This is Lewis McElroy`s superb contemporary interpretation of Shylock`s "pound of flesh" speech from Shakespeare`s "The Merchant Of Venice". I defy anyone to find a better version on youtube ! For more on Lewis see his showreel on youtube. Lewis can next be seen in the highly anticipated revenge thriller "Vicious Culture" being released in Spring 2009.

  • This isn't bad, considering he's a young actor with no training. However, the suggestion that it's 'awesome' is way off the mark. There's no sense that the words are coming spontaneously to him and the random, unfocused shuffling around and often vague gestures are distracting. Interpreting the speech in this 'angry young man' way is one thing but the overlong pauses kill any drama he's trying to create. On the plus side, he has a decent voice and an interesting face. Good luck for the future!

  • @hiphopcows you have written 5 comments so far if I've counted right and I don't care if anyone agrees or disagrees with you, your the one who "can't bear" this video so maybe you should just stop looking at it and it won't wind you up as much

  • Hiphopcowz this is Lewis. I understand what your saying and I don't mind about critics, it got me a lot if work any how. But no one seems to be going on about it writing loads of comments, your the only one, so maybe you should drop it because I've not seem craglea or whoever it is going on making a big fuss about it. Only you

  • ok..i know i havent commented in a while and i dont want to start this up again with "cragleah" but anyways......lewis no offence but im not the biggest fan of this video but im sure youre a good actor....in anycase you cant be an actor and not have critics and i have nothing against you.what annoys the hell out of me is your friend here who put this video up and acts like youre gods gift to mankind.....he cant BEAR to have ANYONE say they didnt enjoy this video as much as he did. its annoying

  • done memorizing!

  • @cragleah lets not get carried away.....

  • @cragleah woah woah woah......take it easy!! hahaaha

  • @porhmonkey ....so true.......

  • @cragleah its too "copying pacino" if you get what i mean....its not bad.......quite good...but its not the best...its like you watched the pacino video and did this immediately after that.....personally i think pacinos is better......but this is alright
