Very COOL!!!
Smooth, subtle, just like Don Draper.
Nice acting, kid!

This guy would make a great Don Draper. His moves and actions look very natural, and he is really good lookin'.

default userpic

I agree!

plus, he's totally hot enough.

default userpic

This Colin Dweir guy has the acting chops!

default userpic

Colin Dweir has a natural acting style. He would be great in Mad Men. I would definitely tune in to see this talented young man portray an up and coming ad man. Please choose him!

default userpic

Very natural acting. There is something like a playful
cynicism in this guys style. This is my best choice so far.

default userpic

dude, why isn't this guy an editors pick??

default userpic

OK now I know why my girlfriend insisted I watch this one.
I agree with her that he is my pick too.

default userpic

he's one cocky son of a bitch

default userpic

wow! this guy is unbelievable!

default userpic

amazing acting. this guy should definitely win! he totally captures the feel of the show and its incredible that his acting shows through even such a poor quality of video.

Colin - You're obviously very talented, but did you ask yourself if maybe there was more to this monologue than just being suave? Don Draper isn't just about the whiskey and the cigarettes. Speaking of which, you should really learn to smoke more convincingly. ;-)
But all in all, good job. You've got my vote.

Colin, you are a dead ringer for fellow I dated in college who ultimately went into advertising! If that's not a natural, then I don't know what is!

default userpic

is it just me or at 0:38 does he turn totally gay

default userpic

He looks like Bruce Wayne.

default userpic

Perfect except for one thing...You forgot to shave!

default userpic

very low budget/indie flick-like, plus ur very natural. i like it.

ps, i don't think you look like bruce wayne, but ur not bad lol.

default userpic

A young Bruce Wayne.

default userpic

I like that he made it interesting while keeping it simple. Instead of just doing something random and "creative" with it he just relied on his acting. No offense to everyone else who got creative, but the lines are good enough on their own, ya know?

Anyway, that's my opinion...

default userpic

I think "creative" is ok, who wants to watch the same monologue done the same plain way over and over again, but as far as doing it "straight" I agree that this guy does it exceptionally good.

Hurray, Colin! Remember that I voted for you after you're famous!


P.S.
You're totally hot enough to be Don Draper. Totally.

default userpic

I have looked at so many of these videos Including the Editors picks and I am calling it a night now. But first congratulations Colin Dweir. You get my Vote. I teach drama and boy could my kids learn something from your commitent to the word. Thanks good sir...

default userpic

We are already big fans of the show anyway... but I think this video has super acting although the technical quality might have been better but good acting and what my wife just called some tasty eye candy goes a long way to remedy that. Thats why we are voting for this fellow.

i looooove this video. thats all.

default userpic

this guy is a devilish wee.

default userpic

what an astounding performance!

default userpic

so many have so much extra stuff this one is just plain really good acting and he is really cute.

default userpic

Well My friend told me to watch this one b-4 I voted and it is the best! Colin Dweir is really good!

default userpic

ok, so Ive seen all the newest entries and Colin is still the best.
ty is good too, he is more conversational, but Colin is just as realistic and puts more behind the monologue
Also, what's with everyone's crazy weird videos? let the words speak for themselves. this should be about acting, not who knows more camera tricks.

default userpic

colin you are amazing!

default userpic

Best job by far. I don't agree with the comment that this is not a "creative" video. I think it is sufficiently "creative" that he created a completely different Don Draper, made him his own, and gave a fine, believable performance.

default userpic

Colin. Nice job. I felt like this was a clip right out of a movie. A good movie.

default userpic

nice work!

default userpic

Great job! Really cute too!
Definitely a legit contender for the winning entry

default userpic

charming

default userpic

i don't know why this guy isn't an editor's pick...

default userpic

He's not an editors pick because its not strange or ironic or unexpected in any way. It doesn't stand out. This isn't an audition for a new charatcter, this is a contest for a walk on role. They don'thave to worry about if the person who wins can really act or not.

default userpic

sucks to that!

default userpic

New character or not this guy rocks

default userpic

I really like this actor. Walk-on or whatever he has real charisma. Nice work.

default userpic

My choice. This guy reminds me of Rod Serling from the old twilight zone show! He should be in something thats for sure! He also kind of spooks you if you know what I mean, in a good way.

default userpic

Colin you get my vote! What do the editors picks have that you don't. Your look is really cool and you act like someone who should be doing movies! Good show!

default userpic

Hahaha - I love the way you say ---"YOU......... are OK"!! You are really super. I also saw your youtube of Impossuble Dream! Excellent!!

default userpic

I LOVED THIS ONE. IT VIBRATES WITHOUT USING
A PRODUCTION TEAM ; JUST ONE REALLY GOOD ACTOR. TAKE A BOW COLIN.

default userpic

Colin did you ever act in 2 1/2 men or a different show or a movie? You look very familiar,

default userpic

wow- How come you aren't on the editors list yet?

default userpic

Thanks for the kind words everybody! And those of you coming to my defense against not being picked by the editors: if you read the contest guidelines, you'll see the videos are being judged on "originality and/or compelling nature of video content" and "quality of final product."

Now, I put a lot of effort into my performance, and I'm proud of how it turned out, but the quality of the video overall is admittedly nothing special. I didn't add any music or effects, and there aren't multiple cuts - it's just me, sitting in a swivel chair, speaking into a severely outdated digital camera set to video mode held by my zero-camera-work-experience girlfriend. And let's face it; there's nothing too original about that.

Anyway, it was a helluvalot of fun to film, especially since that's real whiskey I'm drinking and by the last few takes I was wasted! Maybe I should have uploaded one of those...

Oh, and "littlered" - no, I've never been in 2 1/2 Men or any other TV show or movie, but I get that a lot. I guess I just have one of those faces. I wonder if that works for or against a struggling actor...?

default userpic

I know little, I agree. There ain't no justice in this sad ol' world. Good Luck Colin Dweir

PS - Here's the link to that Impossible Dream video on youtube that Usdan4ever mentioned: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFYEP4nFg-0

In case anyone's interested.

default userpic

ooooooooooo I voted for him! what a sexy hunk.

Colin Dweir You ------------------> Are ok

Nope you are super in this and I went to see your youtube. You should forget about walkons man and go get a Broadway Show.

default userpic

fabulous and fabulous you tube also. Gets my vote

default userpic

Great Job and I am checking out Impossible Dream. Oh and I voted for you by the way.

default userpic

You look so different in the youtube! I would vote for that one too. You are realllly attractive both ways but I think you look better w/o the beard even though you look good with it.
I am going to tell my friends to look at these also. You are a very talented person I must say.

default userpic


I like how he makes these little quirky facial expressions like he knows something I don't and it's about me. He is very smooth and yes Tyran, he is hot but I like the beard better.

default userpic

Colin you can tell that your video was made without good equipment but you are still able to see how good you are. Don't worry I think you should win.

default userpic

You like the beard better than what mallrat lol What are you talkin about girl!
Super video Colin Dweir. Got my vote

default userpic

Think its great good luck

default userpic

Oh my god! He is awesome, Colin blows my mind! Definately has my vote.
