Speaker 1: few words from our sponsors. Welcome back to this As
Speaker 1: Americans Live. I'm producer Andy filling in for Ari while
Speaker 1: he is in New York City working on Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 1: We're playing some of our favorite interviews from this season
Speaker 1: so far. Up next, here's Philip Wilburn. And now let's
Speaker 1: get to know especially guys. Contreeter for this week, Philip Wilburn. So, Philip,
Speaker 1: tell us little about yourself. Um, my name is Philip Holburn.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm from Texas. Originally I'm a comedian and I
Speaker 1: do a lot of impressions and do a lot of
Speaker 1: sketch comedy. And uh yeah, I've watched a lot of
Speaker 1: videos in the past and um, you have, hands down
Speaker 1: some of the best impressions side I've seen. Um, can
Speaker 1: we hear one of them? Let's hear some, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm doing. A lot of President Trump a little bit
Speaker 1: pretty good. I got a lot of them. And then
Speaker 1: in the old days, I used to do a lot
Speaker 1: of bal and thick, but there's not a lot of
Speaker 1: goal for that anymore. It's pretty good. How do you
Speaker 1: get into impressions? You know, when I was a little kid,
Speaker 1: I started doing uh impressions right away. The first two
Speaker 1: sadly weird impressions I did were so cliche. One was
Speaker 1: my dad. I would just do whatever I was watching
Speaker 1: on TV. And the two that I remember, my dad
Speaker 1: always watched Western, so we did a lot of John
Speaker 1: Wayne and then also Uncle Arthur from Bewitched, And what
Speaker 1: a dynamic duo those would be. You know, it's just
Speaker 1: so weird. You know, we actually have some of that
Speaker 1: in the archives. All right, kids, is after five o'clock.
Speaker 1: I want everybody to sit down in front of the TV.
Speaker 1: And I don't want anybody to talk because I'm gonna
Speaker 1: watch my Western's. But that can we talk about like
Speaker 1: what I did at school? I don't want to hear
Speaker 1: any words out of either one of you. Alright, you
Speaker 1: love Philip way more than me, that's true. But now
Speaker 1: it's not the time to unpack that. Well, Dad, why
Speaker 1: don't we watch a little of your favorite show, maybe
Speaker 1: True Grid or maybe The Son's at Katie Elder is
Speaker 1: so good? It is so good to watch Adam twelve?
Speaker 1: Can we watch I thought I seem to recall asking
Speaker 1: you not to speak even here, Adam, my brother, Adam,
Speaker 1: You're just total losers. You're just sitting over there doing
Speaker 1: anohing one. You just keep it sucking on Wi the
Speaker 1: oldest Gregs the spotlight here you doom good. I love you, Daddy,
Speaker 1: I love you too. He just gets away with everything. Dad,
Speaker 1: My show is coming on, My show is coming on.
Speaker 1: I love this character, Dad, It's so funny. It's such
Speaker 1: a funny character. Oh, samanth I love it. I love
Speaker 1: it so much. Honey. I went to my purse just
Speaker 1: now and I'm missing I'm missing thirty. But missing thirty's
Speaker 1: such a penny pure. I saw, I saw Philip got
Speaker 1: It was you who took your money. It was Philip, Daddy.
Speaker 1: Look at my new ball Live. I love it. I
Speaker 1: love it, and I like how for me thirty dollars again? Great,
Speaker 1: it's great that put tune two together. He stole it
Speaker 1: from mom's purse. Man, why don't you just shut up?
Speaker 1: You Philip, be a deer and ask your brother to
Speaker 1: walk up there and turn down the Hey, Adam, why
Speaker 1: didn't you got turn down? Then went the knob because
Speaker 1: we don't have a remote control. When did you discover
Speaker 1: that you wanted to do this in front of other people, Like,
Speaker 1: would you started to stand up or was it just
Speaker 1: I did a lot of improv in Dallas, and I
Speaker 1: worked with a guy named Randy Bennett, one of the
Speaker 1: founders of the ground Links. He taught kind of the
Speaker 1: ground Links program in Texas and Pocket s Imwage Theater.
Speaker 1: It was not Pokistanwich Theater. It was called Upstage Smart
Speaker 1: Comedy Smart Cocktails, which was a horrible name, but it
Speaker 1: was part of Lone Star Comedy. And then when when
Speaker 1: did you decide you wanted to make it a thing?
Speaker 1: You know what, I've always wanted to do it. When
Speaker 1: I was a little kid, I broke our television and
Speaker 1: the frame came off and that was my favorite toy
Speaker 1: and I always wanted to be on TV and do
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So i've since since I was
Speaker 1: a little kid. I did it. But when I started
Speaker 1: doing improv, it was weird because that kind of and
Speaker 1: sketch comedy really kind of made it where I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: this is this is really what I want to do,
Speaker 1: and uh, I kind of was floundering a lot until
Speaker 1: my teacher found out that I did impressions in the
Speaker 1: moment he found out idea impressions, he was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: this is right, this is the goal mine. I can
Speaker 1: do something with this and so so yeah, that was
Speaker 1: that was kind of my forte in and it was
Speaker 1: a weird transition because then started things started blossoming from that.
Speaker 1: You know, you'd meet a bunch of improv people and
Speaker 1: you would get to do some weird things. A lot
Speaker 1: of one of my first professional vo gigs was from
Speaker 1: improv because a lot of the improv guys in Dallas
Speaker 1: were um directors and cast members on Dragon ball Z.
Speaker 1: And so I got a part on Dragon ball Z
Speaker 1: because I was in this group of people, and I
Speaker 1: got one of the most hated characters of all of
Speaker 1: Dragon ball Z, this character called Android nineteen. It was
Speaker 1: a fat android who uh would try to kill people
Speaker 1: and but he had this really weird, squeaky, high pitched voice,
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, it was one of the most hated characters.
Speaker 1: His name is his name is, His name is Andrey
Speaker 1: named Keen, and he talks like this and he says, Hi,
Speaker 1: are we to steal energy? I guess what we have
Speaker 1: some of that in the archives steel alright, Uh, Dragon
Speaker 1: ball Z of the character is android. I'm sorry to
Speaker 1: think this night in my auditioning. First you go ahead,
Speaker 1: give me the breakdown first to the character. Um, he's
Speaker 1: a a fat character and he's uh, he's not very
Speaker 1: well liked, so you can help try to overcome the
Speaker 1: charter fat and not very well liked. Alight, I got it.
Speaker 1: There you go, he's gonna book me right away. This
Speaker 1: guy's and I don't even know why he's here because
Speaker 1: it was an open call. All right, well whatever, there
Speaker 1: we go. Thank you. Yeah, damn, we are your energy
Speaker 1: freaking kid black. I think it's pretty good. That matches
Speaker 1: your your breakdown. Yeah, if you ask me. Um, okay,
Speaker 1: so let's my phone. Really that was really great. I
Speaker 1: really felt like he was. So then I'll come back
Speaker 1: and record that I got the No, you do not
Speaker 1: have the job. I don't know. I just said that
Speaker 1: was okay. Do you want to slate? Do you want to? Yes?
Speaker 1: Please you? Yeah. I'm Philip Bulborn with the Campbell Agency Dallas. Uh,
Speaker 1: and I just want to say I'm excited about this opportunity. Uh.
Speaker 1: And I do a lot of voices, So if you
Speaker 1: need other androids like hello, oh oh, thank the make
Speaker 1: up dear, you know good warnings, you know all those kids. Great, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's great. So I was thinking he's fat, so I
Speaker 1: want to play against time, you know. And uh so
Speaker 1: instead of playing him like that guy, I was thinking
Speaker 1: very high like this, and I could creeping out by
Speaker 1: people like doing this. Hello the chica, I'm in steel
Speaker 1: all the energy. Oh my, you're not hiring that guy
Speaker 1: for sure. I don't even know why. I'm we are
Speaker 1: going to build a wall. This is going to be huge,
Speaker 1: bigly energy. I'm going to steal all your energy, so bigly,
Speaker 1: it's going to be huge, huge energy. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just think that could be a character that people
Speaker 1: might hate. I'm really sorry. I When you did characters,
Speaker 1: do you find it very difficult to be friends with
Speaker 1: people who were not comedians? Or when you went on dates, like,
Speaker 1: did you find it a bit challenging? I? You know,
Speaker 1: I do think that a funny voice can open up,
Speaker 1: you know, a world of dating. But after a while
Speaker 1: they get tired of it. So that's that's definitely a definitely,
Speaker 1: But there are definitely some girls that maybe like the voice.
Speaker 1: It's someone worked and then someone didn't work right, right, Hey,
