Impressionist and voice artist Lewis Macleod tells the story of Little Red Riding Hood with the help of some famous names. (NSFW, SLYT)

I do love to watch/listen to a good impressionist work - it's fascinating somehow. I'd never heard of Macleod before; this was even more entertaining than I'd hoped.

In the bits which aren't subtitled, is he imitating Jason Statham or does his default voice just happen to sound exactly like Jason Statham?

No, that's imitating. If you listen to him in this, for instance, his natural voice is closer to Billy Connolly (without the hoarseness) than to Jason Statham.

narain, I think the voice you're referring to is that of Ray Winstone; it's given a subtitle when it first appears 24 seconds into the video, but not again at 6:14 when it reappears

I thought the Spielberg and the Attenborough were excellent.

Some of those were absolutely spot on. His Connolly and Boris in particular were pretty amazing.

I kept expecting the latest odds to be displayed on the video.

Jack Nicholson belongs in the ranks of most overdone impressions, but this one seemed fresh somehow. Awesome job all around.

His Jack Nicholson face scared the ever-loving shit out of me. I like his t-shirt.

When I first heard the Ray Winstone voice I thought it was Bob Hoskins.

I'm sad that I only know about half of the people he's imitating, because the voices are wonderful.

His Paul McCartney was particularly impressive, because he captures old Paul rather than young Paul.

Spielberg was also excellent.

I was hoping for Alan Ford and was not disappointed.

Very entertaining. The BEST Paul McCartney I've ever heard, but the absolutely worst Joe Pesci.
