Remember Chris Klein’s Mamma Mia audition from yesterday? Well this is Sam Rockwell’s screen test for Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, and it’s pretty much the opposite of that — charming, funny, and oozing with talent. Rockwell does all his own stunts, including the splits and some fancy little soft shoe routines. Maybe it’s not that hard, but I was impressed. Don’t let these shapely legs and leotard fool you, I’m actually not a dance expert. Anyway, check it out. It’s basically three minutes of Sam Rockwell being charming as sh*t (and director George Clooney pops his head in at the end). I heart Sam Rockwell so hard. He’s like a homeless Paul Rudd.

This is how Spike Lee auditions all of his white actors
He rocks well.
I can’t believe u guys read that email, lol!
Vince, did the leotard bojangle your coin purse?
Homeless Paul Rudd lends other people money when they’re a little short at Burger King.
His portrayal in The Green Mile as a racist redneck
hit a little too close to homewas so awesome that it was at that moment I started my man crush on Rockwell.Chris Klein’s eyebrows aren’t impressed one bit
I heard he always feels like somebody’s watching him.
I still think Choke is incredibly underrated. He did a fantastic job with that character.
One time I was flipping channels on TV, and I landed on a channel that had a movie with Sam Rockwell (not that I knew who he was). His portrayal of his character sucked me in to the movie until the next scene, when I realized that he had tricked me into watching Charlie’s Angels.
Well played, Sam Rockwell. Well played.
I agree about Choke. I thought it sucked about 45 minutes into it, but then ending came back and wanged me in the ding dong.
I’m glad they didn’t kill his character in Iron Man 2. That way he can come back for the third and probably carry most of that movie too.
Oh,yeah. Spoiler alert, kind of.
I JUST WANTER ME SOME CORNBREAD, MOTHERFUCKERS!
I’d watch Sam Rockwell and Christoph Waltz chew my live grandfather’s feet off and probably still squeal delightedly.
What? It’s ok; with the diabetes, he won’t even feel it.
Of course, I’m also a geriatric-pedophagophile, so have fun rule 34ing that one…
OK Donk.
TINY FUCKED A STUMP!!
