The Greatest Actor Ever


I'm sick and tired of big name Hollywood actors who get all the publicity. Especially when the greatest actor of all time can't even be named by the common American. It takes a true connoisseur (and yes I had to go to dictionary.com to check the spelling) like me to appreciate the art of acting. Granted, my certifications in this field are quite limited. In fact, my only certification is being Greek, but since we started this shit like 2500 years ago, it takes one to know one.

But I digress. I decided last night after watching this individual's work that someone must credit this man for everything he has done for the industry. After looking at his filmography, it was then that I realized this was the greatest actor of all time.

By now you must be wondering who this man is. But first, I just want to illustrate the diversity of this man's abilities. This guy has played roles in which his characters are straight, gay, and questionable. He has played the outrageously dumb to the mindnumbingly brilliant. This man will play any character with no shame. This man's writing accomplishments range from Boy Meets World to Mad TV.

This man is Stephen Hibbert. But to his most affectionate fans (no homo), he is known simply as "The Gimp."

In terms of one's influence on Americana and pop culture, The Gimp knows no equals, as I will clearly demonstrate later. So what if Brad Pitt can look angry and kill people for 2 straight hours as Achilles? So what if Colin Farrell can conquer the world in a few hours as Alexander The Great? Those are easy parts.


Who cares if Johnny Depp can play a pirate? Does he have his own Sims' skin?



Go ahead, give Travolta and Samuel L all the Pulp Fiction credit. But I don't see them here.



No, this isn't that Gimp. It's this Gimp.


Of course, a man of The Gimp's caliber is hardly restricted to just that one immaculate role. The Gimp also starred in Austin Powers 2, which was the only funny one in the trilogy (and it's not up for debate). In this one, The Gimp convincingly plays an unconvincing character: the "inept magma chamber guard." I'm sure I don't have to remind anyone who reads this page about that scene of the movie. But if you're still not ready to give The Gimp the benefit of the doubt, just remember that he got flashed by Heather Graham, giving him a rarified status that just about everyone on planet Earth must envy.

And that's not all. The Gimp starred in Cat In The Hat. Some actors will only relegate themselves to big budget movies. After being in one of the best movies ever made, The Gimp's not afraid to throw his weight behind another that isn't worth a turd sandwich. I guess that makes him the greatest supporting actor of all time too.

The Hollywood bigwigs might try to forget that this man's name has seen the light of day. But at least here at Bloggystyle, this man's sacrifice and dedication to the film industry shall never again go unnoticed.

im guessing that you googled "the gimp"...
 
if by google, you mean searches, then yes.

if you mean googling like Zed or Maynard style, the answer is a resounding no.
