all you guys made a mistake, vote for tom kida, he blows this guy out of the water, no offense Gadi, but its time to admit defeat
Going to give my final impression for each contestant and figure i'll start here.
Devoid of all emotion. An actor acts with his eyes, and Gadi's do nothing for me at all. Just something to keep in mind for the future. Good luck.
For the jerks who don't know good acting...comment elsewhere.
I think you show great emotion Gadi and do a great job reenacting the character. You've got this!
go ahead show the hatas wat acting is
I agree there was no emotion in the eyes. Just a blank stare..
mad haters leaving you comments........poor critics
you did an awesome job man. don't listen to those haters."there's no emotion and blah blah blah" Great job man
Great job! love the video!
keep this up Gadi. i wanna see this face on TV really soon...
The best video!
good luck gadi! love your work
GADI IS AN AWESOME ACTOR SRRY THAT YOU GUYS DONT KNOW HIM THE WAY THAT I AND THE REST OF HIS FAMILY DO, BUT HE CONSTANTLY IS ACTING AND MAKING US LAUGH AND DOES IT WITH ALOT OF EMOTION!!!
Good Work Cuz..Keep It Up..GoodLuck!!!
and remember LET YOUR HATERS BE YOUR MOTIVATORS!!!!
Great work! keep it up!
TOO ROBOTIC. acting is extremely dry and boring. maybe better luck next time
Forget the comments by the haters. You're going to go far baby boy. They don't know you so they have no idea how great you truly are!!!!
Hey, at least it was professional, unlike a certain someone who did the same monologue but cut the tape to make it fit the time requirement. Or the guy who didn't wear pants. Props for being a professional gadi and for taking this contest seriously.
The only way this video is doing well has to be because people who don't actually care about acting are voting for their friend, probably 10-20 times each.
Or maybe they are voting for someone who actually has talent. Go elsewhere with your comments.
Keep voting for Gadi everyone!
Yo! Its your favorite asian in your 2nd period class! Remember to eat alot of rice to keep your good looks, it works!!
Good Luck
Good job, Gadi. I hope you win :)
Damn your sexy. Your eyes glisten and melt me with emotion. Your reenactment of the character is superb and I would definately hit.
You can do it...America needs you...
I agree with Thaasian, rice will help with the skin, and I also agree with I'm Asian Too even though i know he's not asian HA!!!
Anyways....Good Luck!!!!
very awesome! you got my vote.
I am scared that he is Taliban... lol just kidding. looks like he is in an interrogation room.
I agree that Gadi is a little robotic, but his performance definitely picks up at the end.
I disagree with the 'unemotional' comments...
I think his voice is full of emotion, & I see alot of
hurt in his eyes.
This guy is 100% better than the other auditions
on this site.
I'm so excited that you made it to the FINALIST!! You totally deserve it Gadi Respes! Good Luck as I hope the judges pick someone who really displays the best talent and potential for their show!
A good way to gauge an actor's talent is to watch the video with no sound and cover the actor's mouth with your thumb. Your facial expressions and eyes could use some work Gadi, but you did well.
After reviewing the other finalist videos- I see why you have the most votes- great job. And for mikerouthbaum response- if you knew where this scene was coming from you would understand the scene and actors choice of behavoir. Job well done! You have my vote! Good luck
I love you.
So much better than pantsless magee.
Gadi is awesome
Gadi is awesomer
I'm glad you are wearing pants. It makes yours so much better. and you have lots of emotion.

Gadi, This acting is great! You have some real potential kid, keep it up!
Wow, my friend got me hooked on Breaking Bad. I must say two thumbs up, you really sold Walt!!! Awesome work.
It would be great to see your talents on the show.
Seriously, robotic? Are these people crazy I think your performance was superb.
Your critics are tough, I agree with ladyl, let your haters be your motivators!
This kid has talent.

"At the conclusion of the Finalist Phase, representatives of the Sponsor, including Vince Gillian, (sic) will make the final selection of (1) Grand Prize winner, based equally on creativity, originality, and relevance to theme."
Where's the c o r ?
Words cannot express the gratitude I have for all of you. Many of you I've thanked numerous times, but I can't say it enough. i couldn't have gotten this far without you. However, the competition is far from over. I need everyone to keep telling people about my video. BTW don't worry about what people write about my performance.
To my fellow competitors congratulations on becoming finalists, and good luck to all you.
To my critics thanks for the criticism.
Thank You Again!!!
your so good!! i was on here to vote for a friend but i HAVE to vot for u to!!
what a talent! Hollywood sit up and take notice.
great video if u ever get on tv which is going to happen make shout out to me
Gadi, that was really good :) I almost started to cry haha...I feel bad for Skylar and Walter Jr.! I'm glad you have such incredible character that many of these people's destructive criticism isn't hurting you. You just need to know in your heart that this is where you belong, and you're damn good at what you do!
P.S.: that "Broughton Skoein" person looks like a slut in her picture and had no reasoning for her distasteful comment, and should be ashamed for such childish behavior. Good luck to you, Gadi! I hope you go far!!!
-Courtney (from accounting) :)
Are you kidding me 'badnewsbold'? You are the one displaying very childish behavior. I would be embarrassed to have your vote. Your comment about Brougton is very distasteful and foolish.
Please leave and never come back to this site.

*******FINAL ROUND
(Once Again)
***First and Foremost I would like to express deep appreciation to all those who have supported my BB efforts by either voting, leaving a positive comment or both. Even to any negative responses that may arise, thank you for your different views and perspectives. Thus far, it's been a highly entertaining contest. I've been honored to compete amoungst some very creative contestants who have left admiration, smiles, frowns, and even question marks on our faces at times through there well thought out re-creations of Walts provided monolgues.
*******To AMCTV, I'd like to show appreciation for deciding to provide the opportunity for a contestant to win a walk-on role onto Vince Gilligans Breaking Bad Series, along with $1000. The desicion to distribute 10 copys of the series to first prize winners is also generous.
*******To Vince Gilligan I'd like to express my sincere gratitude as well. The show is extremely intriguing and well written. You've mastered the ability to keep the audience on the edge of there seat. The show is undeniably entertaining, moreover, I've seen an interview in which you've stated that the purpose of the show isn't to glorify breaking bad (going that route) but to bring to the surface the fact that there are always consequences to the decisions we choose. That message is well recieved. I desire to contribute to the vision that has already been set into motion. I look forward to working with you in the near future if yourself and the accompanying panel of representatives decide I'm the best choice in regards to further business relations.
*******Thank Everyone once Again & KEEP VOTING!
Thanks & Good luck to all co-contestants
Good job, Gadi. Keep it up! =D
you're cute
