Celebrities Do Shakespeare
Nice promotional video for an upcoming “Jimpressions” performance later this month at The Acting Center in LA and next month at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, FL.
Jim Meskimen is a Renaissance man. You may know him from his performances in film, but he’s also an impressionist, cartoonist (e.g. “Thundercats”), Scientologist, and voice over artist – he even exhibits and sells his own original realist oil paintings. His mother is Golden Globe and Emmy-nominated actress Marion Ross of “Happy Days” and his father Freeman Meskimen portrayed the father of Mary-Kate’s and Ashley Olsen’s characters in the 2000 direct-to-video film “Our Lips Are Sealed.” He’s one multi-talented, multi-faceted guy.

Virgin America Safety Video
Mark Hurst at Good Experience uses this video as an example of a ”boring to better” effort. He likes the mix of humor and common sense (“For the .0001% of you who have never operated a seat belt before, it works like this…” acknowledges Virgin America knows most of their customers can operate a seat belt).
