Hi Anthony - thank you for your sweet comment. I really enjoyed your take on the monologue. May the best "woman" win! :) - Cara
Awesome job! You deserve to win this
Thanks for your great comments! You actually stole my idea (talking into a bathroom mirror—NOT the crossdressing part) before I could get my video made. So, thanks to you, I had to find a mid-century car! Anyway, good luck and I'm glad we can all be sportsman-like! ;)
LOL! That was the best one! Hope to see you on the show next season!

Great Performance Anthony Bonaventura, I would have you in my lineup any game. Solid performance, from start to finish, you had my attention. Hopefully see you on the big screen soon !!
VIVA LA BONAVENTURA
I have seen all of the videos in the finals, and this one stands out by far, great approach to the character. If you dont win this, something is seriously wrong, i can only imagine what you would do with good directing and around other good actors. Its the best for what it is, you displayed different things about a character that no one else had the creativity to do, or maybe even the balls. MAD MEN, sign this guy up !!
YOU ROCK ;)
Nice Video, you made this character your own, congrats !
Loved it Anthony, your BOBBIE BARRETT is very different from the rest, and different is good ! I hope you win this thing, would love to see you spice things up on the show.

At first I thought you are very good looking, which you are. But the video you did was creepy; I didn't like it at all and it doesn't seem like anything that Madmen is about.
