Hollywood Hopefuls: XionProductions

For this week, I have something a little different. This guy impersonates a wide array of movie/ television characters, as well as real life prominent figures: Napoleon Dynamite, Pedro, the South Park boys, Yoda, George W. Bush, Seinfeld. Everyone will be able to recognize something, and the beauty is that he manages to do over forty characters in less than ten minutes.    

The quality is varying: George W. Bush and Jack Nicholson didn’t work for me, while South Park was spot on. The comments are mostly negative, but it nevertheless got over 2 million views, quite impressive when you’re not Lady Gaga or Beyonce these days. Besides impressions, XionProductions (real name Nick, 29, US) works as a videographer. Or at least he aspires to, and YouTube is his test audience. But for XionProductions, it’s quantity over quality, so unfortunately my prediction is that this guy will never make it to Hollywood either, besides as a tourist.
