I agree with Josephine...why am I just seeing this guy for the first time?!! What an awesome impressionist. His Gary Cooper is unreal.

He is a comedian who never rushes a thing. The audience will hang on by the fingertips before each big laugh. And those laughs DO COME.

Guy Marks was a very underrated comedian. That guy was amazing.

This guy's impressions aren't only vocal. Before he goes into the brilliant Bogarde dialogue, his setting up of his posture and stance is impeccable. His Cooper and Mitchum stance is equally spot on, especially the feet and walking styles. The attention to detail on Bogarde's face is incredible....the manic eye movement and the subtlest of facial ticks. Coopers idiosyncrasies are also deftly presented......the pursed lips and the wary movement of the eyes. The Mitchum character from the start only needed the inward pointing feet and the swaying torso for immediate effect. This is an allusion to Mitchums alleged fondness for marijuana and booze. Guy Mark's should be more widely known. His attention to detail was superb. He was an exceptional talent, the likes of which we don't see today. Check out his house fly impression and Philly Indian on the Joey Bishop show. The man was a one off. A huge talent lost in the mists of time. I reckon a lot of his work has probably been lost or simply recorded over in the intervening decades, but the few remaining clips are pure gold.

Guy Marks - OUT STANDING. I JUST LOVE IT THE WAY HE IMPRESSIONATES INDIANS , GARY COOPER AND BOGART LIKE NO OTHER ! MAKING ME LAUGH A LOT 😅

This man does Gary Cooper better than Cooper ever did himself! Unbelievable!

Guy Marks grew up a few doors away from my Dad in South Philadelphia, Guy was one of my Fathers friends, another famous person came from my Dads old Neighborhood, was Jazz Sax player Charlie Ventura, also a neighbor of my Dads. He inspired my Dad to play the Sax, but my father decided to play Trumpet instead, lol. My Father remembered going to the Movies with his friends, Guy was with them to, they went to see the Movie Julius Ceasar, he said they walked home from Town, Guy was reciting the whole movie word for word on their way home. My Dad knew Guy would make it in Hollywood, he did amazing characterizations of actors and personalities. You can see him perform this Indian act on the Joey Bishop Show from the 60's, Guy was on the Show with Joey Bishop.

Have you seen him perform on the Michael Landon ‘roast’ on the Dean Martin Show. Basically his usual act but tailored to the occasion. Brilliant!

Brilliant his impressions and banter are spot on.

He did a very good Bogart and a great Gary Cooper.

Guy Marks became the "person of interest" before he even uttered a word. Amazing talent!

Really really unbelievable funny. What a talented guy. I only “discovered” him yesterday!

Thank you so much for sharing this clip! Guy Marks was incredibly talented!

This popped up in my recommendations last month and now I can’t get enough of it! Absolutely brilliant!

Loved Guy Marks in “The Joey Bishop Show”.

Guy marks is brilliant. If you havnt seen the michael landon roast by dean martin. Oh hell this is the same skit. Absolutely hilarious

First belly laugh of the New Year. Thanks, Tony. I knew we had something in common. :^)

He did the same routine on The Dean Martin Roast where they roasted Michael Landon.

Known ,if at all, in the UK for the one off single "Loving you has made me bananas" in 78, 8 years after it was a minor hit in the USA!

I remember this so well he was good

Besides BISHOPS tv series having GUY MARKS coming on there was another fella we waited to see on the DANNY THOMAS SERIES and that was UNCLE TONOOSE!!!! Then on to ED SULLIVANS VARIETY HOUR and prayed the guest would be (hold on there were 2 of them oddly not related) and they were: PEPINO THE ITALIAN MOUSE and the other little fella: TOPO GIGIO!!!! How are these for memories?? BEN CASEY gave us DOCTOR ZORBA*DOCTOR KILDARE gave us DOCTOR GULLESPIE*DAVID SEVILLE gave us ALVIN and the other 2 CHIPMUNKS*ALAN SHERMAN gave us CAMP GRENADA*RED SKELTON gave us FREDDY THE FREELOADER*BEACH PARTYS gave us ERIC VON ZIPPER*GET SMART gave us SEIGFREID*LOST IN SPACE gave us ANGELA CARTWRIGHT !!! Special memories never to be repeated tru TV SERIES any time soon!!!!

This guy did Bogart so good they do remake of Casablanca.

Love it 😀

This is brilliant

Amazing talent.

First i had ever seen him do the similar South Philly Italian Indian was on the Joey Bishop show. His voice an his accent was something else man. Although he was always funny as hell he always came off like a stand up guy you prolly shouldn't mess around with if you feel me. All around classy funny ass actor.

The volaray with the rich corinthian leather. Ricardo Montalban used to do that commercial.

This guy, no pun intended, is so ahead of his time..I don't find the impersonations funny, I'm in awe...

Hilarious !!

when I was little I used to him doing this on 45 record but my brother and sister and my 3 cousins one day decided to have a fight and started throwing all my 45 records at each other for fun , boy did they get it afterwards

Take it from a comedian, his timing was impeccable effective, and extremely risky.
