Brandon will you try and reenact a scene from The Beach the secne where Richard (Leonardo DiCaprio) is screaming like a little kid saying you f****ing b*****d and he hangs on the wall please do that one.
I recall seeing this as a kid on TV....more than 50 years ago. I was blown away by the Serling version with Art Carney........and B.H., has done such a masterful job of capturing this....it's another wonderful thumbs up to his acting talent. I am always impressed that B.H. takes on these difficult roles....and leaves me wanting to see more. Thanks.
A beautiful piece of acting - well done. It's all in the eyes, and the beard is the perfect prop, because it concentrates attention on the eyes - so moving. You've made the drunkenness take us straight to the character's soul, through those eyes. Bravo!
This was one of my favorite Art Carne roles. I'm sure most viewers haven't seen that episode, they owe it to themselves to check it out. It's available on netflix.
You're a funny, man, Brandon, but the truth is that you're a much better SERIOUS actor and I'd like to see you get serious roles in movies. Here's to more movies :cheers:
I just watched the original and was so happy to see that it has a happy ending. Merry Christmas, happy new year, and thanks for posting this, Brandon!
I am SO glad you're doing these again! These re-enactments are so much better than most parts any given actor gets to play on average. It's kind of like a 'Sweded' movie (I'm sure you've seen 'Be kind rewind'): you get just the best parts of a movie re-enacted on a standard that makes you think "hey, I could try that" instead of thinking "I wish I could go into movies but I could never do THAT". I was wondering, would you enjoy doing the 'it's for goat' scene from 'the Terminal' with Tom Hanks?
WOW, again another very good job Brandon. Its glad to see you back again doing these. We have missed them all! Hope your doing well and best of holidays to you.
great job and great episode! I didnt even look at the title and new that was that twilight zone episode thats how good u are! =) good to see u back happy holidays
Tape across the upper lip... That must've hurt taking that off?! You do an embittered old man part quite well. Maybe waiting for your age to match and somebody might just cast you as a drunken santa.
Amazing! Thanks, Brandon, and don't give up acting. You have far too much talent for it and I can't wait to see you in more films one day. Merry Xmas and the best of luck to you!
Very good. Art C would be proud. I think what you need to do it produce your own indy movie right there in town. No more waiting around for for big corporate Hollywood to dole out a part for you. What would you like to do? A comedy? Sci-fi? Love story? You need to find a really kickass local director making stuff on shoe string budgets and volunteer to be his muse and his star. You'll be Puss in Boots to his young man.
You've helped make my Christmas...you've done a reenactment of my all time favorite Christmas story...and from my guessing you did the Art Carney version in which you did a job that makes me stand in awe...personally I've seen these reenactment you do and I think to myself why does Hollywood have to be stupid like the rest of the world, they hire talentless names while they should have you staring in more lead roles...I'm not just blowing smoke up your ass either. You do Art Carney proud...
I watch you, with ridiculous cotton taped to your face, and you make me weep. You make the character real and the silliness disappears. You do amaze me.
This is beautiful! Your art amazes me more than any other child my age can understand.

Dear Brandon, so good to see you and your wonderful performings back again on YT.
I my opinion there should be an Iffland ring for american actors, too.
Unfortunately only german speeking actors can get that ring and the one who earns it, keep it...until he dies.
(momentarily Bruno Ganz holds it. You know him from the movie "Der Untergang" as Adolf Hitler)
In my opinion you should be the next...who cares about the mother language!
