Old Vid of Jesse L. Martin Talking About Kristen in 'The Cake Eaters'



source Thanks to RobStenxxx/rtpkjsx3 for the link. It's been so long since I last saw this vid and I believe I have not posted it here before. So, enjoy!

"No airs about her whatsoever. And that's the best kind of actor, best kind of person you could ever deal with. And that girl is super, super, super talented. I mean, she starts really getting into it. It's almost heartbreaking like no matter what she is doing. It's almost heartbreaking because she really does look like that girl, move like that girl. I don't even know that girl but I feel like I do know now because this girl embodied her so well.... God bless her I hope she does she really, really well. I'm sure she will. I know she will be brilliant in the movie because from what I've seen. She's the sh*t! She really is."

Jesse L. Martin costarred with Kristen in 'The Cake Eaters'  I remembered this hottie in ' Ally McBeal', way back. Ooh yeah!

I love when people praise our girl especially when it's someone who's opinion actually matters and not just some desprate loser who just bad mouths her to get attention and to make themselves fell more important then they really are. She doesn't get enough recognision for the brilliant work she does do.

Yeah, Kristen's performance in The Cake Eaters was truly amazing. No words. Kristen was underrated. She deserves an academy award for that role in my opinion.

so true. kristen is "the shit" and thats probably the best way to describe her. tbh, her greatness is just so all encompassing, its funny when ppl struggle with words to describe her. i think "the shit" is probably the best way to do that, because, as i said, her overall awesomeness is just completely a part of EVERYTHING she does.

I am so happy that you included this clip here. I didn't see the Cake Eaters for a little while, then I gave it a try just to see what all the talk was about. I was ASTOUNDED by her GREAT PERFORMANCE. It is beyond my comprehension how one so young has mastered her art so perfectly. I LOVE this movie. The acting, the script, everything! I enjoy watching it again and again. So many levels within it. Kristen is truly the best - Rob said it well. It instilled within me such a higher level of empathy and for that I am grateful.

I've said this before here a long time ago...CE to me is one of the best movies our girl has ever done...she totally embodied the character of Georgia. This DVD is treasured by me in all of my collection of Kristen's movies..&as said earlier here, she should have gotten an award for her performance, or heck, more than one really! I was blown away by this movie fr/the moment I first watched it, because of the way she portrayed this girl & every little movement & nuance was awesome. If anyone hasn't seen this yet, & you love K as the gifted actress I so believe she is...you'll adore & be in awe of her, the way I am...SHE NAILED THIS CHARACTER to the fullest extent to me...she gave it her ALL & then some...watch it & you'll see exactly what I'm talking about! What a hard-working woman. & I love what all of these seasoned actors say about K on the DVD as well...it speaks volumes about who she is as a person & a dedicated actress...THANK YOU S for this...& I proudly say "I Love You Kristen Stewart & You'll Forever Be MY Favorite"

Oh my gosh, I just love this! Rent is one of my favorite things (he was amazing as Collins), and I loved that he was in The Cake Eaters too, but now, this just tops it all off! :D

This movie is "Method Acting 101". How she does it is beyond me! SUPERB.

I hadn't seen this interview. Thanks so much. I love seeing these pieces where her peers are sharing great insights about her. Kristen is the real deal and everyone who matters knows it. This was nice. I think today is a good day to watch Cake Eaters again. Hope everyone is having a great day.

I feel good about it.... this comment is off-topic i went on Youtube a few ago and there i saw a video of Garret praising her and there was comment section and i was shocked that only two thought she was a good actress. the others well....one coment was the she was TERRIBLE Actress and didn't care what her fans think of his/her opinion. the other one wrote that R-Patz is a better actor than her mentioned RM of course.

Alot of people question whether she deserves to be where she is now...and sorry to say most think she doesn't...and i am not one of them.
I am a fan of hers and i somehow am unable to understaand if most of the people think she's that bad an actress then why do we always hear good things about her as an actress.... i for one have not heard anything like she can't act from anyone especially from experienced actors they dont Milk her fans their reputations wont be at stake if they say so... must be something about her.... i like Twilight and i like her and am rooting for her...but at the same time makes me hate Twilight for giving an impression that Twilight is the only type of act that she is capable of

She certainly deserves to go beyond Twilight and show her acting skills but as a fan makes me think if we are her fans bcoz of she is bella in Twilight or bcoz we know she is capable as an actress? Most think she is ungratful...but i think we also dont appreciate her...she goes everywhere for Twi promoa and i bet she wld be evverywhere in 2011. that's is the only thing that bugs me frequently she gives so much hardly gets credit....sorry i sound invested....makes me wish she didnt do Twilight bcoz of that.

SmittenWithRob said...

LOL! This guy is funny! But he has her dead-on. Kristin IS "the shit" as he put it. I agree with the previous posters concerning her performance in The Cake Eaters, man she was MIND-BLOWING in that, she truly deserved an oscar nod for that...she's one of the most underrated actors out there...don't know if we'll ever see her holding one of those gold statues though...it's a really pity, too :(, she's SO freaking talented (rob, too, but kristen especially because she has been going unnoticed for sooooo long)

I was looking around on you tube and saw this just last week and a few more interviews of Kristen's castmates before Twilight and they all said wonderful things about her.She is the s***!! He is one of my favorite actors on that show and EVERYONE knows how dedicated she is to being an actress NOT CELEBRITY! Both Rob and Kristen are bound for greatness immeasurable and I just find myself actually just glad to be along for the ride of seeing two people I have never met succeed! I'm sure these two have what it takes to make it thru the craziness of Hollyweird!! LOL

Atticus said...

I love both R & K but Kristen Stewart is my absolute fave. She gets so much shit from the fandom and beyond that she is the SHIT. I remember this interview when it first came out and Jesse Martin is 100% correct in his platitudes toward Kristen. She was amazing in the Cake Eaters.

SmittenWithRob said...

@Angelica Sweet baby Jesus, Rent is one of my absolute favs, too! No, actually, it IS my all-time favorite movie/musical EVER and look at me. I can't believe I didn't even realize that that he was the character who played Tom Collins! JEEZ! He was one of my favorite characters! Shame one me! lol.

Now, that changes things. I respect this guy so much; he was fcking amazing in Rent, and for him to say that about Kristen, it really means something! Talent knows talent. This is such high praise, and coming from him, it's even better! Wow.

RobStenation said...

@Anon 2.51 Its very clear what you read was a hateful thread, just stir clear of those things and you're good. I do not think lots of ppl think negatively of Kristen bec she did Twi. Thats a typical Twi-hater comment and they are pretty subjective about it so you won't get anything substantial from these ppl.

Simple, just expose yourself to more positive fans/boards and there are a lot of them out there. Both Kristen and ROb deserve praises for their hardwork in Twi and in other projects.

What I do not appreciate are blinded extreme fans of either Rob or Kristen, who try to make them or set them up as competition with each other. Now, that is one topic to be invested about. But then again, why waste your time on nonsense?

lala/c said...

well if they were both bad actors i do not think they would be in such high demand by big companies and directors no?
i do think that twilight has not exposed their full potential as actors but it has def opened doors.
as for the haters, you tube comments are the worst, some people think that just because they watcha couple of films they have become film critics.
they are still young and have a long way to go but are def on the right track.

Kristen accdg to Rob words is the best actress of her generation..which is totally true..just some haters wont accept it..she will have her own Oscars one day!

I've seen almost all her movies and The Cake Eaters is the best, I work with disabled ppl and I know she deserved something for that performance.

Marion said...

The Cake Eaters to me is my favorite performance by Kristen and the best,in my opinion. Not since Anthony Hopkins in Legends of the Fall,had a I seen an actor believably portray a handicapped person,until I saw Kristen's Georgia. She really made the audience believe she had Frederics Axtaxia,which was a disease I'd never heard of before,until I saw the film. No wonder she gets such high praise from her fellow actors(and especially from Rob),that she is a truly gifted actress. I loved Jessie L. Martin in The Cake Eaters as well,as her stepdad Judd. I loved the scene where he tells Aaron Stanford's character Beagle,that if anything happened to her,he was going to kill him. I love how everyone becomes mama/papa bear protective over our bb and she truly deserves all the praise she is getting. I only see good things for both Kristen and Rob in their careers. I know they'll keep up the good work.

Kristen did a fantastic job in the Cake Eaters. Her mannerisms, her speech, her acting - so real, so heartbreaking. I loved that movie. Every fan of Kristen's should see it. - SH

Kristen is outstanding in Cake Eaters. Many people overlook the fact that Kristen has been working with extremely respected, experienced, Award-winning professionals for most of her career:

Panic Room: Jodie Foster, Forrest Whitaker
Cold Creek Manor: Dennis Quaid, Sharon Stone, Juliette Lewis
Fierce People: Diane Lane, Donald Sutherland, Elizabeth Perkins(also played Kristen's mother in Speak)

*purposely omitted anything Twilight
(**excluded "Jumper" because while the cast is impressive, I never saw it and don't know who she actually had screentime with)

I stopped counting all the Oscar and Emmy winners and nominees Kristen has worked with and learned from, I'm sure. It is ridiculous to think that anyone would doubt Kristen's acting abilitiies--her resume' is so impressive and she's only 20yrs old! 20!!!!

Gina said...

Oh man I love the Cake Eaters!! Kristen was so authentic in that role that people thought she really had FA. She has a very expressive face and when she takes on a role she really becomes that character. I look forward to continuing following her career. She's amazing!

Anon. 9:18 in Jumper Kristen had a very small scene at the end of the movie with Hayden Christensen, who was looking for her mom.

Delle1 said...

What absolutely fabulous compliments about Kristen but I wouldn't expect anything less....

Delle1 said...

Anonymous@9.18...thank you for the info of Kristens' resume and believe me,I absolutely adore her...She's fantastic and for a 20yr old is so wise and mature beyond her years...I have daughters and I'd be proud if any of them were like her....In the movie Jumper,she only had a small part towards the end but they're saying that there might be a no.2 where the siblings will be in it together and that would be Kristen and Hayden..Her movie Mom was Diane Lane and her brothers gf was Rachel Bilson,so yes,she has acted with alot of well knowns.

kristen also had a role in amovie called undertow...with dylan m, and the guy that played the other jumper along with hayden and diane lane played her mom in jumper

our girl is awesome

You know, I'm really trying to put this as nicely as I can, believe me, BUT I only said I would try SO...I left all the "rag mags" & other Idiot, assinine sites about a year ago & have not looked back or visited ANY of them since, OH I REFUSE TO...it's INSANITY to me...& a HORRIBLE waste of precious time...why even bother? You only end up upsetting yourself & it's very unhealthy for us all. S has said this time & again--& I take it to heart! We each have our own opinions on things & that's fine & it's all good to me...&IMO Kristen personified the character of Georgia Totally & SUCH A DIFFICULT & MULTI-LAYERED part to play...BUT she nailed it completely & as far as I'm concerned she deserves recognition for it..REGARDLESS though, to say anything less about her acting abilities to me is like a slap in the face to ROB seriously! He is the first person I ever heard say "KRISTEN IS THE BEST ACTRESS OF HER GENERATION" & I wholeheartedly & unashamedly say I AGREE w/him! & I WILL NOT LISTEN to anything negative said about either of them ever. This is not the place for it--THANK GOD! These extremely hateful & jealous people can continue to do whatever they want on their own time--I could care less! TO SUM UP--My intention here is not to create drama--far from it--& I APOLOGIZE if it comes across that way--THAT being said--I LOVE ROB&KRIS W/ALL MY HEART--that's why I come here everyday & LOVE IT & usually try to keep it light...Thank You S, for letting me vent & for tirelessly wading thru ALL of the BS that's out there, so we can enjoy this wonderful environment for us all...LOVE&HUGS TO EVERYONE & a big Hi-Five & Fist Bump & Shout-out to lala/c ..right on bb, woot, woot,lol.....PEACE PEEPS...
