But do you know what I suspect has a lot to do with why Hardesty hasn't broken through yet? I think it has to do with a comment he made about why he hasn't had formal training in acting -- that he thinks it's an overrated waste of time that he doesn't need.
Now, while they may or may not be true, the truth is that guilds run most of the world, and all guildsmen want to hear that their training programs are indispensable. I think they've punished him.
I've seen it happen over and over again, that trade guilds and other assorted factions that control given industries will band together and literally blacklist people out for being "too good" without having gone through their monopolized channels.
It's basically Ayn Rand's worst nightmare. Also, remember the movie "Amadeus", and how Mozart was treated by the official mediocrities who he rubbed the wrong way by being too brazenly honest -- and just way too damn good.
@TheLogicJunkie Look at this kid on Letterman, he's just not television or film material, it's one thing to be able to be a youtube sensation and a whole other to study, research, and carefully manufacture a character that is your OWN in front of a crew of 50 including people who work in a mortifying and seamlessly wicked-fast paced environment where your constantly fed direction you don't understand.
@TheLogicJunkie I think your missing the big picture mate. I work in film, and the one thing studio heads, casting directors, and agents can agree on are never to hire impersonators, it is a golden rule in the business, there are too many of them out there, and yes its hard work but you'll never get recurring roles in the business. Extra work is extra work, and always ends up on my boss's cutting room floor, I see it time and again happen to actors more talented than this kid.
@bhbrklyn What about Phil Hartman? He was a very good impersonator, just to name one such person off the top of my head.
But, yes, I do see your point about it being a very different matter for someone to be able to handle truly original, first-time material that has never been rendered by anyone, and only exists in the form of words in a script. That's a concern for me about people like Hardesty, too. So I guess it would be more telling to see how he handles an obscure script...
But, beyond that totally legitimate concern of yours, I still also think it doesn't help things for anyone who has not gone through official training channels, to go around deriding and dismissing those official institutions, even if they are completely right to a good degree. There are too many high court composers in the world who are only too eager to hamstring upstart talents for using "too many notes". Surely you've noticed the premium on politesse in the industry.
To a great degree, I think this is a big reason why Michael Caine has had such a rock-solid career in the acting industry -- because he already comes from a working-class background which provided him with a strong sense of communism. As a result, as he wrote in his book on film acting, he understands the need to bend over backwards with shows and behaviors of convincing humility. That's why I think he would never have dismissed the practice of formal training.
@Dwarfrock I was making a joke about his very messy divorce w/ Mia Farrow (as well as the whole Soong Yee Previn mess) eating up all his riches. Hence, $11 net worth after legal fees, alimony, etc.
do a scene from happy gillmore the scene where hes trying to tell the ball to go homeon the green or you could act like i mean only act like the saint chuck norris im sure you,ve hurd of the internet chuck norris jokes like chuck norris can eat his weight in coal and shi* out dimonds or when the boogie man gos to sleep he loos under his bed for chuck norris (ect...)
your woody allen reminds me of paul Giamatti!!!!!! probably because you were looking like him. Could you do something from Sideways????? Pleaaassseee??? Thanks.
@breeeegs , shut the fuck up trying to be unique you found it funny but you want to be as i said "unique" so shut the fuck up, and keep it to yourself
Your Arnold wasn't perfect, but Arnold Schwarzenegger is about the hardest celeb to mimic perfectly. So for that I give you a 9 since it is so difficult to get perfectly.
holy hell my friend you have once made me piss my pants loling, i have see this video about 30 times now not counting the ppl i have showed it to, for the ppl that disliked this video im going to find you and beat you to death with a joke book to see if you gain any humor. wish all the luck to my fav actor Brandon , your gunna be big one day and ill say i remmber when this guy was just making Funny Faces on youtube for shits and giggles
I have heard allot of arnold impressions from various actors and stand up comedians, but i have to say, i really do think this is the closest and most natural sounding one i have heard. Fanfrigintastic video.
Its not a "Jewish" impression, its a Woody Allen impression. Woody is himself, not all us Jews are like him. Also, just as a side note, I like your douchebag impression oh wait thats just you
First of all thats three THREE GODDAMN PEOPLE and two of them were influenced by Woody Allen so naturally they sound like him, secondly I'm a comedic Jew and I don't sound like that at all so FUCK YOU
