Oct 22 2007Hopkins 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.

Anthony Hopkins became a US citizen. Which means he is no longer Sir.

If you get a chance to watch him on Inside the Actors Studio, do so. Oddly James Lipton is on the sister site thesuperficial. I say "sister" but it's more like a tranny cousin.

I really want to watch that show. Not the Hitchcock biopic, but "Anthony Hopkins Describes Movies".

I think he was allowed to keep his title as "Sir Anthony Hopkins" despite becoming an American Citizen. He's still British after all.
