提到的“Gustavo”和“Fring”，發音時的重音和連讀可能會讓習慣非母語口音的學習者感到困惑。此外，像“Anton Castillo”這樣的名字，重音位置和音節的劃分需要特別注意，這都是英語影子跟讀的良好練習物件。
總之，通過練習這些關鍵詞的發音，你不僅能提高口語流利度，還能更好地理解對話中的語境。這些小技巧將極大提高你用英語進行溝通的能力。
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | I've had · have always resisted · have just outed |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | was born · was meant · were meant |
| 定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物 | someone who is · guy who is |
什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
