Bosh shows what he made of
When last we saw Chris Bosh taking YouTube by storm,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he was pleading for all-star votes inside a cheap suit and a Texas twang,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], parodying the eternal type of the low-budget car lot commercial. The comedic stroke drew some 510,000 views and,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as it turns out,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not enough votes to get him a spot in the East's starting lineup.
While he'll be coming from the bench for that NBA's mid-season showcase on Sunday in New Orleans,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he hasn't given up on the wonders of web-based video. Bosh's character of the day is Blane Harrington,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a notebook-toting journalist type with a London lilt in the voice and a bevy of geeky signatures. "I think right now whenever you think about me,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you consider more of a basketball player and that's it. My entire life is much more than that. his waterfront condo.
Athletes mostly let it rest as much as others to craft their images. Nike helped turn Jordan into one of the most recognizable people on the planet. Charles Barkley defined himself being an outlaw in a shoe ad ("I am not really a role model"). But this is something different,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], just a little indie cinema in the multi-millionaire athlete.
"This will probably be what I wish to accomplish later on . that character (Harrington), he's a vehicle to obtain that across,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he said. "People are asking me,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], do I desire to be an actress? And so i guess I'm carrying out a decent job."
That is the response Bosh,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who never acted in a senior high school play or took a drama class,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is hoping for. (Jose Calderon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Raptors point guard,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], admitted he only voted for Bosh for that all-star starting lineup after he saw Bosh's video shtick).
Yesterday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the view counter about the Blane Harrington video passed the 52,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 mark. Bosh hopes to draw in a few hundred thousand hits before he releases the 2nd instalment,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that they figures is going to be good enough to lure a million teams of eyeballs. |
