I saw this guy on the Today Show -- hilarious! Too bad I won't be in New York...
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/9087527/ One-man stage shows are a dime a dozen. James Whitmore alone has portrayed Teddy Roosevelt, Will Rogers, Harry Truman and just about everyone else except Charo. But those one-man snows in which one man does just one character are theyre nothing special when you see Charles Ross portray 40 characters from Star Wars. At the Lambs Theater, off-Broadway in New York, the One-Man Star Wars Trilogy portrays the three original Lucas classics, collapses into one frantic hour-long show... ...OLBERMANN: When you do the different voices for the different characters, I always wondered about somebody who goes back-and-forth, having watched the great comedians Bob and Ray when I was a kid do a soap opera in which they each portrayed four different characters and had to talk to each other and always got their own characters voices right. If youre doing 40 different voices in an hour-long show, have you ever done the right line with the wrong voice? ROSS: On occasion, its really, really hard. See, I do another show, which is the One-Man Lord of the Rings. And there are another 40 characters. So, I have 80 characters potential rolling around in my brain. It feels a little schizophrenic. But things, so far, have been all right... There's a video clip on-site as well. They needed an editor for the article, too, no? Cut that word, change the 's' to a 'd'...
