Your acting was absolutely amazing, Luke. As I mentioned in that initial round, the production might not be extraordinary, but good production can mask good acting.
Anyway, I hope you win!
great job!
luke gave an incredible performance
I really like the raw feeling of this video. In my opinion, these types of videos showcase whether or not a person can truly act. And in this case, the guy in the video can definitely act. I think he should be the winner.
Very impressive.
you're really talented luke! you deserve to win this contest
Luke's acting was fantastic.
Marvelous!
This was a very powerful performance. I really enjoyed it.
you did a terrific job luke!
I love this video. Luke really knows what he's doing. He's truly gifted.
From one finalist to another, I just wanted to say congratulations and good luck in the second round!
Here's to making the Top 10!

I think this performance by Luke is the best of the bunch. Some of these other videos are pretty good, but in my opinion, Luke's is the best.
Well done!
you're a tremendously good actor luke! you have such enormous talent.
excellent job
The acting in this video is absolutely spectacular.
bravo luke!
that was a superb display of acting
I'm glad to see that this person made it as a finalist. I remember mentioning in the last round how I thought that this individual had outstanding pacing. A lot of people who attempt an acting career have trouble with that, but not this guy.
If I had to pick the most impressive submission in the contest, this person would be my choice.
sensational performance!
the video was great. luke did a masterful job.
This is first-rate acting.
Fantastic work.
you were brilliant, luke!
The performance was phenomenal.
I believe Luke's acting is the best out of all the videos in the contest. Hopefully, he becomes the winner.
you definitely have a lot of talent luke. awesome job!
splendid!
Congrats on being a finalist and good luck!
William Howard
Good luck Luke,
*******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
this video deserves two big thumbs up!
Luke's performance was outstanding.
I've seen all of the finalists, and I feel that this person stands out from the rest. His acting is the cream of the crop. He has an excellent grasp of the subtleties that it takes to be a great actor.
that was ace! you were sensational luke.
i found this performance to be very riveting. i loved every second of it.
epic!
this is acting at its finest. i really think luke should win.
You did wonderful, Luke!
The breathing is so distracting. Lines are so forced. I'm sorry, but it's just not a very good piece of acting.
I must say, I strongly disagree with "GDT." I don't think the lines are forced at all. In fact, everything seems natural and in context. I think the person was striving for a feeling of someone who's really nervous, worried and/or remorseful, hence the breathing. I believe you really have to look at the emotion in context. I've seen all of the contestants in the final round, and I think the acting from this individual is the best and the most natural out of all of them.
Yeah, I don't know what GDT is seeing either. The lines are definitely not forced. I'm willing to bet GDT has never taken an acting course, or doesn't know that much about acting. The person in the video did a perfect job of delivering the lines, as they flowed with his great emotion. I've been an actor for over 10 years, and I can tell you that he gave an absolutely stellar performance. I've also had the chance to see the other finalists, and I think that this person is the best of the bunch.
that was top-notch acting. as someone else pointed out, this guy has a remarkable understanding of the subtleties that an actor needs in order to give a proper and good performance.
You did a glorious job Luke! I loved the video.
this was masterfully done
i really like what i saw. the performance was gripping. it really pulled me in, which all great dramatic performances should do.
Amazing!
So Luke loves Breaking Bad and The X-Files? This is clearly a guy of impeccible taste :D
Luke has my vote! Best wishes from Australia, Lyle.
terrific acting
The thing I like about this video is that it feels natural. The emotion, the lines, the hand movements, the eyes, everything seems to glide naturally together. Nothing is forced. If I had to pick my favorite performance in the contest, this would be the one.
That was definitely some fine acting. Great work.
superb job, luke!
Well luke, i can say i'm not suprised u made it to the 2nd round. you obviously have the talent and the know how, and at this rate u r destined for the final round. You exude a rare passion in ur video that most actors wont give. Most actors will play the part, u ARE the part. anyway, i do wish u best of luck on the next round, and i expect to be seeing u in the final round
whoops, i meant to say i hope to see u on the tv series, since this is the final round. anyway, i also wanted to say once again (which i mentioned in the previous round) that u remind me of the late heath ledger. ur a character actor. u don't have one style of acting, as u adapt to the character/scene. once more, i wish u the best of luck, and i hope you come out the winner of this contest!
