THAT was the fake Brian Atene. The real Brian Atene is back, and he's posting video on YouTube under the name Juilliard Dropout.

Looks like the older and fatter Atene is back. Now he’s calling out Steven Seagal because he’s such a martail arts stud! Love to see those two lisping tubs go at it! My moneys on the redhead!

Voice. People’s voices don’t change – THAT – much, unless the before was prior to puberty. Which it wasn’t. I’m just not hearing the same voice.

It’s him, and I base that mostly on the handwriting on the sign. It’s too close a match to be a forgery. Especially since the response looks like it was dashed off way too quickly to facillitate such an accurate mimic of this guys handwriting.

That and he seems just as big of an asshat as ever.

The IMDB does not have a listing for Brian Atene. An actor as bad as this MUST have worked at some point or another — I vote for FAKE.

I’m with the fake camp.

He is wearing the same clothes- why? Unless you’re trying really hard.

Also, his acting REALLY sucks. If he is still acting, and can’t even begin to understand the scene AFTER the movie has been made he isn’t anywhere near an actor.

Also, he says he is married. To a guy? My gaydar was spinking on him.

The scene slapped on the end is also meaningless and vulgar = whole thing is fake.

In my relative limited time “backstage” I have met people as pompous as Mr. Atene, but never anyone stupid enough to slag the very director they’re trying to work for directly to his or her face. I therefore submit that both videos are fake. Does Brian Atene exist? Was this for some larger project, or just to amuse his friends? What am I having for lunch to-day? These are all questions.

How sure are you this is even the same guy? Incredible weight gain aside the facial features don’t even look the same.

I think it’s a sendup of the original and not the same guy.
