In 2022, Brian Tyree Henry starred in 'Bullet Train,' 'Causeway,' and the final season of 'Atlanta.' For EW's Entertainers of the Year, Brad Pitt honors his 'funny as f---' costar.
, for basically what is one extended scene, and I was so moved. I thought, "This guy runs deep." For me, as an actor, it's rare that you see someone and get surprised. He's in this one scene, and he talks about his stint in prison, and it just floored me. The degree of subtlety and difficulty, it's so finessed. You believe it. You feel this immense pain that the character's carrying. It's extraordinary. And then you meet Brian in person, and he's funny as f---.
My best joke was that he was taking work away from British actors, because the character was a Brit. And he took on a Cockney accent, which of all the English accents, that's the one with no wiggle room. You cannot get that one wrong, because if you do, you get slaughtered by the Brits. But he took it on and by all reports, he nailed it.
He also tweaked his knee really bad during that shoot, and he soldiered through. He still sold it. He can do anything. He's a director's dream. He can play heavy, and then he can play big and funny. And he's such a lovely, lovely human being. I can't say that enough. I love the guy and I think that's pretty unanimous with all of us who work with him. I know the guy can act. I know he is skilled, but as a human being, he's just one of those wonderful people to be around.
This guy's so good. I would've given him Entertainer of the Year in, like, 2018. Hell, give him Human of the Year.
