Shakespeare in Bloemfontein? South African accent.

Shakespeare in Bloemfontein? South African accent.

My audition tape for the Royal Shakespeare Company. I'm still waiting to hear back from them. Maybe they dont have the right phone number, or something. Maybe they don't like my South African accent. This is supposed to be comedy, so spare me the death threats, okay? Supposedly filmed on location in Bloemfontein, capital of the Free Sate Province of South Africa. With the appropriate accent. Why am I naked? Its a naturalistic thing. Getting down to the core of the character and all that. Prince of Denmark. The Danes are naked all the time, arent they? Or maybe I'm confusing them with some mythical race of Scandinavian uber-babes with a pathological desire to disrobe. The skull is that of a Wildebeest. That's what I happened to have lying around at the time. WARNING: Pedantic digression follows. Of course, it is a BLUE wildebeest (or WAS a blue wildebeest, I suppose) otherwise known as a brindled gnu, which is an antelope of the lowland savannah. Where I live. If this had really been filmed in Bloem, I might have happened to have a BLACK wildebeest skull lying around. Otherwise known as a white-tailed gnu. But very few people are likely to watch this video and vastly fewer still are likely to notice this little factual inconsistency. Otherwise known as LYING, unless you're a politician or a journalist or a lawyer or... well a member of the human race. Of course, the number of people watching this video and knowing the difference between the two species of South African gnu is orders of magnitude higher than the number of people likely to read this video description. But here it is anyway, just in case you thought I was ignorant (which I am about all sorts of things, even large fauna of Southern Africa) or stupid (which I don't think I am, but then I've noticed that very few people do [not me, THEM. Jeesh. What I mean is that if you asked most people the question "Are you stupid?", very few would answer in the affirmative, even though, on average, about HALF of all people are below average intellect]). So there we go. The only horny thing is this video is dead. Ay, that's the rub, then. I'll leave some stupid things in the tags to see who notices them.
