  • Isnt it the right of the people to overthrow their government if they feel it's been hijacked by tyranny ? or the people's right to change the government in anyway they want in America or in any democratic country ? Or do they just have to bend over and take their so-called punishment ?

  • This is creepy.

    

  • creepy if you ask me....just creepy

  • When I get to heaven I'm gonna have a lager with Washington and talk shit bout the Brits

  • @DWarrior4 - Washington was a "Brit" by blood no wonder he became a great man

  • @DWarrior4 Do hope that Winston Churchill doesn't overhear you. ;]

  • @DWarrior4 Can I join you?

  • Holy crap that's amazing! When was this made? For what production? Was the actor in much makeup or is that how looks?

  • thats not him it was the 1700s no internet or video cameras

  • in the beginning washington looks like he smoked a blunt or two...anyways, he must be turning in his grave right now with the way the U.S is operating...I don't remember reading about saying it's ok to be "Corporate America"

  • @TheVenturino123 And now this NDAA Act and the PATRIOT Act ? I see nothing patriotic about it . And Canada is going down the same hole . Our own Founding Fathers or Fathers of Confederation as we call them with John A. McDonald must be turning over in HIS grave with the way things are now . I hope things get better in America . :/ .

  • George Washington set a precedent for all the other presidents...

  • Very good. The teeth are good too

  • GEORGE WASHINGTON WAS NOT THE FIRST PRESIDENT of the United States. He was the 8th President of the United States

    John Hansen. The Maryland delegate to the Continental Congress was elected president in 1781, just before the time of Lord Cornwallis's surrender at Yorktown, Virginia.

    His official title was "President of the United States Assembled"

  • and to the traitors: you "..shall be drawn to the gallows, not walking or carried.."

  • ANONYMOUS respects this man. It's funny people who support these notions now days get in trouble. If George Washington came back he would be labeled a terrorist protester like us. . I can see the FBI ceasing his property as a citizen yes what's this a book about liberty that's against the law. A bible your Christian well it's unlawful to have hate crime material. Look a gun that's definitely against regulations in the city Washington DC. Your a terrorist sir deemed a threat.

  • Thankyou very much your portrayal is utterly brilliant i have subscribed and a big nig thumbs up for a brilliant video

  • Very cool, Long Live Liberty

  • Outstanding! Just one thing - your diction smacks too much of actor training. Washington would never sound like that - he was born in Virginia and never lived outside of the US. Otherwise, your portrayal is uncanny!!!

  • Fine job! Excellent! I love this!

  • You were wonderous!! Thank you for this. I love our founding fathers. We need their example now more than ever. Best wishes to you friend. Thank you.

  • Please Almighty God from Heaven Above Give us our Founding Father's Love. Let us gvie back to our fellow man our hand our heart our constant being friends, let not silver, gold , diamonds or real estate make us who we are but by a handshake and our word dear Lord let us go far, let our government not go back in debts again, but let us keep our words, our honor, our mind by leaving corruption and being a sell out behind. Let us be a witness and show good character to our young and our old and

  • George Washington looks scary

    !

  • @1kathak Alas it's from the teeth .... but I think the portrayal is wonderful.

  • We need George Washington today more than ever.

  • nice performance!

  • That is my uncle.

  • Thats my uncle.

  • I thank you all for your comments. They prove you have a voice and are willing to be heard. It was an incredible honor to portray this man. He is forever a part of me now and I am working to bring him to life on screen soon. The full version of this speech is posted on my page. You can leave messages and questions there. Learn from history! Wisdom can be found in our footsteps.

  • wow he really looks like the painting of washington

  • Uhh, Mr. Washington, can you explain to us how it feels like to be on YouTube?

  • Washington was opposed to political parties. It would be nice if people understood his position on that important issue.

  • Wow that guy looks scary

  • Creepy... GW was far from this deteriorated at this point in the war. Perhaps in 1799... Not 1782 or 83... He was still pretty vibrant. No more gray or old than Jon Stewart has become in his late 40's...

  • This is one of the reasons, I view him as our greatest President. He and Jesus are the only world figures I know, who refused to become a king.

  • Utterly brilliant.

    Thankyou very much for sharing.Can we have more please ?

    Kind Regards

  • @poetryanimations

    He looks like Henry Winkler--the Fonze.

  • It's been a long time since you've done this. You've probably grown quite a lot as an actor since, and if you're a fan of Washington, may have learned more about him since. Is there anything you'd change about this interpretation? I thought you'd carried off the body language of an older man very well, which is hard to do.

  • Well it is said that George Washington and all the other colonialists or Americans at that time and stretching well into the 1800's sounded more like British people when they spoke back then.

  • So nice to see George Washington.

  • This is a shortened version of the speech.  Though I did perform the speech in it's entirety as well. I may post it soon...

  • @jilonV Was / Is this part of a series / mini-series produced by Ron Maxwell, or just an out-take of the Newberg speech? I'd like to know, because if a series, I'd enjoy watching it, I am sure.

  • @jilonV

    awesome video

  • Is this the entire speech? I ahve read that this speech left Washington's officers (who had been encouraging him to do a military coup) in tears. Washington's words were said to also invoke the memory of men who had fought with them and died, and that to overturn Congress and replace it with a military government would be a dishonouring of the sacrifice those men had made. This actor does a fine job that convincingly invokes the low-key intensity I suspect Washington may have conveyed.

  • Many years ago I had the honor of working as an extra in the miniseries titled "George Washington: The Presidential Years." Some of the lines from this monologue came from that very miniseries.

  • awesome performance!! AS to those who are leaving the most asinine comments. People. use your head. LATE 1700'S!!!! IT'S 300 YEARS AGO!!!!!

  • This guy (actor) is creepy.

  • Very good job.

  • He's seriously like a deity or something.

  • Where can I see this whole film?

  • This cannot possibly be the REAL George Washington, because they didn't have color film back then. Duh! I guess the film maker should have thought of that before producing this in color. Gotcha!

  • @white89euro lmao idk if you realized they didnt have photographs back then

  • @white89euro they dint have any film back then. you could even take a photos cuz the first photo was done in 1826 and he died in 1799. so its there is not even a photo of hime no film no recording of his voice. all not possibile. that most people watchin this belife its rly him shows the stupidity of amaricans and the reason why this country fails. its full of idiots. and without all the imigrants wich are the smart people in the usa it would have failed a long time before.

  • .....Are some of you people who question if that actor is really the father of our country on drugs? Of course he's not!
