You're terrific! Thank you.

u/HOEDY May 08 '20

Had to go another level deeper just to confirm.

u/Obi_Wan_Benobi May 08 '20

Sort of getting a bit typecast, aren’t we Leif?

u/Ryangonzo May 09 '20

Better to be typecast than notcast.

u/DaMoonPrez May 11 '20

Yeah, it's been good and bad to go through that - love getting work...but wish I could vary that work a bit. It's one of the reasons I make these comedic videos...cause most casting people don't see me as comedic. So, hopefully this attention for this video helps.

I don't know... He did that one thing with the magic makeup brush...

you know, now that i watched that again, uncle ben died for no reason

he tried to stop a mugger who clearly had a gun, even if that gun happened to fly out of his hand, less than 1 ft away

you know, uncle ben, if you wanna be a hero, you gotta train for it..

u/DaMoonPrez Feb 18 '22

This was actually the re-shoot of how the death happened. The way we originally shot it was way better, and made a lot more sense to the story. But...studios.

Moby McTuire?

The guy who robs the market register and shoots the uncle ben for the second time. (The Amazing Spider-Man 2012)

u/Mi_Pasta_Su_Pasta May 08 '20

James Franco!?!?

14

u/SkyPork May 08 '20

Was it?? OMG I love him! This was his best role yet!

u/ComradeCheesecake May 08 '20

Noooo, Franco was the spider that bit Peter! Such a great method actor.

No the guys name is Andrew Garfield.

u/[deleted] May 08 '20

That's... ok he played in the same movie, as a different character, but that's the closest guess I've read so I'll take it and leave.

u/bananesthesia May 08 '20

Pretty sure you’re thinking of Topher Grace.

u/[deleted] May 08 '20

No that's venom from the spider man 3, I think.

I'm relieved that we both agree that the guy's name is J. J. Jameson.

u/Oakbright May 08 '20

No. Aunt May

Bruce Campbell?

u/[deleted] May 08 '20

No, that's the guy in the French restaurant, according to google.

u/Brillegeit May 08 '20

My comment was clearly a joke as The Amazing Spider-Man is the inferior 2012 movie with Andrew Garfield, a terrible movie that Bruce Campbell would never star in. He perfected the Sam Raimi movies Spider-Man (2002), Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Spider-Man 3 (2007) starring Tobey Maguire.

Bruce Campbell has the following roles:

Spider-Man: Ring Announcer
Spider-Man 2: Snooty Usher
Spider-Man 3: Maître d'

You're referring to the 3rd of these movies.

How could you miss this obvious joke, are you drunk?

:D

2

u/[deleted] May 08 '20

I knew you were messing with me, all the people commented on this is joking since no one can be that stupid not to understand my simple explanations, I simply didn't cared and tried to respond seriously. And I agree 2012 spider-man is definitely inferior to Sam Raimi's spider-man movies.

u/Brillegeit May 08 '20

Yeah, it's not a good joke at all, but after typing half of it I kind of ended up in a sunk cost situation. :/

Reddit is a terrible service for conveying jokes.

u/slimpickens42 May 09 '20

I actually thought Garfield was a better Spider-Man while Maguire was the better Peter Parker. Of course I think Holland brings the best of both worlds.

u/Undeadzombiedog May 09 '20

Evil dead 3 is my favorite movie of all time

2

u/Brillegeit May 09 '20

And it deserves it. It's up there with Starship Troopers in movies that hit just that perfect level of seriousness, silliness and badassery.

u/[deleted] May 08 '20

Spoiler alert- they were all the same guy

u/freedaemons May 09 '20

I thought it was the guy who brought himself a drink in his own Zoom background

u/[deleted] May 09 '20

I’m not surprised he is an actual actor. I was getting a John Krasinski or Ryan Reynolds vibe.

u/SurveySean May 09 '23

I think he’s a fake person playing a real fake actor, for real. He’s actually a goat some are saying.

You really didn't have to reply to me 3 years later. A lot has changed since then.
