Special Skills

Every actor in L.A. has a résumé, and every résumé has a section for Accents. One of the sad truths with which I, as a man, have had to come to grips, is that I THINK I do accents waaaay better than I actually CAN. And so, in the interest of honesty, I now present the genuine list of Accents I Can Actually Do:

• Fargo
• Groundskeeper Willie If He Had Lived In Kansas For A Couple Years
• Valiant Stab At Lister’s Accent On “Red Dwarf”
• Fat Southern Lawyer Who’s Maybe A Little TOO Folksy, Like, Doth Protest Too Much, If You Get My Drift
• Australian South African Guy Who Is From New Zealand Originally
• South Boston 69ing JFK
• Old-Timey Chinaman
• Eddie Murphy Who Only Knows Eddie Murphy’s Routines From His White Friends Describing Them After The Fact
• Sir Ian McKellen (Please Just Let Me Have This One)
• Bitter Kermit
• Big Ol’ Jew
• Robin Williams’ Little-Used “Surfer” Voice
• Grant Pardee
• Barack Obama If He Guested On “Friends”
• Randy “The Macho Man” Savage (The Phrase “BOOOONESAW IS READYYY!!!” Only)
• Kate Winslet

I’m available for incredibly weird children’s parties.
