At 0:42:"... the Lex Luthor portrayed by Gene Hackman. Genius! I mean, how do you ... how do you top that?"

At 0:50 "But this is I think the first young Clark Kent, though, isn't it? Uh-huh, yeah, I think so."

At 0:54 "We are doing a show called Nicodemus. Everybody starts [? mumble] their inhibitions ... just escape them [it sounds as if he starts saying one thing and then changes his mind, so the resulting sentence doesn't totally make sense] and they're free to say what they want, how they really feel deep down inside."

At 1:57 "Do you have a laugh? I mean is it all really heads down when you're filming, or is it quite light-hearted?"

At 3:24 "Actually today in the [don't know], I don't know if you picked it up but ... it was ... you know, we were all kind of ... we finished the blocking and we were all kind of mulling around and trying to figure out what was going on."

At 3:42 "Let's go back from right here. I was ... you know where I was, that's why . I'm right here. Now I'm set."

At 4:03 "When you took the part did you think he's going to be really nasty, and actually he's turned out so far for us to be quite a nice guy? -No, I made sure I wasn't gonna play the typical -- stereotypical -- Lex Luthor. I wanted to be someone that was, uh, I wanted to reinvent the character."

At 4:24 "So, I'm not a moron. I thought to myself that I'm not going to shave my head for this audition."

4:34 "Has it affected your, like, normal life, 'cause when you, like, have a week off...

Thanks, Mr Wordy!
Just one question "How do you top that" means what more
could a man possibly want, right?

Mr Wordy · Answer

"To top" means "to better", "to exceed", "to surpass". So, in this context, "How do you top that?" means "How do you surpass Gene Hackman's portrayal of Lex Luthor?"
