An Angel Of All Angels

This first video hit the web a couple of weeks ago. It features Chris Klein, a really bad actor, auditioning for a role in the film adaptation of Mamma Mia. Now, I have no idea whether or not it's actually real. It was pulled from most sites without a word from his publicist. The guy's career has really gone down the toilet in the past ten years, so I wouldn't put it past them to put this out as some kind of publicity stunt. Just to get his name bandied about. Except that he REALLY seems coked-out to me. Here...you decide.


So real or not real...who really knows? Who really cares? I'm fascinated by it! I think I've watched it around 20 times now, and it keeps getting funnier...every time I watch it!

Well, Klein and the gang at Funny Or Die have came out with a video response to the supposed leaked audition tape last week. And...wow, I can't believe I'm saying this...it was actually kinda funny. Again...you decide.

I don't know that I'd say that Chris Klein is a really bad actor - has he even been in enough movies to say that?

The FOD clip was pretty awesome.

;)

I never liked him before (I mean, when he dated Katie Holmes, which is really the only way I know him, I think), but he's kinda cute. Can't sing at all, though.

Slyde said...

everything hes done since American Pie has been shit.

Verdant Earl said...

Avitable - Yeah...he's done enough acting to label him as bad. Check out some clips from "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li" on Youtube. It will give you chills.

Holly - American Pie, Election, Rollerball, American Dreamz, etc...

Sybil - No idea that he dated Katie Holmes. And now she is a zombie. See? (OK...Tom Cruise did that to her)

Slyde - I liked Election, but I don't know if that was before or after American Pie. And he wasn't the strongest part of that film. Pick Flick!

at first i was like...whaat?? is this for real?? cuz he kinda creeps me out like that for reals... then i started giggling... and now... i wish bill paxton was MY dad too.

Heff said...

Yep. He's bad.

Dr Zibbs said...

So fake.

RW said...

I don't have sound at work, I never heard of Chris Klein, I have no friends, and there is a bug on my sandwich.

Verdant Earl said...

Diva - And that guy at the Chevron station on Pico DOES look like Axl Rose!

Heff - very bad!

Zibbs - Not so sure about that first one. Not so sure at all...

RW - Maybe the bug wants to be your friend? Maybe it just wants the sandwich...

Speaking as a pimp among prostitutes...I hope the audition clip is real. I mean...WHAT?!?!

First of all...no vocal skills. As in...NONE. I think it's awesome to know that even though this guy has achieved moderate success in Hollywood...he can't hold a candle to my vocal prowess. And no ladies...I'm not joking. If he wasn't coked out of his mind, he should have been.

The second clip is lovely. Also reassuring when celebs don't take themselves too seriously. Laughter really is the best medicine.

Did you hear Gary Coleman died? He had a brain hemorrhage. Which is similar to a stroke, only...different. It's a different stroke.

Never too soon.

Mrs. Hall said...

yeah, still not ringing a bell

Verdant Earl said...

Doggie - Sweet Dead Gary Coleman joke! Never too soon.

Holly - s'okay. You are probably better off.
