    Charlie Hopkinson is a comedic impressionist, impersonator, voice guy, whatever you want to call it who specialises in voices from current television shows and films. His standup is a character act about a retired maths teacher, his standup set includes impressions of Sir David Attenborough, Robin Williams, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Peaky Blinders, Tommy and Arthur Shelby and Gandalf from Lord of the Rings.
    Always looking to update my roster I look to try out subscriber suggested impressions in the impressions challenge series before honing the best ones. Recently I have added Peaky Blinders and Marvel / Avengers characters to my arsenal!
    I currently run a number of series including:
    Impression Reels - The very best impressions I can do, Including LOTR, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Peaky Blinders, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Cartoons .etc
    Impression Challenges - Trying out new impressions in a less polished form.
    Impression Dramatic song covers - Voices of Reason.
    Low Budget Animation - Stickman sketch remakes of Iconic Tv shows and movies.
    How to do Impressions - An audience lead tutorial series where I attempt to pass on my Impressions knowledge.
    Dubs - Comedic dubs of iconic scenes with new dialogue, (My Peaky Blinders and Lord of The Rings dubs have grossed over 6 million views on Facebook)
    Standup - Clips from Standup sets I have performed over the last year.
    Comedy Sketches - Comedy Sketches
    I started learning impressions in 2012, at the age of 20. You can follow my full impressions journey in my new ‘How to do impressions’ tutorial series
    After graduating from the University of Warwick in the summer 2013 he took 4 months out to concentrate on CZcams videos full time, including producing his most viewed video to date ‘Morgan Freeman and 40 other impressions’ with just over 12 million views. This foray into being a ‘full time CZcamsr’ was cut short as he went travelling for 3 months before starting a 2 year teaching Graduate scheme with Charity ‘Teach First’.
    While teaching he has performed in and narrated the 4 episode series ‘Lookalikes’ as Morgan Freeman. The show and the narration received a positive reception. The show aired on Channel 4 during the prime time slot of Friday 10pm for three weeks. It is now currently available on Netflix. Charlie also performed with other well known impressionists for an unaired pilot.
    Charlie has worked for several prominent brands in relation to their products, including google and formula 1.
    Since the summer of 2016 Charlie has once again dived into the world of CZcams, for the first time producing content on a weekly basis. He is also focusing on live performance; he has performed in live venues a total of 3 times to date.
    His top impressions include:
    Morgan Freeman (Red -Shawshank redemption)
    Sir Ian McKellen (Gandalf - Lord of the Rings)
    Aaron Paul (Jesse Pinkman - Breaking Bad)
    Alan Rickman (Snape - Harry Potter)
    Michael Caine (Alfred - Batman)
    Jon Snow (Game of Thrones)
    Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Carribean)
    Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained, Inglorious bastards)
    Alec Guiness (Ben Kenobi - Star Wars)
    Agent Smith (The Matrix)
    Sean Bean (Boromir - Lord of the Rings)
    Richard Armitage (Thorin Oakenshield - The Hobbit)
    Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister - Game of Thrones)
    Tyrion Lannister (Game of Thrones)
    Bryan Cranston (Walter White - Breaking Bad)
    Frank Underwood (House of Cards)
    Tommy Shelby (Peaky Blinders)

      The guards just agreed to go in voluntarily for whatever reason. What is dumbfounding is that even if they agreed to go into the cell it would have taken more time seeing that two of them stood in the way of the door that opened outwards. It literally could be among the most stupid scenes in the history of cinema.

      @@summbart5394 I am almost certain that palantiri, also called seven seeing stones, were created as means of communication . At least that's how Dunedain used them. I think that's a big point, unless Valar is communicating with Numenorians in the show through the palantir? Not sure. Also, pretty sure there were no palantirs in Numenor, how'd it get there? 😁
      I honestly don't really care and I'm not a huge die hard Tolkien book fan but, the show is just poorly written. Jackson's trilogy had so many deviations from the book and yet, it turned out incredible. I guess the biggest issue I have are the dialogues i.e:
      Galadriel: You have not seen what I have seen.
      Elrond: I have seen my share.
      Galadriel: You have not seen what I have seen.

    Gandalf is so on point here. How on earth did they spend so much money on such poor dialogue? One of the things that stand out from the Peter Jackson adaptations, especially from Lord of the Rings, are the great speeches and conversations that never make you cringe or feel without cause. A lot of times watching this show, I'm just trying to keep my lunch down.

      Oh, Jackson’s films had PLENTY of cringe, and that’s coming from a fan who watches them religiously every year 😜
      ‘What do your elf eyes see’ immediately comes to mind 😂
      But what sets them apart is that Jackson’s films are paced FAR better than Rings of Power. 4 hrs of his production can keep me glued, refusing to talk to anyone, while 4 hours of Rings of Power would feel like a boat ride in a tar pit…

I have yet to see anything that can be considered meme-worthy or universally inspiring in Rings of Power, just the idea that stones apparently sink because of eyes looking down nowadays, and that Galadriel should stop eating mushrooms that make her see shit.

      Look, the Lord of the Rings has always been more high minded and epic than this show presents it as being; the big moving pieces, not the minutiae. Disputes are about ancient wrongs, kin slaying, a failure to recognize grand evils, a slowness to act due to shared sorrow and the resulting ennui, etc. It is not and has never been about some Amazon show runner's petty politics and anti-nationalist sentiment. The whole "Them knife ears took our jerbs!" angle is ridiculous, miniscule in scope, and is honestly something I could see popping up as a joke in in a circa 2004 episode of South Park. It demonstrates a complete lack of ability on the writing staff's part to disengage from their agenda and personal views in order to deliver a story based on the themes Tolkien presented in his works, which is evident in every aspect of TRoP. Lord of the Rings is not about turnip harvests and a thinly veiled political screed masquerading as labor disputes between the local potters guild and bloody immigrant workers, and the fact that this, of all things, was the best they could come up with as one of the driving forces for conflict in their story is pitiful. Sad and pitiful.
