There's a difference between not being well known and being underrated. Pollak has never gotten the kind of big lead roles that would make him famous, but that's not necessarily about being underrated, it's about being a character actor rather than a leading man, for one thing. He also just doesn't really seem to want that kind of career. But anyone who knows who he is knows he's brilliant.

That squint when He does Statham is so perfect...That's Jason's "look"...

Mimicking someone takes a certain kind of talent, but to pull that ability out and then expand upon it in a different context and have people respond well is something else! KP always delivers! 👍❤️

He's brilliant. Impressions , stand up, acting, and filmmaking one of my faves.

I love Kevin Pollak. That guy is hilarious. I remember seeing him do stand up on tv and I almost fell off the couch laughing.

I keep coming back for the Neeson and Statham bits, they're just too funny.

Kevin is also a FANTASTIC actor. His performances are genuine, clear, crisp, and it's obvious that he truly respects the entire process of both filmmaking and entertainment. Anyone who has had the pleasure of working with him would probably concur.

Kevin doing Johnny Carson saying "mama say mama sa mamakusa" is precious.

Kevin Pollak is a MASTER of impressions. He's TOO good. ❤️🌹

Years ago, went to see Kevin at a local comedy club. I have NEVER laughed harder in my life!! Sooo funny!

It's almost five thirty in the morning, and I am howling with laughter at Liam Neeson "bananners".

OMG Kevin Pollak is soooooo f.•ing talented, he also does an amazing Jack Nicholson, that one he can do for minutes at a time and you would think you were listening to Jack Nicholson if you close your eyes👍🏽👍🏽This man should constantly be working

He got paid to do voice over work for Nicholson in a movie they were in together, the military court Marshal one with Tom cruise. Nicholson only had a few days to film his scenes, he was really expensive to pay for long periods of time, and after he was done, they needed him for some off camera shots where you only hear him as the camera is facing Tom cruise or some other character, and Kevin was already starring in it, and offered himself as Nicholson’s “stand in” for those scenes. So in that movie, the few times in the court where the camera is panned away from Jack, but you hear his voice talking, it might actually be Kevin Pollack talking lol

@@andygarza8132 It’s still Nicholson’s voice in the film (A few Good Men) they just overdub the audio from Nicholson’s shot onto the off-camera shots where you hear Pollock’s voice. The reason they got Pollock to read Nicho’s part instead of any random person is because it helps the other actors respond more authentically, as if they were reacting to Nicholson himself.

I would love to see Kevin Pollack do a scene from The In-Laws movie doing both Peter Falk and Alan Arkin characters switching back and forth.

I love Kevin so much.

2:46 seconds, and i had three of the biggest laughs I've had in a long time!

That was so very incredible! One word and spot on everytime!

The Albert Brooks impression is spot on.

Peter Falk impression is the best 😂🤟

Tonight's insomnia brought to you by the mental image of Liam Neeson singing Holla back Girl: "This is bernaners. B-A-N-A-N-A-S"

2:40 The eye trick is simple: Look with your eyes to the left and then squint; the right eye stays in the left position while the left one moves inwards.

The peter Falk is fabulous

The thing about One Word Impression, my friends and I were doing that over 30 years ago. It started with an older friend of ours who was a vocalist in a local band. He started with a Robert Plant saying/singjng the word 'push'. From there it went to Christopher Walken saying 'ouch', Shatner saying 'dammit'. I guess the difference, the famous person was kind of famous for the particular word.

His Peter Falk is a wonder of the world. 🤣

I have been a fan of Pollack for years, and still wonder how the fuck does he do that eye Peter Falk thing, it hurts so see, lol

I never imagined Kevin to be this entertaining lol. Funny guy 👍🏻

I miss Kevin’s chat show he’s a great interviewer with great stories

He's so talented.

How tf do you teach yourself to move just one eye? As great as his impressions are this is far beyond just getting a voice right.

I have been performing stand up for 12 years. But before that, going to see comedians was our date night. We saw Kevin Pollock (circa 2005?) At the Tempe IMPROV. He was an outstanding performer. But, more than anything what I remember is how gracious he was to everyone. EVERYONE! He is who I use as an off stage role model. And he is the standard for whom I hold others to. An academy award nominated actor, in an academy award winning movie, if he can be nice to people who paid to come see him then damn it everyone else can be too.

I had no idea who this was, he is good , really good.

GENIUS!!!

He had Peter Falk down pretty good.

Incredible!

I love Kevin!🙂

I searched for this because it's so hilarious

So good.

Kevin Pollack is as good as anyone on media. period.

I love Kevin Pollock such a talent. Check him out on the marvelous Mrs. Maisel.. Simply brilliant

Watch an interview with Kevin, back to back with an interview of Ad Rock form The Beastie Boys. They're like brothers.

Stand up comedians make the best actors half of the time?, cos first off, their intelligent and have a very grounded sensibilities in regards to life in general. many of them are so relatable, which is why they're so funny and good at their jobs!

Holy shit these comments are critical.

man he nailed these. banners
