Question of the day: Who is your favorite actor/role?

Published January 24, 2007 by Colin Devroe in Contests

Your top five favorite actors may have just gone through your head, and you could probably list them without even thinking about it. I could tell you that some of my favorite actors and the roles they played is:

  • Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump
  • Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver
  • Jamie Foxx in Ray

And of course, there are several others. But answering this question of the day wouldn’t be fun unless we used Viddler! So I don’t just want to know who your favorite actors are, I want you to impersonate them. Become your favorite actor, play out your favorite scene, get yourself a costume, do whatever it takes – and then record your video or upload your video to Viddler and post it in the comments of this post.

Do you know how? The instructions are the same as responding to the forums using video. If you have any trouble, just ask and we can help you.

I’ll upload mine tomorrow. I’ll pick the best videos and give out something special to my favorite. Happy Viddling!

    [...] Viddler is running a little contest to see who can best impersonate their favorite actor and role. I’m no good at impersonations and I couldn’t find a box of chocolates quick enough to put together a Forrest Gump video, so I threw together this short snippet of me training as Rocky. [...]

    Wonders if Colin has actually ever thrown a punch in his life… Also how was that an impersonation?

    Luke: Sorta.

    James: My impersonation skills are not quite up to a level at which I’d care to try my hand at impersonating, well, anyone. Perhaps you’d like to give it a whirl?

    Well it’s easy to criticise, but I must admit I liked the video. Let me think… whom could I impersonate…. Mr Bean? ;)

    I would enter but the recording button on Viddler is acting a bit wonky…My favorite role is Christorpher Lloyds Reverend Jim of Taxi.
