July 26, 2009:  VIDEO INTERVIEW:  Here is an interview with Jeremy Irons when he was in Slovakia in June accepting the Actor's Mission Award.  The clip is translated in Slovak over Jeremy's voice and there is a music track playing, so it's a bit hard to hear what he's saying.  He speaks about the films that have had an impact on him personally and on his career, and he talks a little about working with Dominique Swain in Lolita.  Click here to view the video!

ANOTHER YOUTUBE INTERVIEW:  I uploaded yet another video interview with Jeremy Irons.  This one is from the 2006 Emmys Live Post Show on E! News.  Jeremy chats with Giuliana Rancic (DePandi) about his Emmy win speech, his dogs, motorbikes and his rolled cigarettes.  I'm sorry the sound is slightly distorted.  I'm not sure what happened in the transfer.
