Hopkins Confirms He's Hitchcock With Impression

After seeing this clip in which Sir Anthony Hopkins describes, in detail, the opening to the Alfred Hitchcock biopic he's starring in, complete with his impression of the director, I've decided a good television series would be Anthony Hopkins Describes Movies. Few master thespians are willing to paint a scene with the same sound effects, pantomiming, and general excitement of a 10-year-old like Hopkins does here, and we should take advantage of that. Imagine Hannibal Lecter doing scenes from Jurassic Park, complete with roaring, screaming, and character impressions, all vaguely distorted by his aging memory. Amazing.

Video under the cut.
