This is basically how Mark Hamill got The Joker. He went: "They're never gonna give it to Luke Skywalker, might as well go nuts" :D

We need Danny Devito's version of this story.

Henry for an Always Sunny appearance? That could be interesting.

Danny's a brilliant maniac, with an excellent taste in music (Henry Rollins, Mike Patton etc.) I could see him personally asking Henry to read for it, and sitting there with a gleeful smile while everyone else cowers at Henry going apeshit.

He was great in "He Never Died".

I loved Henry in Johnny Mnemonic. "THIS CAUSES IT! THIS CAUSES IT! Technological overload! But we still have all this SHIT!...because we can't live without it."

Its a shame he doesnt think hes a good actor. He has such an enjoyable voice.

The VHS tape of this audition is floating around somewhere. It must be recovered

He says he's not a good actor, but he voices the main antagonist in season 3 (and, in spirit, the entire series) of Legend of Korra, the spin-off sequel to Last Airbender. That same character is my favorite of the antagonists in that show.

Honestly, he is an actor though. I'm not saying he's the best Shakespearian method actor in the world or whatever but he has the ability to forget about his reality and create a new reality and become part of it and that's all acting really is. Even when he came out and said "Break a leg. I did." he was acting. I'm sure he didn't feel naturally antagonistic toward them. He briefly just created a new reality for the sake of humor or to get a rise out of someone. Not everyone can do that. Not everyone can make their mindset vastly different easily and quickly.

And this is why I love Henry Rollins. He is 100% the epitome of "Fuck it,, LET'S DO THIS!".

Once got drunk w Henry on the Exorcist steps in Georgetown DC in the early 80s.. he's definitely a multi-talented mo fo.

that's actually kinda cool knowing that Henry Rollins has self-doubt

I can really see Henry Rollins doing Bruce Campbell, Evil Dead, type stuff. And I would totally love it

I'm glad they liked his audition.

He went in thinking being a jackass would hurt his chances... but that’s exactly what producers want is someone that’ll be willing to make an ass of themselves.

i did chat with danny devito once, it was at an art gallery in west hollywood, i went there to see an afternoon of performance art which as it turned out was organized by Danny's daughter, so Danny was there, and also Rhea Perlman, Danny's wife (Carla on "Cheers".) It was exciting to meet him, and to be in the same room with her. He didn't mention Henry.

love henry man he never fails to tell the best stories and know how to make you laugh your ass off as he tells em

Loved him as the pursuing officer on live TV in "The Chase"!

One of my favorite lines is from Death to Smoochy. "Hey, sorry I'm late. I fell asleep at the bus station. Scuse me if I smell like piss. You know how it is."

Henry is one of my favourite story tellers. Brilliant!

3:30 Look at her face... I bet if she blinked any slower, you'd be able to see "Love U" written on one eyelid and "Henry" written on the other.... Glad she's enjoying it...

One of the amazing thing about Henry Rollins is that he can remember all of these stories.

Henry also auditioned for the Negan role on The Walking Dead. That sure as hell woulda changed things a bit.

Henry Rollins is an amazing person. Musician, actor, and comedian. He does it all.

I laugh every time he shows up in Heat.

Henry played in a very good movie in 2015 called He never died. If you missed it, you should watch it

First Henry learned to scream, then he transformed that screaming in to "singin" and now we get to enjoy Henry as he talks. I like Henry when he talks, I like to hear Henry references himself as "Henry", it's just so well mannered explosion we get to witness here it's making my eyes watery. Love you Henry o/

Danny Devito: *"So anyway... He started blasting..."*

Danny DeVito is good friends with Mike Patton. That's reason #372 that he's cool as fuck.

I always like "He Never Died", I thought Henry did a great job in it.

LOL ! This makes me wish Henry DID get the part !! Death to Smoochy was a great movie.

Man, Rollins really packs em in. Hefty Crowd, that.

Your agent was Able to get you the part of CAIN but this movie (He never die) was refreshing because every movie with Henry Rollins that i saw he plays a cop or a prison guard,The New Guy, Lost Highway, The Chase and probably other movie

That was such a good film.

One of his best stories!

Michael Rispoli got the part, but there’s a character named “Henry the Thug” in that movie.

He was great in The Chase

I can’t believe he didn’t get the part after that!

Love his visual story. Like I was there.

It's just the great Henry!!!

I love Henry Rollins intense narrations

I love somebody who is tough enough to get tattoos having a panic attack when going to audition

Henry is so fucking intense, i really love him for that.

The movie in question is "Death to Smoochy" from the year 2002 :D

I still wanna see Henry's version of that role.

SCHWAAAYYYYY!!!! this is from the day after I was born!!! I was born Sept 17th '85!🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🍻🍻🍹🍹

The man!

IDK I've never really seen him in anything but he is great in Con Man. My memory of Henry Rollins is always from Beavis & Butthead with whatever music video he had. Liar I think.

00:56 I am 95% sure that is Daniel Avidan, AKA Danny Sexbang, AKA Not so grump...

Rollins is one of the coolest people you could ever possibly meet.

It would be cool if they rebounded FALLING DOWN staring Rollins.

Love Rollins.

Cool

I really would give anything to see this footage

I love SMOOCHIE, it's a great dark comedy, even Robin Williams (RIP) is not overacting

death to smoochey is one of the best movies ever..

Had a hilarious role in Feast.

Henry is a good dude and talented, but damn, when I die and go to hell I'm going to be sitting with him as he speaks for all eternity.

Henry got some Farley in him.

Holy fuck I really dug Death to Smoochy and if Rollins got that part it would have been awesome

It’s a shame because when I saw the actual movie after hearing this story, I was so underwhelmed by the performance the actual actor gave.

I wanna see that footage!!!! LMAO

i love rollins

Bonk seems pretty well put together. Batman Beyond.

But you did sir, You played it perfectly. Even when you faked getting put back through a plate glass window by Bobby Deniro while playing a bodyguard in a little movie titled "Heat" back in '95, you fuckin nailed it. Respect.

I'm not sure which cut content would've been better, the cameo by Steve from Blue's Clues, or this

Hey! Break a leg! I did!

Name dropped

Please tell me this video stil exists somewhere

I want to hear how Henry landed his role in Johnny Nmemonic or however the fukk it is spelled. That is a performance and a film that raises so many questions.

Rollins is hilarious.

The movie he's talking about is Death To Smoochy and it is fucking amazing.

Lol Henry would have been awesome as Spinner Dunn. Death to Smoochy was criminally underrated.

He's been acting his whole life

I"f I get the part its their fault "...hahah priceless

"I lost to some other guy" It was Robin Williams apparently?? 😂

I would imagine that Henry wouldve been Devitos numberbone but it was probably a studio overuling to cast the sopranos actor at his height of fame

This spoken word piece was the only reason I ever watched Death To Smoochy. I'm assuming Henry was auditioning for the roll of Spinner?

celebrities telling stories about meeting other celebrities is always insightful and humorous. I remember when I told Kathy Griffith about the time I met Jason Alexander on the set of a Richard Gere movie, we were discussing the same thing.

What car does Henry drive. I think I’d get him more if I knew.

Henry and I are one the same except I never got that callback haw haw haw

Michael Rispoli got the part.

Death to smoochy is great. I forgot about that movie.

wheres the video he cought on this digital camra

He came to my town and I missed it. I had to work. Kevin Smith and Jason mews came to my townand I had to work. f***! I hate work!!!!!

A old co worker met Danny at his old airport job. Said he was a prick both times.

They should have got him to come in and film the scene even if they didn't use it just so they could have it as a deleted scene.

I would have loved to see henry rollins in a safari outfit banging a cowbell like crazy and dressed up in a rhino outfit. Too bad he scared the shit out of danny devito with his audition. 🤣

"I have an agent, I read scripts and go to auditions. But I'm no actor." BRUH

I thought he nailed the racist white supremacist role in Sons of Anarchy

Stutter Dawes ladies and gentlemen!

Michael Rispoli from the Sopranos ultimately got the role of Spinner Dunn

Always Sunny. Next season. Henry plays Mac's step brother. They meet in prison visting their dad. My usual 10% fee please, thank you! 🇬🇧👍

Henry crushed it in Sons, yo

Death to Smootchie was hilarious

He played a good cop

is that Dan Avidan at 0:56?

3:30 God damn, what a beaut.

Rollins could probably use DeVito as a basketball if he wanted to.
