#CHRISTOPHER WALKEN IMPRESSION SETH DRIVER#
The clip only lasts for a few seconds, but that’s more than enough time to tell that Baldwin’s imitation is flawless - if it went on any longer, the Taxi Driver might have needed an acting credit on the episode.

Technically, this is Alec Baldwin doing an impression of 30 Rock co-star Lonny Ross doing an impression of Robert De Niro (as an auctioneer), but that’s okay. “I like playing dress-up,” is all a sheepish Franco can muster in response. Jinx), Franco’s uncanny imitation is so good that a shocked Efron can’t help but compliment his co-star. Fully immersing himself in De Niro’s weirdly iconic role from Meet the Parents (he even has a stuffed Mr. There’s a bit in Neighbors in which Zac Efron and his frat bros host a De Niro-themed house party, and watching this behind the scenes clip gives you the distinct impression that the filmmakers wrote the scene just so that Dave Franco could share his Jack Byrnes impression with the world. Still, you have to give the Brit credit for doing all of this in front of De Niro. Hiddleston definitely aces the visual component - he’s got that De Niro squint on lock - but the voice isn’t quite there. “I know whole pages of Heat,” he declares on The Graham Norton Show, before performing both the De Niro and the Al Pacino parts of the famous diner scene from Michael Mann’s cops and robbers classic. If enthusiasm were the only criteria, Tom Hiddleston would clearly have the world’s greatest Robert De Niro impression.
