Seen this a few times and I'm always struck by Sheen's almost boyish enthusiasm. Very nice.

[Lonniebealestreet]

Insightful and heartfelt, nice.

[King Of The Whole World]

Yes, I have seen this before too. I love how he talks about Elvis with a lot of passion. When he says, Elvis was sunburn from being at the top, I laugh every time.

I know Jay Leno spoke in an interview about seeing Loving You and how excited he was to see Elvis on screen. That’s a neat interview too.

I know I posted an interview (in the interview section) of Bill Medley talking about Elvis. One of the best interviews on Elvis I have heard.

I have seen this before-but its nice to hear him speak on Elvis in such glowing terms....I especially like his opinion that Elvis did a good acting job in Love Me Tender and that he could have been so much more as an actor had things been handled different.

It always good when serious actors acknoledge Elvis talent as an actor. Its pretty clear to many that he had the potential if only... so its not as simple as to say: elvis was a bad actor. Most movies he was in where bad.

To bad many people dissmiss his talent just because the awful movies without looking beyond that, as Mr. Sheen does.

This interview is on the Loving You DVD along with other interviews with other people done in the same format. Out of those interviews this one is probably the best.
