Idiot Actor Syndrome (IAS)

[daryllorette]

Funny!

[davidf1992]

I, too, wish to marry this video.

[MelindaAugustina]

chemical peel to scrub off the chemical tan is my favorite! Great job.

[jockdoubleday]

meisner's about as fucked up as flip-flops, but otherwise a great vid.

[Xelanderthomas]

hee hee loved the ending most of all

[bobfraseracting]

Ah, yes! The 'pattern' - the behavior that keeps actors out of the big money. See how to fight it with You Must Act! The Acting Career Course.

[jordidann]

What would Sandy Meisner do?

[supadorf24]

Ha ha, Rainn Wilson!

[porterkelly]

I am in love with this video. I want to marry it.

[babysalxo]

This is amazing.

[danakaminski]

Replying to domcaz

Best serious answer? Get yourself in a very good, serious, class out here, in Hollywood. (And, online, regularly read Hollywood Actor Prep--of course!)

[jonmcsingee]

LIKE for "Vork" from the Guild cameo!

[jolipari]

Hilarious....so funny...blue shirt/blue shirt...

[domcaz1]

As an actor considering moving to LA, is there any way I can shield myself from this heinous condition? Or is it just a risk that I will have to take. Scary stuff. Thank god the AIQT is there in case I succumb.

[Dojorno]

coldplay parachutes?!?!

[babblingfreak]

OMG. That was too funny! I love it!

[AJMkarate717]

This might just be one of the most amazing things I have ever seen.

[Swisspineapple]

Great. Just Great. Hopefully I haven't hit this yet....

*looks down at feet*

Nope, not yet. I wear heels. And flats. Never sandals. Not with jeans.

*gasp!*

Oh my gosh... Do I have early signs of IAS???

[katedanley]

It is such a tragic disease. I'm so grateful that the Actors Institute for Quality Control is there. Bless you. Bless you.

[pokinoiombra]

This is such a serious condition...I have a friend suffering from IAS right now.

[dvammon]

says this is a must see for all my actor friends,

[19ingham]

so funny, so true: jeans & flip flops.

[GriffinWolf2008]

ahaha to bad something like this doesn't actually exist! This would hit so close to home with so many of the theatre people I know.

[JingleDingle]

Ha!

Hilarious.

IAS is rampant ...sad thing about this video is that it is more expose than satire. Brilliant.

Many actors I know would hate this. (it hits too close to home. LOL)

Too bad the "Institute" doesn't really exist!

[offendingshadow]

Hilarious! I know too many actor friends that need this!!!

[pukabowers]

its just like the US office, Unfunny!

[randomtrip]

Funny!

[faithsalon]

Thespian sponser!!!! This BRILLIANT!!! Takes me back!

[chinaisright08]

Reminds me of "Waiting For Guffman"!

[velmaj]

saw this at smogdance, very very funny.

[AngelPam49]

I am laughing myself silly here! Paul you are my son's double in every sense of the word. Thanks for the entertainment. 0:-)

[Gar65]

Paul .. I love you!!!

[krowoo]

What a funny, talented troupe, and Paul Bartholomew is a comic genius. Warning! Put the coffee cup down before you watch this, especially the "free-form reacquainting." It could get messy.

[kmillard]

Paul Bartholomew has this absolutely wonderful combination of good looks and just slighty off-beat quirkiness that I hope we'll see a lot more of besides an occasional commercial or guest star spot on a sitcom.

[gumba61]

One of the funniest videos I've ever seen.

[2miles]

i am now taking a good long.... serious look at myself in the mirror and.. the access hollywood, the actor showcases, the spray-on suntan (and i am black). thank you for posting this clip. i am going to start my first step to recovery tomorrow. again, thank you.

[fitzooch]

Hilarious! So sad but so true. The walk/dance whatever he does in the hallway was awesome... kneepads and helmet! Ha! Nice work!

[TheSometimesWhy]

wow, i am so bummed out. i had three callbacks for the role of "peter"...they told me i was a lock! i could have done that once scene so much better..., hey wait a minute--do i have AIS?

youtube, thy name is irony!

the sometimes why

[officejet1268]

Its IAS....not AIS. they only say it like 300 times in the video

[TheSometimesWhy]

clearly, you have never heard of lysdexia, have you, officejet? and it's a good thing you don't tend to miss the forest for the trees.

all the best, richard.

[hepachepa]

This is hilarious!

[bunnygibson]

[babka22]

[MarcSamuel]

Very funny. Gives one something to think about.

[gobetty]
