That moment when Christopher Lee says on the set of Lord of the Rings, a person stabbed on the chest doesn’t sound like that, gives a glimpse into his military service.

I'm surprised that Bob Hoskins wasn't on the list. The biggest reason "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" achieved what it did in a time when nothing like it had been done before was almost entirely due to Hoskins performance. Apparently, in order to work with a majority of characters that weren't real Hoskins trained himself to hallucinate. In interviews he told people that while he was performing he could see the characters that he was performing with. Animators on the project even said his performance was so perfect that they were able to use his eyeline to determine where the character was meant to be in the scene. The down side to this experience is that it took Hoskins quite a bit of time to unlearn this ability as it began to happen in his everyday life. Now that's impressive.

All these things are nothing compared to the real impressiveness of some of these. For instance, In Immortal Beloved where Gary Oldman plays Beethoven, that's actually Gary playing all those fantastic piano pieces, in True Lies Arnold actually learned to fly that harrier jet, and in Master and Commander Russell Crow learned to play the violin for that role in just three months and said it was the hardest thing he ever had to do. Those facts are much more impressive than turning down a role or making a fortune before Hollywood stardom, or any of the other things you claim in this video as impressive.

Hedy Lamar co-invented a very rudimentary form of spread spectrum technology. Spread spectrum is used in wi-fi and GPS, but is merely a TINY part of the technology required. This is like saying that the inventor of the O ring is responsible for the internal combustion engine. It is indeed impressive that she devised such an innovative piece of technology, but your statements as to her contributions are GROSS exaggerations.
