Ray Liotta is one of the best "yelling" actors ever. It seems like he yells in every movie, but he does it so well.

[@alilacherruse]

If you never saw Something Wild (Directed by Jonathon Demme(sp?)) you really should. His first major roll. Incredible performance. & just a blast of a movie. & Yes, he YELLS in it!

She stayed in character the entire time with that absolutely hilarious goofy look on her face!!

[@SuperChuckRaney]

I had a high school buddy, all 6'5" of him, do the same thing for 2 hours at the DMV for a Driver's License photo. It was Emmy worthy.

3:57 for half a second you can see him smiling

[@rustinstardust2094]

I was laughing and wincing at the same time. I grew up around child actors and it's a big deal when a kid playing a kid on a show suddenly goes through puberty. It's usually marked by them losing their job or job prospects, and the feeling of rejection hits them hard. The roles they play change drastically and not in line with their actual maturity level. Like puberty doesn't suck enough already...

Everyone who "developed" early like me has got to feed this deep in their soul. This is a good skit on so many levels, but it smacked me right in the memories.

So this is what Henry Hill did during Witness Protection. It's genius actually. Nobody would ever think to look for him on the set of a children's television show... in a big giant pink ass dragon.
