Jamie Costa: You're hired

Post by Jersey Girl »

I saw this in today's headlines, then toddled over to youtube to see the full video. Not much mesmerizes me. This man has got Robin William's voice, speech pattern, mannerisms, facial expressions, and physicality, DOWN. Watch the 5:09 video and I can assure you, it will take you away on a brief journey and leave you wanting more. His performance is simply jaw dropping.

That was pretty good. He even kind of looks like Williams.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

Listen to it with your eyes closed.

He's developed his accent, his voice tones, all the little nuances in his speech pattern. When he dropped into the deep voice, I couldn't believe it. I must have watched this 5-6 times already.

With eyes open...it is simply captivating. The way Robin Williams carried his body, even when he pushes the chair back, how he holds his head down, the posture when he clasps his hands...the physicality of the performance. It's astounding.

I always thought Glenn Close was awesome as his mother in the World According to Garp. I mean she actually looks like she could be his biological mother.
