Jon Polito Voice overs and commercials.
I remember this commercial SO much from when I was a little girl! I would always watch it and sing along to it every time I watched “Wow Wow Wubbzy” on demand! ❤️
He stole all the scenes he was in. Truly miss Joe Polito. What a screen presence.
Gosh Howard is so fucking annoying
I remember that commercial when I was 13 years old and I was in 7th Grade Middle School at Lincoln Center of the Arts
Damm I remember being a kidd and seeing this on tv
This damn commercial has lived rent free in my head ever since!
The best Kia ad ever. XD
6:14 My god the acting...
The silliest character to ever grace television. Absolutely Pathetic!!!
This shows how cruel businesses can be. He worked his whole life for this company and they couldn't let him have a few years at home with his wife. That is what it's come down too. I hate to make this political but without some regulations on businesses it would be even worse.
Hoffman is Willie. He’s an icon.
Wow! Can't believe how long ago this was.
Both those cops are in Lebowski
...or the Creedence
john polito looks totally different from his coen brothers movie roles. slimmer and clean-shaven
Unfortunately, scenes like this play out for real every day. Corporations and big business place no value in loyal employees. I felt his pain.
Yup, and the smoke/mirrors they use: " you need a rest", "come back in a few weeks and we'll talk"...Will never happen, once you walk out that office you're old news that will never come back
I remember thinking there was no hope, the rock monster had them. Then she found the bazooka, the rock monster’s kryptonite. What a movie
Incredible timing
One of the most underrated movies ...
George Washington Duke
Touch me and I’ll sue.
Am I the only one that feels that Polito's scenery chewing nearly ruined a fantastic three episode arc? It all seemed so out of place withe the other top notch performances. The only way to really enjoy Burnett's arc is to edit out Mr. Polito's over the top scenes. They were so cartoonish.
You're nuts
Danny devito nailed the part of penguin. But polito could have also probably done it too 🐧
Howard is terrible it really shows you how society can easily replace Someone who they don’t see as valuable anymore as well he said “ you can’t eat the orange, and throw The peel away- man isn’t a piece of fruit”. Death of a salesman is truly a piece of art.
Saw this movie once what's the name
i remember my baby son loving this commercial. he would perk up everytime and bounce along. now he’s 17, and an asshole.
Best ever role in my opinion? Johnnie Caspar in Miller's Crossing.
He was an utterly brilliant actor. His performance in Miller's Crossing NEEDED to be recognized by the Academy. He was robbed. I could listen to this guy read the dictionary! Brilliant!
I remember watching this sooooo freaking long ago its been a decade
rip jon polito great actor
Holy shit I just randomly thought of this after seeing a part years ago where a guy gets his head bit off or something from the back, 8 year old me remembers that.
Me too
I remember on a family movie night I was the only one left awake and this came on the TV at like 1, I only remember that specific part vividly but I know I watched it the whole way through and was freaked out by it, only now to remember it and find out it’s not scary it’s absolutely fucking hilarious 😂
@@captiancholera8459 LMFAO fr, my mom was watching with me too I remember and she’s Asian so she was like EEEEEHHHHEHHE
I remember this commercial.
Hoffman looks like an idiot hamming it up. Polito's great.
Jack Lemon
I seen this movie along time ago but I never got a chance to see like the whole thing.
Rest In Peace. Funny guy
I didn't think anyone paid attention to character actors. I am from theater and have a special love for character actors.
They knew each other before Oz. Whittelsey and Beecher .
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He voiced Hammerhead in Ultimate Spider-Man. He was so good
Hi
You’d have to have a heart of stone to watch this without laughing.
I found the scene rather depressing.
@@simplock Sorry to hear it! Willy is such a hilariously repulsive character that we should take at least some pleasure to see his failures - think Wile E. Coyote or The Wet (Sticky) Bandits.
@@ConcealedCarrier Your comment is repulsive.
@@ConcealedCarrierRepulsive ? Why repulsive ?
miller was a filthy communist. the play while brilliant is just propaganda
The intro music sounds like a bootleg version if the '28 days later" theme song
During the filming of the Ali/Frazier fight scene in "American Gangster" filmed at the Nassau Coliseum in Long Island , N.Y., I was hired as an extra to play a gangster. I was originally seated alongside Jon Polito but then director Ridley Scott moved me one row up to sit in the same row as Denzel Washington. Sitting behind me were Mr. Polito and Armand Assante. The protocol is that extras do not engage in conversation with the actors unless invited to do so. Mr. Polito was extremely engaging, and at one point, I turned around with a serious gangster look on my face, pointed at him and said, "I have a bone to pick with you!" He suddenly looked concerned and asked what it was. Recalling this great scene with him and Dustin Hoffman I replied, "I still haven't forgotten how you treated Willy Loman!" Mr. Polito exploded in laughter. "Did you like it?" he asked. "It was the best "Howard" I ever saw" I responded to his great delight. It was an interesting shoot, and I now recount to friends as family how I twice took personal direction from Ridley Scott. The first was to move my seat; the second was even more personal: "Would the gentleman with the white hair please move slightly to the right; you are blocking Mr. Washington." 🙃 R.I.P. Mr. Polito, you were an amazing actor and true gentleman.
DEFINO!!!!
Miss you Uncle Johnnie... Love you always
I remember him from "Crime Story." Also Stephen Lang.
A must watch TV series that sadly, was cancelled long before it was supposed to end.
This dude should've played the Latin version of the penguin
He's also in S5E1 Hostile Takeover right?
EL Gato cant keep good employees around LOL
Was very surprised to find out Polito was gay irl, since he's mostly remembered for "tough guy" roles. Guess you never know...
He was gay in The Man Who Wasn't There.
Rest in peace jon polito
Creating believable performances in Death of a Salesman clip The director of “Death of a Salesman” uses pacing and dialogue very effectively to create a sense of tension, drama and relatability. Looking at the second clip, one cannot help but try to project himself as if he were in the shoes of the Salesman character. The urgency in his mannerisms is very effectively expressed by the actor, and the directorial decision to prolong the interaction makes his distress all the more relatable. For several very long minutes since the start of their interaction, the boss continuously avoids the real topic of conversation. That immediately establishes the character's relationship and respective position. The salesman makes multiple attempts to get to the bottom of what is on his mind, but his boss would rather not hear it. Devoting several minutes to that interaction alone had resulted in establishing character and creating emotional tension. From that point on, the Salesman basically uses every trick from his professional experience to convince his boss to let him work from the offices. While doing so, the audience learns a great deal more about the main character. He starts by appealing to emotion by invoking his ties to his bosses father, he goes on to claim he suggested the name surname ‘Howard’ to the boss's father when he was naming him as a child. Then, he tries telling an anecdote that is meant to reflect his experience and values: he tells of an old Salesman that manages to make his living by selling merchandise across thirty four states by simply phoning up his clients. He claims that this character became his hero because “[he] realized that selling was the greatest career that a man could want. Because what could be more satisfying… [than being able to] pick up a phone and be remembered and loved by so many people?” For a brief second this long stream of dialogue seemed to have a profound effect on the stubborn employer, but all to no avail. Again, the director is creating sympathy towards the salesman by showing the extent of effort he puts into the negotiation. He may have not managed to move his boss, but an audience watching such an interaction from the side is guaranteed to feel something for the pleading man. Then, the directors makes another interesting creative decision. He gives the main character an opportunity to let out and express the emotional turmoil he is going through by making the boss step out of the room for a moment. This expression comes about both directly, by the salesman stating “[I can’t believe that] I yelled at him”; and also indirectly, by having the salesman mess up his bosses favorite sound recording machine. All these various implicit and explicit interactions serve to create dimension for both characters. They also create emotional tension which is amplified by the increased relatability of the two men, and proper pacing ties it all together. The emotional impact of every action is expressed by the proper reaction. And since the director was careful to give the characters time to properly express themselves from various emotional angles, the scene turned out to be extremely effective.
Willy tried his hardest to convince Howard to give him a local job with a guaranteed salary, but he failed (or didn't even try) to explain what he could do for the company and what value he could add working in the local showroom. One of the typical questions that a prospective employer asks in an interview is "Why should I hire you." If your answer is about your personal needs and not what you can do for the employer, that kills your chance of being selected. Willy emphasized his own needs and his perception of the company's obligation to him. not how he could benefit the company. He failed to "sell himself".
