My character

Been doing research on the new character today. I am still working on the profile, but to give you an introduction the idea is:

He is a guy called Alfonso and he's Argentinian. He does not speak a word of English, but he's a quite famous street performer back in Argentina. He is always happy, enthusiastic and loves his job as a mime.
In the scene he will cause trouble because he does not understand the director's directions, but he still keeps doing his act since he understands it is in fact an audition.

The full profile will come later, but just to give you some examples of the kind of personality I want to give him I'll show you two clips. (These are Norwegian, but it doesn't involve any dialogue, at least none of any importance.)

This shows some of the facial expressions and sort of enthusiasm I want to try and achieve with my mime-character. The clip is a sketch from a Norwegian comedy-show where they just made up an act to a Dutch song, the cast in this show had no idea what the song was about since none spoke Dutch, so they came up with a sketch to match with the song:



This is another sketch by a another Norwegian comedian, I think this is a great sketch because it has no dialogue and it's really simple and funny.



This is one of several sketches this comedian has of his his character called "the Scot". The character is a Scottish man living in Norway and he constantly gets into trouble because he can't quite understand the language.
- I personally love the ending of this clip, the other guy is obviously furious because he plays with the dog, but he just does a little dance and a song and is still as happy as can be.
