Since we’re heading to the Bay Area soon for another Rifftrax Live, I thought I’d better work on my George Lucas impression.
Hmm? What do you think? I know I need to work on the hair. The hair’s tough, believe me. I tried clown white, no dice, so I dodged it in Photoshop. But that wave - man! It’s one of his most startling accomplishments. George has spent decades, millions of dollars, endless man-hours of engineering to get that hair that way.
I think I have the whole neck thing down cold, though.
What do you think? I need your help. What can I do to look more like George Lucas?
Thanks in advance.
*UPDATE - A CHALLENGE!*
Kevin, you have quickly and very decisively mastered George Lucas: Are you up to a little Proximo?
(Hint: The secret to looking like Oliver Reed? Drink 4 pints of Guinness every single morning whether you feel like it or not. Stick with it. You won’t look like Oliver Reed right away, but with commitment, late nights - with lots of Guinness chased down with Four Roses - and the accumulation of stout by-products in your skin folds, you will begin to see the resemblance.)

*CHALLENGE II: THE QUICKENING!*
Kevin, once you’re finished with Oliver Reed, try Billy “Tell Her About It” Joel on for size.
Feel free to steal the top of my head for Photoshopping purposes, in order to get properly receding hair.
cheers,
BILL
ACCEPTANCE OF CHALLENGES 1 AND II: The Destruction of Jared Syn
Gentlemen:
It’s on.
Give me twelve hours and a bottle of Maker’s Mark.

If it’s a more-Lucas thing you’re going for, I suggest that you replace yourself on every single MST and Film Crew episode with a digitized Hayden Christensen. And then Mike or Bill could shoot you. First.

You still need to hot-glue 735 ILM lips to your ass.

You don’t quite have the “neck thing” down quite yet.
You need to over-inflate your neck a heck of a lot more.
Think of how frogs do their mating call, and you’ll get the idea…

You need to pull your hairpiece down about three more inches.

There’s something missing. You need to have a look in your eyes that says “I crushed the hopes of many loyal fans and I’m loving every second of it.”

If only you had just a touch more ALF or Ewok DNA, you’d have the look nailed right down.

You’ve got the squint down, but try not to look so happy…pretend you’re Lucas and a six year old fan is telling you how great the Holiday Special is….that ought to give you the right ‘bemused’ expression

I think that you need to raise your eyebrows along with your squint. I mean, George has a constant look of “I am looking directly at you, sun, because I am George Lucas, bitch, and I decide who shoots first!”. Sort of an amused arrogance.

Yeah, definitely need a little more smugness. And don’t forget that touch of panic in the back of your head. The panic that comes from knowing that you’ve crushed an entire generation of worshippers. This panic driving you (even as the picture is being taken) to create a new generation of worshippers with LEGO toys and an upcoming television series that will surely be aimed directly at tweens. But mostly the smugness thing.

You could be his stunt double. Which is good cause he is replacing Chris Tucker in the next sequel in the Rush Hour movies.
As far as Proximo, you have to be able to spot queer giraffes.

The wavy gray bangs make the Lucas look.

Put bits of hay in hair. Find cow. Have cow lick hair (try not to let the cow eat the hair, because then you’ll have to wait ’til your hair grows out to try this again). Voila! George Lucas styling.

You knew it would degenerate to this…Mike started it!
Other Kevin Murphy Look A-Likes (Yes, opposed to the other way around, we know who the “real deal” is here):
Burt Reynolds (Beardy and the Bandit)
Michael MacDonald (Ain’t No Beard High Enough)
Dave Letterman (with Writer’s Strike Solidarity beard)
Sigmund Freud (beard envy)
Sean Connery (that should boost the ‘ol ego, eh?)
Rasputin (the beard that refused to die)
Grizzly Adams (take bear and and a ‘d’ and you get beard - coincidence? I think not!)
Karl Marx (beard for the proletariat)
Quite the rogues gallery, yes?

You should do a rifftrax skit where you ARE George Lucas singing Billy Joel songs.

Then get mad and storm off saying that you want to do classical music. That would be good

Yes Kevin, yes, but rest happy in the knowledge that your beard does in fact have a CHIN residing within it. And a neck. Lucas has neither, and perhaps even the beard itself is a Jedi mind trick as far as we know.

So YOU’RE responsible for the P.O.S. Star Wars Christmas Special?!
Why Kevin? WHY!!!

I think the key to Lucas is to hold you head high and lead with your neatly trimmed goiter. The Billy Joel look is also thyroid related.Oliver Reed, simple cirrhosis. A blood transfusion from Keith Richards should achieve the desired effect.

Kevin, you got the red nose down, but i have to agree, in that the smug-ness level is a bit low. Try pretending you and John Williams are golfing buddies and that you could have run for president against Reagan in the 80’s and with your leagues of followers could have crushed him…reach that level of smug and you’re there
