How NOT to Get an Acting Job...

Apparently in 1984, legendary film director Stanley Kubrick, launched a campaign to find new actors for his soon to be made film Full Metal Jacket. A Julliard acting student named Brian Atene (then 20) made a video to convince Kubrick to hire him on his excellent acting skills. Now, I'm not Kubrick, but would YOU ever cast this guy due to his ACTING ability?



I really feel bad for the cast of The Outsiders. They are the ones that suffer listening to this guy do their lines.

So, this video was found and broadcast everywhere and people loved it. So, some guy decided he'll pretend to be a grown-up Brian Atene, and do a new video on YouTube now.



HOWEVER! That's not really Brian Atene! If you can handle it, Brian Atene did his own follow up! He makes fun of his original video at the beginning, but then we get to see how his acting skills have matured in the 20+ years since the original!
