Charlie Hopkinson is a comedic impressionist, impersonator, voice guy, whatever you want to call it who specialises in voices from current television shows and films. His standup is a character act about a retired maths teacher, his standup set includes impressions of Sir David Attenborough, Robin Williams, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Peaky Blinders, Tommy and Arthur Shelby and Gandalf from Lord of the Rings.
Always looking to update my roster I look to try out subscriber suggested impressions in the impressions challenge series before honing the best ones. Recently I have added Peaky Blinders and Marvel / Avengers characters to my arsenal!
I currently run a number of series including:
Impression Reels - The very best impressions I can do, Including LOTR, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Peaky Blinders, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Cartoons .etc
Impression Challenges - Trying out new impressions in a less polished form.
Impression Dramatic song covers - Voices of Reason.
Low Budget Animation - Stickman sketch remakes of Iconic Tv shows and movies.
How to do Impressions - An audience lead tutorial series where I attempt to pass on my Impressions knowledge.
Dubs - Comedic dubs of iconic scenes with new dialogue, (My Peaky Blinders and Lord of The Rings dubs have grossed over 6 million views on Facebook)
Standup - Clips from Standup sets I have performed over the last year.
Comedy Sketches - Comedy Sketches
I started learning impressions in 2012, at the age of 20. You can follow my full impressions journey in my new ‘How to do impressions’ tutorial series
After graduating from the University of Warwick in the summer 2013 he took 4 months out to concentrate on RUclips videos full time, including producing his most viewed video to date ‘Morgan Freeman and 40 other impressions’ with just over 12 million views. This foray into being a ‘full time RUclipsr’ was cut short as he went travelling for 3 months before starting a 2 year teaching Graduate scheme with Charity ‘Teach First’.
While teaching he has performed in and narrated the 4 episode series ‘Lookalikes’ as Morgan Freeman. The show and the narration received a positive reception. The show aired on Channel 4 during the prime time slot of Friday 10pm for three weeks. It is now currently available on Netflix. Charlie also performed with other well known impressionists for an unaired pilot.
Charlie has worked for several prominent brands in relation to their products, including google and formula 1.
Since the summer of 2016 Charlie has once again dived into the world of RUclips, for the first time producing content on a weekly basis. He is also focusing on live performance; he has performed in live venues a total of 3 times to date.
His top impressions include:
Morgan Freeman (Red -Shawshank redemption)
Sir Ian McKellen (Gandalf - Lord of the Rings)
Aaron Paul (Jesse Pinkman - Breaking Bad)
Alan Rickman (Snape - Harry Potter)
Michael Caine (Alfred - Batman)
Jon Snow (Game of Thrones)
Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Carribean)
Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained, Inglorious bastards)
Alec Guiness (Ben Kenobi - Star Wars)
Agent Smith (The Matrix)
Sean Bean (Boromir - Lord of the Rings)
Richard Armitage (Thorin Oakenshield - The Hobbit)

Gandalf returns! at the turn of the tide. A reminder for the competition you need to add #lotrrisetowar to you answer.
We've got 3 more episodes of LOTR shot and edited for the coming months you can catch the next 15 min one - The cutting of Tom Bombadil on Patreon now, as well as the first Episode of Kenobi: www.patreon.com/CharlieHopkinson
Does it have to be lowercase, or does it matter? Love your content, by the by.
All we need now is the Ent Sl**s T-shirts!!!
gonna check out you patron soon for sure. can't keep track of where you stand right now but I cant wait for spicy Thorin to be all moody for the watch party of the hobbit if that happens.
@@NerdPirateRadio Yep, it's a way off but spicy he will be!
Been waiting months for this, quick grab the cheesy whatsits and don’t mention Isildur it’s time for Wizard Chillin.
Subbed with love❤️
Gandalf being an expert on potatoes after talking about being in a library for 17 years makes so much sense
We can all relate to Gandalf justifying his procrastination by saying he chased his hat around a field for 4 minutes.
I was actually going to procrastinate at this point, but I figured I could always procrastinate later.
@@wolfshanze5980Took me 4 months to get to this even.
He spent the time training moths to bring him the eagles. It took him so long because he kept making the room brighter and distracting the moths with the light. #LOTRRISETOWAR
Yes! As much as I love Qui Gon, Obi Wan, and Anakin, Gandalf and the boys are still my favorite.
Thorin sneaking in whenever the hobbit is mentioned is my favorite part 😂
Seventeen years. Five years to read it all. Six years to ̶r̶o̶b̶ help them. Six years to drink it all and, on the morrow, Hobbiton.
During his 17 year absence, Gandalf formed the beat combo 'Bombadil's Bong' and toured Middle Earth on the back of smash hits like Gondor on My Mind, Entwash Delta Blues, Umbar Girls and Last Cart to Tuckborough. #LotrRiseToWar
Not the world's most tech-savvy bloke. Hope this reaches you. Happy Christmas.
That's so funny.
I loved Yung Elrond and his "Gandalf Man of Action" speech. You've got Elrond's patterns down pat and for Elrond that's a long speech!!! Just admirable CH.
Didn't realize how much I missed these characters... Are you aware that Peter Jackson mentioned your channel at some zoom get together thing? It was right after Sir Ian quoted "Gandalf... Yes, that is what they used to call me: Gandalf the Gay"
" I'm not in charge of what the Eagles will and won't agree to help with. They make there own decisions, it turns out they like pranks." 🤣
Long story short, Gandalf suspected that the ring that Bilbo had passed down was a greater ring of power, not the minor ring he had thought of for years. This is partly due to Bilbo's lack of aging, but also his odd behaviour at his home after the party.
Gandalf spent the next 17 years researching the various rings of power, enlisting aid in tracking Gollum (From Strider), and checking on Frodo (and the entire Shire in general) every now and again, checking his rate of aging and his mental state.
He spent several years trying to find Gollum, when he couldnt, he went to Minas Tirith to research the ring. There he learned that fire could reveal the secret inscription IF it was the one ring. As he was on his way back to the shire to check on Frodo, after nearly 9 years since he last visit, he got word that Strider had found Gollum. This is when he found out what Gollum had told Sauron, as well as how old Gollum was, and where he found the ring - the Anduin river, not far from where Isildur was slain. This all but confirmed his worst fear, that it was indeed the one ring. He rushed immediately to confirm it by throwing it into fire. #lotrrisetowar
Not really he knew the other rings were accounted for. He was clearly training moths and chasing his hat round a field 👌
Imagine if he had just put the ring into a fire in the first place!
I mentioned this in a different comment, but it wasn't 50 years between Isildur losing The Ring and it being found by Bilbo, it was 2500. So Gandalf probably didn't know about that test.
Hi Steve0500738 you have been chosen as one of the winners of the rise to war competition, please reply to this comment and send me an email/message me on instagram to get your prize
@@anthonybottigliero8336the 50 years thing was referring to the events in The Hobbit
Any update on your prize? 👀
Could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain in that 17 years, Gandalf had a stab at acting. Starting out on stage, before being cast as Magneto in the X-Men franchise. After many years of success, he finally returned to the Shire to prove the fame hadn't gone to his head. #LOTRRISETOWAR
Ugh terrible joke. For a start casting & principal photography for X-Men took place before The Lord of the Rings, with the film itself being released a year and a half before fellowship. He WAS in Dance of Death though, you could make a much better joke out of that
Ah pure gold! Great having these three back on the couch revving each other, especially Boromir’s diagnosis skills and the revelation of his home address of Numenor 😂
Denethor set it up so technically I reside in Numenour 😂. Fuckin genius, I've said it before but this is the best comedy show since The Mighty Boosh. Can't believe you haven't had a TV deal!
"Oh, and they were all the same ring, by the way"... LOL
I love how Boromir has a blanket on his lap and comes across as a sensitive and kind hearted guy who like Harry Potter.
Gandalf was seeking information about Gollum; tracking his movements, investigating his crimes, (including child cannibalism) and getting Aragorn's help in tracking him down. Finally, Aragorn found him and they interrogated him for all he knew and then dropped him off with the elves in Mirkwood. #LOTRRISETOWAR
And then he escaped. Honestly, the elves in Mirkwood should really look into the security of their prison. Every important character alwaysa find a way to escape and run off while they are incapable to track him down... very sloppy security.
@giacomoromano8842 he had climbed into a tree and his elf guards had no mind to go after him. Then a company of orcs attacked and gollum got away in the confusion. Your point is still valid.
Neither side thought to go after the one thing that would give them intel? Honestly, why fight when the common enemy is right there?
hi danielanderson3878 you have been chosen as one of the winners of the rise to war competition, please reply to this comment and send me an email/message me on instagram to get your prize
@@giacomoromano8842easily the biggest plothole in all of Tolkien's works.
To credit Gandalf's magic skills, he can also sometimes open and close doors, sometimes.
What's better then seeing this before? Seeing it again once more!
Gandalf and the boys are back! Lets go!! Quality content as always Charlie 👌
I just love how it's always felt like the 17 year gap was there just to let Frodo "enjoy" his inheritance for a little while instead of the harsh reality that he was very likely sent on the quest almost immediately after Bilbo left.
Gandalf has returned
at the turn of the what?
@@CharlieHopkinsonThe screw?
@@kevinramsey417the cosmological corner?
PO-TAY-TO.@@CharlieHopkinson
Somehow
According to the films, Gandalf was looking for information pertaining to Isildur's ring to see if it matched Bilbo's.
But I like the thought that he went out of his way for an amazon package.
Gandalf getting roasted this whole episode is the best 😂
I wonder how different things would have been if Gandalf would have spent just a year in Gondor, returned to the Shire and sent Frodo with the ring right away. They could have started and finished their journey before the war of the ring even started, before Barad-Dur was even finished, before the Ringwraiths would have been sent out, and before Gollum would have been released
would have been the length of the hobbit (Book)
And would still have been made into 3 movies@@CharlieHopkinson
I mean, yeah, and if they'd had tanks they'd have won battles easier, but that's not the story, is it? The reason so much time passed is because all travel was by foot or horseback, and to give opportunity to explain the plot without infodumping. Tolkien was an actual professor of writing. Everything in lotr is on purpose.
Gandalf knows how to make life harder
And the Eagles STILL wouldn't have just dropped the ring into Mt Doom.
Poor Thorin! 🤣 Gandalf didn't cherish their journey.
Sam telling us about Gandalf's 1st suggestion was the best I laughed so hard
"I"ve thought of a better use for you and then he looked.at Mr Frodo all hungry like, and said Mr Frodo let's eat him and Mr Frodo had to beg him not to do it.
I love this channel. Just found it today. I am a HUGE LOTR fan. And this just makes everything so much better..
Love these, Charlie. Really look forward to them. Thanks, dude 🙂
Gandi folded frodoes blanket and Frodo just snatched it lol
Gandalf’s response to only having one joke…. 2:24… that was a proper LOL. 😂😂
Charlie, you are easily my favorite creator and I watch your videos over and over because they are the most entertaining take on my favorite fantasy universes
In the 17 years between Minas Tirith and returning to Hobbiton, Gandalf used his own magic ring to pop over to Hogwarts and beleaguer and harass the quiddich games with his own special cursed bludgers. He was having such a ruddy good time that he almost forgot about Frodo. So he popped back in the nick of it and ran up the walk, which is why he looked so bedraggled and out of breath when Frodo answered the door
I know I may be too late but I just had to post this lol
I loooved this! I was watching your reels but Im so happy theres long videos too this made me so happy 😂😂😂
I'm in love with you. Voice, script, editing...legs! Everything is perfect 😍❤
Living with a scholar, I think 17 years of research feels pretty typical. 😂#lotrrisetowar
Hello, we have chosen our winners for the LOTRrisetowarcompetition but we have had issues with people collecting their prize. You are the next in line, if you could message me via email/social media(instagram) etc. in the next few hours otherwise we will have to select a new winner.
@CharlieHopkinson Thank you! I sent an email listed on your account.
Incredibly funny! Many thanks for your excellent work!
【Shades Finnish Pirates】Happy christmas time, these videos of yours are golden and i hope to see a lot em of in the future. Blessings!
My name's in the list! Glad I could be a part of enabling you to make such great work!
#lotrrisetowar Gandalf during his 17 years played matchmaker for single men. His best match was for Beorn who went on to have a son Grimbeorn. Probably had his father's disposition with a name like that.
The groaning of the roof beams in bilbo's house when gandalf got serious was awesome.
These videos make my day! Thank you!
#LOTRRISETOWAR
Gandalf rode to Minas Tirith to research the journey of the ring and Isuldurs account then he met Aragorn in Mirkwood whom had captured Gollum and interrogated him about his account of the ring.
Keep up the great work Charlie!
Hi, could you send me an email/ contact me on social media?
Munching tomatoes with Denethor (with a bit of light reading about Sauron and the ring on the side) #LOTRRISETOWAR
20:08 Love the delivery there
There's something about Elrond's knowing smile about partying that is just wonderously enlightening.
"Never after Old Tobey, or...was it before?"
🤣
“Do not take me for some conjuror of cheap tricks.”
After conjuring a cheap trick 😂😂😂
He captured and interrogated gollum with striders help then gave him to the elves. #LOTRRISETOWAR
This is so good. I love it.
Peep Theoden's sword on the coffee table! Nice.
Gandalf spent 17 years toking on the halfling's leaf and lost track of time for a bit. We've all been there. #lotrrisetowar
Keep these videos coming pls.
I love this channel
Tom Bombadil at the end there was awesome!
Interesting fact, when Vigo kicked that helmet he broke the record for the furthest anyone has ever kicked a weta workshop prop uruk hai helmet!
Actually, the inheritance tax might have been why Bilbo took the mithril shirt to Rivendell. The Ring may not have been evaluated, but we know that shiny bit o’ garb was worth more than the value of the Shire. The tax on that would have been astronomical. (Granted, Bilbo may have kept that and Sting because he was going on a semi-dangerous trip and it’s wise to have some protection…but both can be true!) By giving it to Frodo secretly out of state, I think Bilbo was trying to stick it to the man.
I love the way the hand behind Gandalf is giving use the finger and Boromir will later play the Hand in GoT.
I love this series
I actually proper lol'd a few times. Gandalf doing Boromir's voice was FAF.
So damn good!
Gandalf reread the same scrolls over and over while eating pizza in Denathor s basement, the old toby can do that sometimes #LOTRrisetowar
Oh yes, he was talking to Tom Bombidil...bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow.😅
The main thing Gandalf did was chase his hat around when the wind blew it off. One would think Mr Gandalf would have fashioned something to keep his hat from blowing away after the first year of it happening but 17 years later, still chasing his hat. Kind of embarrassing for a wizard 😂
#LOTRRiseToWar
1 minute 25 secs in and im already giggling 😂 "turns out the eagles love pranks". Never stop!
#lotrrisetowar For the 17 years Gandalf is away from The Shire, the main thing he is doing is searching for Gollum with help from Aragorn.
The other minor things that he does during that time is a bit of reaserch on the ring at Minas-Tirith, and taking a short break from searching for Gollum (while leaving Aragorn to continue searching though, who actually finds him) because he can't find him after multiple years.
Hi, congrats, you have been chosen as one of the winners of the LOTR rise to war competition, if you could email me at voicetractor@gmail.com or message me on instagram and we can work out getting your prize money
15:03 great, you made me have an existential crisis 😒
LMAOO the conjurer of cheap tricks joke!
Love this shit dude. The characters are so much more fun than in the films. Looking forward to what comes next!
Lmaooooo
Boromir's out-of-breath voice killed me
Super looking forward to the next episode with Tom Bombadil XD
New set looks good
So the most important, I mean there are a few things, but the most important thing that Gandalf did for the progression of everything was to set out with Aragon to search for gollum, the task lasted for the seventeen years, after Gandalf went to Minas Tirith to search the scrolls and then on his way back to Frodo got word of gollum’s capture by Aragorn and learned gollum “spilled the beans” about the shire and dropped the name Baggins. And all that started with the quest to get gollum seventeen years prior with Aragorn when Gandalf first left the shire. That is the main thing Gandalf did, basically. #lotrrisetowar
Also if you feel mine “wins”, I’m mean it is a right answer out of many right ones, but donate it. Or just give me a shout out and pass it on to the next. Again if mine is any good at all.
Waiting for ever! Cmon
all the technologie of this era and the genious of one man came together to create this pinnacle of human existance. ( i mean all his videos )
I can't stop laughing at this! Hilarious!! Thanks Charlie!
Ah the old "Sentient Potato" gag. Classic.
I'm loving the Westron tongue. Gandalf tracked Gollum and put the fear of fire into him.

21:58 that's really funny
This is the best MSTK3 version of the LOTR evar!!!!
More Gandalf!!
Id like a Gandalf and crew reaction to the cutscenes from the shadow of wars games funny enough would be funny to see their reactions
1000 years on middle-earth is a long time to amass a LEGO collection, 2 years at Minas Tirith is not nearly enough time to sort them all into combinations of Brick type, Brick size, Colour, Genre, Sets, etc. Not only that, but he had managed to get hold of at least one Gandalf, and one Dumbledore, the remaining 15 years was trying to figure out which one was which. Not made any easier when at some point in around TA 3005 and eclipse of Moths overturned his sorting trays in revolt when he asked them to go to a greasy spoon in Bethnal Green for a Fry-up.Minas Tirith #LOTRRISETOWAR
Loved all the stuff behind Gandalf but two questions, what is the tip of his hat pointing to on the table? It looks like a box that a ring comes in, you know, the outer box, not the fancy one inside that actually holds the ring. Did you get engaged?
It makes me sad that these videos dont do as well as the star wars ones, cuz theyre just as funny
I’m fairness I don’t think Star Wars hit its stride until the end of the phantom menace, so maybe that will be the same here, also Star Wars is more in the news
I forget you guys have to cook your chips because they're fries
Just spat my drink out at "weird thing to put in a will" - thank you for making me have to clean out my keyboard

Charlie, you should definitely try Merry over Sam. Or both, up to you.

It’s getting a lot better
this series?
@@CharlieHopkinson all of them are looking seemless
Mr. Frodo let's eat him killlllllled me 🤣🤣
#LotrRiseToWar just hung out at Tosche Station
Here is an idea, tell the eagles you want to play a prank on Sauron anx throw his ring in the fire!
16:48 Gandalf thought Frodo was "Pippin" him, which sort of translates to trolling in our churlish tongue...
“And he lived happily ever after till the end of his days. P.S. whenever he saw the ring he turned into a little goblin and went completely berserk and couldn’t stop crying, but other than that he was fine”
That’s about it
Frodo was such a rich kid. Gandelf folded his clothes and Frodo snatched it and unrolled it threw it in the pack.
Gandalf was just in a bender, it's gotta be stressful wielding all that power with all the other Mayar in the realm have all turned evil- he's probably wondering if he isn't also going to get corrupted like the rest of his Kin. Gandalf is an alcoholic, it's easy to see. Gandalf is good though, so he got is crap together and got back on track, obviously.
