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) - Zábava

If the video get's 10k likes I'll do the full game, or is there a different Lotr game you'd like to see Gandalf play?
Shadow Of Mordor
I would like to see him play a hitman game
Battle for Middle-Earth.
This was awesome, thanks for the laughs mate! Lotr conquest could be good if you want to give it a look. Ps I would some long form videos on the original trilogy if you ever get around to it.
Let's do War in the North please, that's an underrated but still epic game !
It's hard to think of these games as retro, but here we are.
I haven't played games since the Commodore Amiga was a thing. So everything to me is like, Holy crap.
We were thinking the same thing about Mega Drive games when the PS2 came out. Don't lie, you did too.
I didn't really think of Super Nintendo games as retro until people threw the term around like Geoff's beads. like... 2014.
Hell, even pong.
Todd Howard: Build me an army WOOORTHY of Microtransactions...
@@kingtonsiljockey528 its todd saruman!
Seeing scenes from the real Gandalf and this guy...wow, impressive impersonation.
It's called ai. No acting required. Dude is a clown with no skill.
I lost it at "semi-automatic staff" 😂😂😂
This is what I always needed but never knew I needed, full game has to happen
ha ha!
“There weren’t any elves at Helm’s Deep.”
Thank you, Gandalf!
Legolas is not amused
@@absolutezero6423 😆 guess I forgot about that one.
@@absolutezero6423 That still only counts as one.
and Haldir withf Elven archers
@@polyzsub Tolkien also forgot about them.
i can imagine his neighbours going oh look Gandalf is allowed out today
Gandalf noscoping some fools isnt something I ever expected to see, but I'm glad it exists
Full let’s play needed 🙌🏼🤣
here's hoping!
@@CharlieHopkinson gunna smash it easy 💥
Would love to see what Gandalf thought of the animated Lord of the rings from 1978
It's on the list, hot pants Aragorn is in for a roasting
I haven't seen that in an age.
The battle of helm's deep was still better in the animated movie than in the real one ;)
Or the ORIGINAL original Hobbit "movie" from 1966 that was largely a scam on Tolkien for movie rights - it's... really bad, lol - but somehow made it to CZcams:
czcams.com/video/UBnVL1Y2src/video.html
Rip John Hurt
"Look's like wizard's neck is back on the menu" was a nice touch.
Two Towers and Return of the King are some of the best movie tie-in games out there.
Fantastic, Gandalf losing control of Shadowfax and 'Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh' is a personal favourite!
This game is a classic. You could play shadow of war too. Your character playing off the orcs dialogue could be pretty hilarious lol
I want to do so many lotr games if it is of interest to enough people
@@CharlieHopkinson thinking obi wan playing star wars would be sick love this way more but still
@@CharlieHopkinson have him play SNES Lord of the Rings.
Its an even more pixelated mess and I think there's some bit about Legolas clumsily getting lost in a hedge maze or something equally ridiculous. Oh and Gandalf's walk cycle could had made him a contender for the classic 80s/90s Soul Train
edit: I mean the way hes animated walking looks like he has some swagger. :P
@Charlie Hopkinson aye, gotcha. I think the game that would bring the most engagement would be shadow of mordor or shadow of war. Just the sheer dynamic variety of orcs and how they interact with the player and the other orcs would be entertaining, and then add your commentary and responses on top would be hilarious imo. Have you played either before?
@@CharlieHopkinson we’re interested
3:00 - never expected the joy that would accompany Gandalf "no scoping some pricks" 🤣✌️
Like a good wizard, Gandalf is there. 😂
Gandalf finally gets to see the Battle of Helms Deep….in standard definition.
Which pixel am ?....
Wizards neck is back on the menu had me rolling on the floor!
This is by far the best 20 years later game promotion I have ever seen
Young Elrond is like Stewie Griffin on downers. 😂
“I’m going hard, I lived the game that this is based on, I think I can press a few buttons” - Gandalf 😂 absolute gold
_"Are people even going to remember this game?"_
Mate, merely posting this online can rally many like the beacons of Gondor.
*AND ROHAN SHALL ANSWER*
Yes.. Gondor calls for aid.
This is the best video I have seen in a while. Ya’ll better get this to 10k because we need to see the full game. This is gold!!!
Thanks!
“Higher Gandalf… okay, that’s too high!”
Oh my gosh, this was incredible! I 100% this game on GameCube.
Luckily Gandalf is playing the cube version, while using a xbox controller.
the rotk game still stands as one of the best licensed movie games ever made
The Peter Jackson King Kong game was decent too
@@joshuabrown9398 that game was a trip
That ending. XD Poor baby Elrond.
ha ha, he was complicit
I remember one of my friends, a few years older than me, had this game on PC, he couldn’t complete the final level so he had to get a playstation 2 controller that could plug into his computer and let me do it for him. Never felt so important.
ha ha
Brilliant stuff man! Love these LOTR character videos. Awesome impressions! Love those old LOTR games too btw! We need remasters of them!
Absolutely!
"I lived the game that this is based on"...liking it already
Aw man I remember this game. I was a beast with Aragon. I was always leveling up
“Wizard neck is back on the menu boys”😈
I absolutely love this Gandalf.
Gandalf is always so sassy, endlessly shady. Never fails to improve my mood.
We need more of this :D
Keep with this brother. You absolutely have an amazing skill with voicing Gandalf! So much Gandalf content potential!
I actually completed this game again this year with my partner, It's a great co-op game and highly nostalgic.
Omg, "looks like wizard neck is back on the menu boys!" I can't breathe 😭
Ok this was hilarious, I remember playing these games hardcore, they were a really big deal.
Thanks for the video. I'm stuck in the ICU with a shattered left shoulder. These videos help.
Sorry to hear that, hope you get on the mend soon!
"It's not covered if it's a family member or friendly wizard"
Charlie reveals that his primary job is in the field of Property and Casualty insurance
Not sure if it was intentional, but using an Xbox 360 controller with footage from the Gamecube version made this even more priceless for me hehehe - loved every second, thank you for this gem
The best part of those games is that they still made Legolas the "Exposition Boy," he literally comments and explains everything.
Need more of these. Absolute genius
First, you are a men of culture and this game proves it, second never imagined to hear Gandalf saying"I look like a bloody Minecraft charcter" hahaha, always good quality videos.
HAHA Charlie I'll be looking for the "Baby Elrond" this christmas season in my nightmares! TOO FUNNY MAN!
Just pure genius my good man.
Grandalf was so OP in RotK..he was a blast to use. Would be interesting to see what he thinks of his interactions with the crew form The Third Age during the Balrog fight. Lots of potential "You never told us you had help against the Balrog!"
I can see it now: Gandalf gets triggered with that last statement.
Hahahahahaah🤣🤣🤣. The baby playing the game. He didnt even know what he was doing. He gone killed out there. That wall battle was brutal
These EA LOTR games were a gem for me back then, always nice to revisit these classic games
I LOVED this game! So good, and the extra interviews and behind-the-scenes felt like a loving addition to the DVD extras!
This is even better than the RoP reviews. Looking forward to more of these.
Get some likes on the video then! And thanks!
Absolutely fantastic mate
I love the colour gradeing in your editing
Just fired this up on the GameCube the other day, such a gem
4:51 _"Looks like wizard's neck is back on the menu boys"_ really had me 🤣
Man it came out when I was a senior in HS, we had a BLAST with this one😎👍👍
😂 These videos are hilarious and so well put together - I also loved this game back in the day, so extra bonus! But honestly, your work is fantastic and you deserve more credit 👏
Thanks Dave!
You make my day wae yer impressions , feckin excellent
Thanks!
I found this channel during RoP and it's great. All the RoP commentaries were hilarious, so excited to see more LotR content!
This is the best video I’ve seen in a long while thank you
These are hilarious... I could watch this for hours
【Shades Finnish Pirates】I had this game as a child, playyed with my little brother and i loved it
For the love of god, GET THIS VIDEO TO 10K LIKES! This should be on TV hahahahaha
started watching these a few days ago. I can't stop
I wish one day Sir Ian could watch your imitation of Gandalf, maybe even record a scene with you.
Me, Myself & I Starring Gandalf & Gandalf ft. Yung Elrond.
Mannn, I loved it! It was very funny and nostalgic to relive this game and of this way. You made my day!
Enjoyed this a lot. Thx
loved this game in my early 20s! , glad to see you keep going with the great commentary of stuff post seasons :), you certainly know how kids are with games haha.
“Look’s like wizard neck’s back on the menu boys” was so subtle and hilarious.
"which pixel am I?" hahahaha
This was a childhood favorite of mine too! This video is great 😂 Never imagined I could watch Gandalf do a Let’s Play.
I have been calling for an HD remake of this for years!!!!!! SUCH A SOLID GAME
4:51 “Looks like Wizards neck is back on the menu boys” LOL 😂
My first experience of the Hobbit was the 2003 game on PS2. I'm so happy the Erebor machinery and rope climbing level was adapted into the movies.
I'd love to see him play Lord of the Rings: Conquest!
"That's Theodin's problem" 😂😂😂
Literally what the Steward of Gondor was saying during Helm's Deep and the Battle of the Hornberg lol
Gandalf with a Red Bull 😭😂😂😂
When Gandalf says no scope some pricks 🤣🤣🤣
“Looks like Wizards neck is back on the menu” very good
"Which pixel am I" pure genius.
“At standard definition” 😂
Never knew this was a thing i needed in my life but turn out i do
Please make this into a series. It would be nice.
“I’m just gonna go over here and no scope some pricks” 😂
This fame is absolutely a classic!. My dad and I beat this a few times. So fun and such good memories. Miss And love you pops!
Great fun as always!!!
"Which pixel is mine?" 🤣
awesome vid like always!!
I love that Gandalf uses “Took” as a swear word. 😂🤣
When the grey/white/team green wizard calls out your dlc bullshit...
Oh I would love for you to do the full game, ROTK was one of my favorites growing up!
This game is indeed a fan fav from an age long past
This is great more plz
Love your Gandalf vids! I did notice the Gamecube footage while Gandalf was no scoping pricks with a 360 controller though 😉
I can’t get over this whole Gandalf flatmate vibe 😂😂 And pausing to take the thumbnail and everything 😂👏🏻
First person to notice that!
Omg I’m dying trying to keep my laughter from waking the people in the other room 😂😂 Gotta have more LOTR video game content 😂 The LEGO ones could probably provide some good comedic fuel!
Lego ones are definitely going to get a roasting at some point, think will do the main trilogy of games first though, then onto conquest, bfme and lego
@@CharlieHopkinson Yessss great list, can’t wait 👌🏻😆
Great acting :D such a wholesome vid
“Gimli I just road straight for five days you little ginger weasel!” 😂
Oh my, I'll be shoving this in my workmates' faces today. Love, love, love it 😍
