David Ury New Actors reel (2008)

[DJmixmastermicro]

HIS NAME IS NOT KEN TANAKA

HE HAS NO JAPANESE PARENTS

HE WAS NEVER ADOPTED

NEVER RAISED IN JAPAN

ITS ALL AN ACT!!!

HE IS AMERICAN COMEDIAN named DAVID URY

IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THAT BY NOW YOU ARE JUST PRETTY FUCKIN STUPID

[ehcmier]

Time to update the acting reel, Spooge! :D

[DetectiveTective]

lol omg KEN TANAKA??????

[imhellag]

Mr. Ury is an amazing actor, hands down. A story that makes you feel is just that and whether or not it's real or not doesn't matter. (ie the Bible) The emotions his evokes are real.

For those of you hating on his Ken Tanaka character, it's simply publicity for him and will only further his career.

[kaylee6859]

Also, check Ken's profile: "Ken Tanaka lives in a reality that is likely very different from your own. In this reality, rather unreal things can and do happen. Please keep in mind that these videos are meant for entertainment purposes."

[kaylee6859]

He's obviously a very talented actor. I mean, come on. That was good. I don't get why you guys are angry.

[DrWatsonPostmortem]

I commented on Ken Tanaka's obviously doctored video where he supposedly "meets" David Ury. There were a lot of comments calling him a fraud (which is what he is). I left a similar comment but I went the extra mile and pointed out how his assistant Remi is actually Chinese (I looked her up on Facebook) and then he somehow hid all the comments after that. ... LOL!

[heyjeySigma]

Ken... you're one hell of a japanese actor hahaha.. the funny part is all these ppl falling for it LOL

[TehRealAssassin]

Wow, to think I fell for this, disqusting act, in any other instance I would admit David is a great actor but "Ken Tanaka's" story touched me. Mostly because I have never met my real father I sort of related to "Ken's" story. Now I found out it was an act I have lost all respect for David.

[zmjhgvn]

@TehRealAssassin totally agree I feel cheated in a very strong way

[MadPutz]

@TehRealAssassin All fiction is designed to warm people's hearts. Its realness should not matter. Does the intention behind a beautiful painting change its beauty?

[TehRealAssassin]

@MadPutz You have a good point, but he could at least have the decency to tell the viewers it is fiction. I wouldn't like to read a book, thinking it's non-fiction as it doesn't explain anywhere, then finding out it is fiction. But maybe that is just me, I respect your opinion.

[JuicYouS]

@TehRealAssassin do sad movies not touch you because they're fake? I can't believe you fell for it LOL

[squanto2]

Ken's not real? (sigh) Remi February is real though, right?

[ahoradale2]

I saw Heroes, but I never thought that actor was Ken Tanaka... (epic fail for my feelings) -.-

[dymchurch1]

I'm a real Japanophile and I need to think about whether the Tanaka shtick is insulting to my beloved Nihonjin.

[SomeCrazyShit1]

noooooo i thought ken was my frend , and everytime he'd say , ken tanaka loves you goooood byeeee , i'd go like awww , srsly broke my heart , noooooo y god y

[SariaChord0TouchWeb]

Ken Tanaka is the real one! 4 Life.

[BigYerke]

lmfao i forgot i saw him in first movie lol didnt recognize him till after watchin ken tanaka stuff

[kuroibuta]

what the hell, I just found this, I had no idea Ken Tanaka was a real actor!

[01WALKMAN01]

hahahaha ken you are hilarius good vid men

[superciliousrbt]

I can't believe I didn't notice him on Heroes -_____-

[reemstrrr]

NOOOoooooooooo!!!!!!!! i thougt Ken tanaka was real :( he broke my hart

[moolikeachicken]

MAN, David Ury is my hero <3

[jinxy070]

Waaaah! I thought he was real! T^T I've been lied to :< It's so WEIRD to see him speak without his accent and do all those things :T

[TubaBuddha]

I feel so taken having believed in the Ken Tanaka story. I even defended him to other U-tubers! Then I saw him on Lie to Me, and I realized it was I who was wrong. I was a bit pissed off about it. I hope he is a bit ashamed of it. Its not that clever, its rather rude. I too was concerned for him finding his parents. So, how did he master Japanese?

[ashestoyoursoul]

@TubaBuddha he became fluent in college, and I don't think he expected everyone to believe the whole adoption story. I mean, his videos and acting roles were gonna be leaked somehow or another. 

[zacatetas]

i thought tanaka was real

[KingOfDemigod]

Lmao I knew it. David Ury is the evil side of Ken Tanaka!

[leloodallasmultipass]

this is going to make it much easier for him to find his parents!

[rox711]

aw man. I like ken's japanese-accented english better...somehow

[Hajime598]

That's so funny ur Japanese is great. But that's so funny u acted it out u got me big lol.I hv secret to I'm not really who I say I am to right...... But still that's so funny!! :0)

[electroncream]

When I found out Ken Tanaka wasn't real, it actually disturbed me.

I felt compassion for that guy -_- I even cried in one of his first videos.. haha.

Actually back then I felt really, really conned >;|

[NowandLaterINC]

"sit on this asshole" XD

[uniupload]

OMG I didn't realise you were in Heroes. lol

[Jbigi12345]

He is in ''Lie To me '' ^^ Episode 18 ^^

[Yakume21]

i felt betrayed when I discovered that ken tanaka was fake T^T

[yasashii89]

@Yakume21 lol, u mean there was actually a time u thought that stuff was for real? =P

[Myasorez]

YOU FOOLED ME Ken~ uh i mean DAVID!!!1!

YES YOU FUCKED ME UP

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

[oryakang]

Damn, Ken Tanaka on Heroes!!!

[filiesillo]

We love Ken tanaka GOOD BYEE!!!

[4ourTimber]

Where is his japanese accent?

[audionautix]

Pure Genius!!!

[KEvronista]

@audionautix

and entirely original!

KEvron

[shiroberry14]

wait.... so how do you know japanese?

[subslament]

ELLO YEW TEWBBB

[mzrealm]

David Ury is a lie.

[TokyoBrando]

i hate Ken Tanaka, but David as himself in movies is cool

[miltonlandriel]

OMG that's a pretty shitty movie, the first one... I mean WHY?? Why does he have a carrot with him?, why didn't the guy shot him before he does anything? and why in the world didn't he just grab the gun and shot him instead of using the carrot??? David Ury is a cool and funny guy, but that movie seems horrible...

[Dakineiswhy]

@miltonlandriel i love that movie. its fuckin hilarious!

[miltonlandriel]

@Dakineiswhy YEAH! I watched it recently, I was completely fooled...

That movie is awesome...

[Kaylina1988]

Gosh, he had me fooled.

[tkot1]

Ken Tanaka's English with strong Japanese accent was so realistic.

I was completely taken for a sucker even I am Japanese.

It is really amazing.

[terickfic]

hes like that dude from bruno jut makes up diff persons

[uglyengineer]

Wow, you work with some pretty hot actresses David.

[thechitownhustler]

How do you think Ken Tanaka makes a living? He takes acting gigs under the stage name David Ury. Duh!

[HaxorLee]

Finally, some proof :P

[Ahuitzotol]

ken tanaka is FUCKING FAKE

[JDubbsTheatre]

@Ahuitzotol Was he not supposed to be?

[uraharafkedme]

ever since i watched this ive been having some trust issues :(

[VriakII]

Ken Tanaka is David Ury's long lost, adopted twin brother.

[vlogameir]

@VriakII omg really?

[DavePerry2012]

So why does he do the Ken Tanaka schtick?

What's his relationship to Japan?

[piip4]

Aw shit!

I've seen that shoot em up movie but I never really saw that guy being ken tanaka all along.

[HoneysEffect]

I'm so confused

[laloanany]

lol, you can find Ken Tanaka in Wikipedia but cannot find David Ury

[q1111w]

why he has a youtube account with the name Ken Tanaka saying he's adopted searching his parents?

[Freesilver92]

Is Ken Takanaka real, and is he really trying to find his parents, or are the all an act

[takadi]

It's funny, a couple years ago, I commented on one of his videos that his accent sounded exactly like Hiro Nakamura's. He responded with a very funny comment saying how he was a fan of heroes. It was only funnier after I found out that he actually was ON heroes

[MorroccoSurrogate]

Wow, he's really a better actor than is revealed by his Tanaka videos. He totally needs a movie deal, pronto. ^^

[UberNerdMan]

umm..the first movie's editing sucked...

david comes in with one gun...

then he shows middle finger on left hand with gun on right

guy kicks gun out of left hand which did not have the gun and is actually the middle finger..

gun goes up...left hand has the middle finger again..

guy has the gun and shoots his middle finger off.

zooms out showing that the guy and david now has a gun :o

[PKNproductions]

nevermind my comment, I'm wrong

[Lonewolf1126]

I feel abused.. how could someone keep up a scam like that so well for almost three years now? I really thought Ken Tanaka loved me, that meany...

[jimmybrite]

@Lonewolf1126 It's actually quite disgusting thatn he takes the whole world for idiots, and i'd been even more pissed if I was japanese and you have this asshole with the story of his lost parents that's totally made up shoving the fake kanji accent up your faces.

[Darkherm]

@Lonewolf1126 Don't worry, i'm sure he still loves us!

[jarekz25]

this video broke my heart!! i cant believe it ken tanaka is a big fake!!

[Dougle221]

David WTF i actually thought ken tanaka was real you have to be the best actor in the world i totaly believed your story

[Hurlibutz]

shit, i really thought ken tanaka was real! O_o

[uglyengineer]

@Hurlibutz; Yeah, he's from S. California. I think. He lives in LA.

[satricon]

@Hurlibutz holy crap! I did too :O i was like shit, is this real? who is this guy :O

[boosomentity]

@Hurlibutz so its David Ury that loves me shit!! a schytzo loves me,nothing new there then.

[AcesHighProd]

@Hurlibutz lol you guys never read the disclaimr! look at his profil ti all there

[AzNxBuddha]

hahaha, in the first scene, when your finger is blown off, you clutch your right hand to your left hand, and you still have the gun in the right hand

[JusteunMusicien]

Holy shit! Nice catch, I would have never seen that.

[HPPcello2]

oh come on how could a white guy have a sir name of Tanaka, although his accent was awesome

[Nibbit]

Ken Tanaka was adopted, and therefore takes on the surname of his adopted parents. Japanese parents who, in his story, adopted him =b. Thats how he gets the sUrname of Tanaka.

[K1kuch1]

Ken tanaka is the real one! You are a fake David Ury!

rofl

[micanotengonick]

ken tanaka i hate u for fooling me!

[Merzmensch]

Awesome!

すごいな、ウリさん！

[ViralKauai]

David, you're awesome! Your writing and directing (and acting) in your own youtube videos puts this cheesy high-budget crap to shame! You are the guileless Sacha Baron Cohen.

DOOMO ARIGATO, David-o-san! I rub you!

[RizingBlackSun]

Ken Tanaka you asshole! XD

[torofighter]

weird seeing him speaking with an American accent, even though it's not being faked

[hallbe]

No wonder Ken was always so familiar to me! I've seen all these shows!!

[djdejan72]

Yeah, I liked him better with a Japanese accent.

[thirdmisfit]

ken tanaka on heroes.. lawl..

[feliparkour]

Oh, I'm So Sad, KEN TANAKA is not real . =x

[HPPC]

Doesn't he slightly resembles Steven Stills?

[DavePerry2012]

I'm thinking more Elvis, really.

[HPPC]

Ken Tanaka CSI?  Yooouushh!

[slipknotandtool]

Boku ga bikkuri shimasen...

[ifoundtrex]

KEN!

[phongbong]

Damn, I've seen you in most of these and didn't put it together you where ken. Good job! Can you do more stuff with Mandy Amano? She's the best thing on the planets since hot sauce was invented!

[NokiGP]

wathever he's a awesome actor

[Skidmeister9999]

I stumbled upon your Ken Tanaka sketches and got a real kick out them. Looking for more I found my way here. Cool reel.

P.S. Can anybody spot the continuity slip in the Shoot 'Em Up scene?

[KidFresh71]

Dude- congratulations on your acting chops- great stuff, and lots more to come I'm sure. Jesse Stirling

[lynninsweden]

good work ken! you are awesome!

[bewbtewb]

I was really living with the illusion that Ken Tanaka was real. This video just destroyed me.

[SuccubusRaptured]

ya your not the only one...i was fooled!

[NokiGP]

Me too :( this is so sad...I lived some weeks whit the dram of ken tanaka find his real parents...If she makes something funny like Fred i understand him but this Ken Tanaka is a sad person (even if he doesn't exist) Why he need to do this???

[logan429429]

He has another channel where he fooled everyone where he was adopted by japenese family and came back looking for his "Real parents". helpmefindparents is the chanel

[limestarinc]

I randomly caught the end of Shoot em up this morning unaware he was an actor. I was like holy shit thats Ken Tanaka he is a very nice man!

[rtobin7]

be in more movies! your so cool! i love shoot em up xD

[coverfactory]

He deserves bigger roles

[klumzypinoy]

It's KEN TANAKA SAN :D

[ericsurf6]

Nice work David! When are you coming to Japan again?

[runnyrunny999]

演出にマジで存在感を感じる。

[weeknightingale]

Now I know why I felt like I had met you before. You are a very talented man. Congratulations!

Best wishes,

Karolyn

[chewylyrics]

Oh snap!!!

I knew from the meet my parents vids that he was either fo real or a great actor.

Turns out...

Great Actor.

[asherglaser]

I never realized being a cab driver was such a legit business reference.

[sexwizard]

Saresh is Indian. What else would he be doing in New York City? lol

[maneneko]

がんばってUryさん！
