in the universal studios stage show.

This would be the highlight of my acting career thus far.

So you'll basically be called "the Doctor" the whole time and play second fiddle to Destro.

Everytime we talk about the G.I. Joe the Movie I get depressed.

Yeah see they haven't seen the movie yet so I'm not sure how they want to parody something they haven't even experienced, but unless some of you can find me a leaked clip of Levitt's version of the voice I'm going in there with a full on Chris Latta impression.

So for all intents and purposes I'm 80s cobra commander until further notice.

This is assuming I get the role though.  I'm also up for Tatum Channing's Joe character, Christian Bale in Terminator, and Mike Meyers.

Out of all those...given your build, I'd say Micheal Myers would be the most fitting. I could see you getting that one. How tall are you anyway? Anything over 6'-5" I'd say you'd be a shoe in. 6' or taller and I'd say you have a fair chance.

I don't give a shit if I'm too big to be CC.  The leader of cobra should have my build due to inhaling steroidal spore pods from Cobra-La.

I should've been cast as cobra commander anyway, not that simpering 3rd rock "Oh this is just a popcorn flick" fuckwad.  I would've given up all my muscle to play the role and then rebuilt myself afterward if need be.

Apparently the way this works is that if they can use your body and face you'll get more than role. 

So I could get CC and Bale or Tatum and Meyers.

Since he doesn't even appear as CC except for the last five minutes of the flick, you're probably safe playing it Latta style.

They fucking cut CC out of the show!

along with my childhood dreams...

So they cut him out of the show like they did in the movie?  :lol:

So it seems.

But I got kept till the end of the call back to be John Connor. 

Shit lasted 8 hours.  8 fucking hours to be in a parody play at a theme park.  And I was sick the whole time, came home with a fever.

Unfucking believable.

Motherfuckers never called me back even though they said they would either way.

Fuck them, I'm not a dancer anyway.

Now I'll get to be a scary character in Halloween horror nights which is much more my style.

Dancing?  What kind of dancing would you have had to do?

I think he said something about John Connor. You don't remember the musical numbers from Terminator 3: Future Dance

That must have been where the cover of "Dancing Machine" came from.

I'd like to see the powers of the Terminator franchise and Busby Berkley combine.

The show requires a dance number where all the characters dance together.

ok so at the orientation for halloween horror nights i ran into some of the other stage show rejects.

they all got ther "so sorry we dont need u call"

one of them remembered me and thought i had christian bale for sure.

So it's possible they had the wrong contact info or lost my shit or something but since there's a chance they didn't I'm going to keep on with my oath of vengeance. 

One day the shoe will be on the other foot.

Maybe you were the best one but the guy that got the Bale part was boning someone in production or casting or whatever.

And if that is the case, why weren't you doing that?
