My only question is...why isn't this guy on the show now? Great voice, great timing...
Seriously. He should be on the show. He's perfect for it!
This guy has it down to a tee! The hair, the clothes, the lighting, the delivery, the look...everything! He needs to be on this show!!
Wow! He should definitely be on the show. He's a good actor and he looks like he came out of the 50s/60s...
Fabulous!! You were made for this part! This is by far the best video!
Terrific actor ... even in this small piece you can sense he's a perfect fit for the show. Get him on the cast!
uhhm. i'm suspicious. 100 votes since this morning? it's o.k....but uhm.....i'm suspicious. maybe folks are just creating different e-mails, voting, etc...
Survey says...make more choices...one note
Survey says.....one note? Are you sure you watched this video clip? mmmmm...i'm getting a little suspicious myself......maybe some folks are..... well, you know...anyway, this guy is good..that little pause, that slight lean forward, that tone of the voice..I repeat, this guy is good....definitely more than one note...
Great job Jaime. You've got my vote! Says you were born and raised in Hibbing Minnesota. Isn't that where Bob Dylan's from?
Lovelovelove this Jaime! If there is one show on TV you should be on, it's this one! Fingers crossed!
I think what sets you apart is your voice. You exude a confidence and charm in your voice—something that any successful business man would not only own, but also work to his advantage. Brilliant!
Thanks for the comments and votes everybody! :)
Roger Sterling is my favorite character and I think you did an awesome job! Good luck to you!
Hey Jaime! Thanks for the comments. You made a great choice with your work!
I want to see you on the show for sure.
Roger Sterling is the one character I hate and mostly because of this "best peice of ass" speech. (Also because of the scene when he came out of his office riding on the back of that twin girl.) Wacthing this made me hate Jaime, so congrats on a job well done!
Twiggy's got a point there..you are disgustingly likeable..like you but hate you at the same time
What sets you apart from most of the entries here is your skill and craftsmanship. Many of the entries are shot from different angles, include their own "soundtrack," use somewhat sophisticated cameras and are artfully edited. With you it's just you and either your computer's camera or some other camera that you set up simply and shot your scene. None of your three videos compare technically with the majority of stuff entered here but your acting ability puts you right at the top. I'd really like to see your scenes filmed with the same tools the others have used. Keep it up-I really enjoy your work!
wow- confidence=sex appeal. Love it!
Awesome job- you're my kind of guy. I especially liked the S____-eating grin of yours.
I agree with jack ettz up there...even without all the "bells and whistles" (perfect lighting and all that) your acting talent shines through...Good Luck!
I agree with amc11 above...something's definitely fishy in Denmark with all these votes. I sense a spam expert.
You got me Imcpher!
I've got a pretty good team of Spam experts assembled over here; however, we've only been able to add about 2 votes an hour over the last week. Do you know a way that we could, like, speed up the process or something?
Oh, and I believe it's "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark." But, it very well could be fish.
What can I say? I put my e-mail list to good use.
Jaime- We've watched your video a number of times and think it's fabulous. Love the way you say "roam." And when you say that line "I've had a lot of time to think about the things......" you sound just like-dare I say- Elvis! Keep up the good work! See you on TV or in the movies soon!
JT- regarding "fishy"... dude, kudos on the video and kudos on the networking. It's a COMPETITION & that's what AMC wants...it's a win win.
Thinking about letting out the blazing guns myself..just havent' built up the nerve just yet, maybe I never will - I'm chicken. You got 1 vote from Econjunky. Good luck!
your a great actor!
