Jim Meskimen is one of those rare performers who can disappear into a thousand different voices while somehow remaining completely himself.
In this return visit to Classic Conversations, Jim breaks down his current wave of on-screen work, from trading blows with Billy Bob Thornton on Landman to surviving a hippo attack in the upcoming thriller Hungry. He also opens up about the craft of impression, what it really takes to hear a voice the way he does, and what it was like spending a week working alongside the legendary William Shatner.
Show Highlights:
Something caught Jim completely off guard on the Landman set, and it was not in the script.
Jim filmed his newest movie thousands of miles from where the story takes place, and the reason why is a story in itself.
Jim has one voice that changes the way he actually thinks while he is doing it, and another that does the exact opposite.
Jim spent a week alongside a Hollywood legend who showed him what a career looks like when you never stop saying yes.
Jim has one impression he gets asked for more than any other, and his reason for why people want it has nothing to do with the voice.
