FUNNY

The Fresh Wizard of Bel-Air

Guy does a Sir Ian McKellen -style rendition of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme. Too awesome.

Also, this guy does a pretty good Sir Ian McKellen impression. I'll leave you all to squabble over whose impression is better in the comments.

That guy doesn't look like he should sound like that.

He really doesn't look like he'd be capable of such a voice. It's impressive. His Ducktails one is pretty funny too.

This really should be frontpage.

I've seen many impressions but this guy has it almost spot on (with a few exceptions when he gets animated / raises his voice.. then it's just too much). But yeah, amazing performance on his part.

When I saw the headline, I figured it would be someone doing a "Mr. B, The Gentleman Rapper" impression like so: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6t28COxEp2k

This was entertaining though.

He is Hunter Davis -- http://www.hunterdavis.net

Judging by a FB screencap on his bio, Sir Ian himself has seen and been amused by the impersonation.

Now if the kid only had a demo reel that wasn't chock full of sub-par productions of mediocre scripts...

You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.

Also, that look doesn't guy like it should come out of that sound.

if it was just this video, it would be ok. As soon as i see he's done about 30 themes in this voice, i can tell he's just all smug and proud of himself about it. then i immediately found it unwatchable and turned it off.

Huge fan of impersonations - yet to find the perfect Pacino, but this bloke has a nearly spot on rendition of Morgan Freeman (if you can sit through an ok Pacino, an overdone Arnie and a mediocre Sly):

One thing I don't like about impersonations is that when the voice actor talks about absolutely nothing and just mimics the voice. Not cool.

It'll be tough to find your perfect Pacino if you look at people doing DeNiro impressions.
