Tom has so much emotion in his performance! It's amazing how you can tell what a great actor he is, even in this small clip. He's not just reading the lines. Great job Tom! Good Luck!

default userpic

Congrats lovey! Consider me your pimp.

default userpic

good luck tom! you're the best!

default userpic

Tom's subtle approach to this monologue really stands out to me more than the videos with a lot of editing/over acting. Great Job!

default userpic

The first time I saw Tom act was in Bye Bye Birdie in 2002...I know he can succeed on Breaking Bad and deserves to win!!

default userpic

Giving my final opinion on each contestant.

This one is way overblown and unbelievable. I think he understood the lines, but took the wrong approach at almost every turn. Gadi is at one extreme, giving too little. Tom is at another extreme, giving too much of the wrong things.

Just my constructive comment on the top two (self?) vote getters so far.

default userpic

Tom! You are amazing!!! You have great experience from performing in multiple plays and you utilized those skills in this clip. You have my vote!

default userpic

Go Toooooommmmmm!

default userpic

In response to gdt's comment: i think it's meant to be that way...from the dialogue you can tell that he's hurrying to share this piece of himself with the people he loves...and who wouldn't come on a bit strong given those circumstance

default userpic

this guy IS THE BEST! wulfdawg was right about you!

default userpic

He was born an actor-this clip proves it-go Tommy

default userpic

WOW! AH-MAZING! Truly moving ... very believable!

default userpic

I feel you in this video ... really nice work.

default userpic

woo hoo!!!!!

default userpic

TOM! i

default userpic

tomm your amazingggggggggggggggggggg, i want yourr bod

default userpic

This is awesome, I was having suicidal thoughts but you give me a reason to go on, I love you

default userpic

Vote for Tom! He's the clear winner!!

default userpic

Apparently this guy is only getting his groupie girls to vote for him...that doesn't show talent. I mean seriously? this guy has nothing.

vote for someone with real talent!

default userpic

Tom is the greatest!

He puts his heart and soul into everything he does!

We wish him a lot of luck!

Love ya!

default userpic

voted...yay Tom!

default userpic

Hey Vidah groupie girls sell movies, shows, albums, clothing lines etc. I mean look at Pete Wentz....I'm sure Tom should take that as a compliment! Imagine all the fangirls you can have Tom!

default userpic

Go Tom! Great performance!!!

default userpic

WOOT! TOM!!!!! YOU GOT THIS!

default userpic

hope you win

default userpic

hope you win

default userpic

I like the unintentional darkness in the room. But the problem here is the amount of line reading from the posted script on the actors right.

user-pic

Hey Guys, Thanks for all the support! Keep those votes coming! Let's keep this clean though, and I'll make sure the people who vote for me don't put others down. We're not trying to run a mud-slinging competition here!

Also, just noticed what you were talking about mikerouthbaum, and I never noticed how much I was looking to my right. I didn't have any script there, though, but I do totally look there alot! I'll have to remember to review my videos for things like that next time.

Thanks again everybody! I'll keep my fingers crossed!

default userpic

yay tom!

default userpic

your inner italian is showing :P

default userpic

just remember i knew you when...

default userpic

Some thing about this video really draws me in. I'm not quite sure what it is, but I'm intrigued.

default userpic

I noticed that he was looking to his right too, but then I thought to myself: even if he is referring to a script, it doesn't SOUND like he's reading. You can still hear the emotion in his voice. You got my vote Tom! :)

default userpic

Good job Tom. You'll go far.

default userpic

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. Tom's eyes and expressions have enough emotion, and you know exactly what he's feeling, even without seeing or hearing him say the words. Great job!

default userpic

From Charlie Brown to this....way to go Tom! You will always be the Rooster to my Lily ;)

default userpic

Good luck brotherbear!

default userpic

Hey Tom... Good Luck from Arizona!!!

default userpic

Pretty good acting in deed,

default userpic

Did you read Toms note? It is very diplomatic! He knows this is a competition and welcomes the kind words, if its critique or congratulations! I wish him all the best and hopes he makes it to the show!

default userpic

good luck Tom. Definately the best video up here.

default userpic

Hey Tom, YOU ROCK!!!! You soooo deserve this!! Good Luck from me and all the girls at the salon!!! You know we are your biggest fans!!!!!!!!

Good luck Tom,

*******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

Tom! Watched all the finalists. I'm hooked on the series, "Breaking Bad" and you blew all other applicant's away! I'm picky. I don't even take time and vote- forget comments. You have the talent needed and you'd add depth and realism to an already excellent show. Take it easy!
