Stephen Tobolowsky - Ned Ryerson Audition

[@sajmeister]

What a brilliant actor, one of the most underapreciated character actors ever.

[@sinbad8982]

Don't think he's under appreciated, along with Stephen Root and Joe pantaliano he is one of the most prolific in the business

[@IAmNumber4000]

Incidentally, Ned pops into my head every single time I think of the Bing search engine.

[@coorbin]

Bing AGAIN!!!!

[@nocturnalrecluse1216]

You're just sharp as a tac, today!!

[@ephemerabluetit335]

Bing again!

[@MelissaAndersonTheFutureLegend]

The way he runs in Groundhog Day... Brilliant. 😂

[@masondegaulle5731]

The way he takes the hard push and just leans into it to return at full sales-walk is one of the best bits of physical comedy in recent times. Not overdone & overacted, just perfect.

[@Hephasto]

Wouldn’t you know it, he was there only for a few minutes, but he played great

[@JohnNiemsMusic]

I had to look up Kurt Fuller now and I recognized him and it turns out he's had a great career too. But Stephen's Ned Ryerson's character was spot on that nobody could have done a better job at playing that nerd.

[@WeaselKing1000]

Yeah, I recognise him as the mayor's aide, Hardemeyer, in 'Ghostbusters II'.

[@timfranczyk3293]

One of the best scenes ever…glad it was replayed several times.

[@RobbieBoy33]

That part was made for you in heaven, I've watched it over and over and never have enough.

[@giordanotirelli6028]

Happy birthday stephen for your wonderful 70 years and bring to an infinity to happiness and serenity from italian boy live in rome

[@HBrooks]

i once almost bumped into bill murray, physically. we were both in a hurry to cross an intersection in chicago. he was wearing a plaid suit that was pinkish in color overall. i stopped just in the nick of time to avoid a collision, and waved him on with wide eyes. i SO wanted to say the reyerson line from goundhog day and give him a big hug.. but didn't. perhaps i should have. :P

[@darrinsiberia]

Shoulda woulda coulda I feel you!

[@Tygermetal]

Needle Nose Ned. Always think of this role when I see Stephen. Great actor and storyteller.

[@nocturnalrecluse1216]

@@andygossard4293 BING again!

[@jamesshep909]

Very pleased this cropped up in my recommended!

[@ronricherson6685]

How many times has Stephen heard, "Bing! Ryerson! Ned Ryerson!" on the street. Perfect casting. I was an insurance agent for many years and later taught those going for their licenses. In tips on selling I'd refer to Ned Ryerson and say, "Don't be that guy!"

[@darrinsiberia]

I had a friend who sold insurance the night I met him in a bar in San Francisco when he told me what he did for a living I said without skipping a beat ... Phil... Phil... Phil Conners it's Ned! Ned Ryreson... he didn't know what I was referring to... watched the movie a few days later and felt offended like I was cutting him down. Oh well. That's the new generation for you.

[@akshaytrayner1960]

I love stephen toblowsky he actually understands what groundhog day

[@charlesabbott9605]

I've played your scene will Bill on KZbin for my kids probably no less than two dozen times over their lives. You made that character so Real!

[@TrixiLovesYou]

Such an awesome and versatile actor.

[@giordanotirelli6028]

Happy birthday stephen from italian boy live in rome

[@williamshaw9047]

Stephen needs to write and direct another movie called "Stephen Tobolowsky and Kurt Fuller Share a Hotel Room."

[@aircanuck]

You sir, you, are brilliant.

[@KennyVert]

What a great storyteller!! Sooooo much fun to listen to and watch! “I’m gonna open up a sandwich shop!”😂😂😂

[@drasticwillb]

6:21 What he doesn't say is Kurt went through all of Phil's reactions during the movie. The get away from me, the punch him in the face, and since that ended with a hug that's what he did.

[@patrickwilliams3087]

There could only have been one actor to nail needle nose ned. I'm so happy it was him. He's the reason I watch it.😊

[@301rs]

Good story…I thoroughly enjoyed it! Thx Ned! 😉

[@apelikemenace]

Kurt Fuller seems always like a douchey corporate stooge character actor (ghostbusters) the Ned Ryerson character was more personal and sincere. Especially at the end when Phil Conners figures out his life and buys the insurance And I love Andie's interaction w/Ned. "Let's not spoil it"

[@Thrifty032781]

Tobolowsky wrote that scene.

[@jonneil3086]

That scene is one of the funniest scenes ever

[@pamle1]

PHIIIIL? .... PHIIIIIIIIL!!?

[@BoomerF16CJ]

Excellent!

[@toordal]

BTW: don't worry about Kurt Fuller. He's done just fine, probably as many or more roles as Stephen Toblowsky. It says he has a $3 million net worth compared to $4 million for Stephen; not much difference.

[@JohnSmith-kw9yc]

They made the right choice, you don't owe Mr. Fuller anything.

[@MrDetroitnews]

IAM I RIGHT OR AM I RIGHT, RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT

[@cripplehawk]

I gotta go... *Attempts to flee only to put my foot in a puddle of ice water on the road*

[@youreviltwin]

I have to image that every time Tobolowsky is in an audition waiting room, Fuller is right there next to him.

[@ephemerabluetit335]

The best storyteller!

[@darrinsiberia]

I have missed you So much... I don't know what you have planned today... but can you call in sick? (Runs away hiding erection) genius!

[@jemert96]

When you're such a good actor that you end up stealing a part that was written for another actor lol

[@doughbafett]

I cannot picture Kurt Fuller as Ned Ryerson. He's almost the polar opposite of that character. Especially during that period when he was known for roles like No Holds Barred and Ghostbusters II. If Ramis was gonna write any role for him in Groundhog Day, Larry the cameraman would've made more sense. Chris Elliott was still a better choice, but I could at least see Fuller as that character.

[@victor1963]

Bing!

[@cyruscheng499]

You do insurance?

[@dougo891]

Isn't that Sammy Jenkis??

[@Crisarg]

Binggg again!

[@maroondoor]

"Anyhoo..." 😊

[@mr.milgram2735]

PHIL! - NED?! *Punch*

[@crazyforcoffee5950]

Then remembers there’s a pothole in it and let’s other guy fall victim to it.

[@youtubeblockscomments]

Ned Ryerson spin-off asap

[@Myfavoritecuties]

Spectacular stunt my friends. But off or naught!

[@Luck6903]

Watch that first step it’s a doozie

[@CliffHuxtableSweater]

Bless Kurt, but casting absoLUTEly got this one right. Toblowsky was sooooo f&ck$ng annoying in that movie, which means he was spot on for that role.👌🏾

[@darrinsiberia]

The Audition for Ned Ryreson... haha

[@neomaster007]

Phil? Phil?

[@jimbim4405]

BING!!!

[@XMesandidge]

BING!

[@rustyshakelford1279]

He’s a Doozie!

Happy Chapman

[@myessyallyahamericus8405]

I reject everything you do.

[@FreemonSandlewould]

Kurt Fuller played Colonel Klink as I remember

[@JeffEstep]

that was Werner Klemprer

[@theyellowlightsaber3193]

Not even close, how do you confuse those two? Cos theyre both bald? But Hogans Heroes was the 1960s ffs

[@belovedchild9812]

What a wonderful story. 🫶🏻
