Spacey Does Classic Movie Impersonations

Monday November 2, 2009

Kevin Spacey is a great actor, and I knew he did a fantastic Christopher Walken impersonation, but I didn't realize the incredible range of his classic actor impersonations.

Hat tip to Cinematical for reposting this great 2000 clip from Inside the Actor's Studio, where Spacey whips through a bewildeirng array of impersonations in a matter of minutes. His Katharine Hepburn and Marlon Brando takes will make you laugh out loud. He's got the voices and the mannerisms down pat, not to mention quicksilver timing.

Watch the whole thing, and then watch this old Saturday Night Live clip for dessert. His Walken is wunderbar -- be sure to stay tuned for his Walter Matthau. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.
