PHENOMENAL episode. Listened to it earlier this morning. Y’all are in for a real treat. The impressions are out of this world!! Once again , I am in awe of you Rosey. Have a great week everyone 😊
About 8 years ago "Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of Mork & Mindy" popped up on my UA-cam recommended page and I ended up watching the whole thing because I was so mesmerized by how amazing the guy playing Robin Williams was, and I couldn't understand how this performance hadn't become more famous. That was the first time I ever saw Chris and every time he pops up somewhere I always think about that and am so glad to see he's getting recognized for his talent.
Lifelong 3 Stooges fan here. Chris was fantastic as Moe. The other guys were great as well. I'm so glad an actual hardcore fan got to play Moe, and he was so good.
Chris has such an amazing story! I loved hearing about his acting journey and the struggles that came with it. Most people didn't like or didn't see The Three Stooges, but as a lifelong stooge fan I loved it. What a fun update!
How is Chris not an A-list celeb, turning down roles because he's too busy. He was phenomenal on Silicon Valley. His impersonations are amazing. Such a great conversation!
Chris is really gifted. He always stands out in everything i see him in and wish he got even more parts. This interview proves he is a natural performer.
100% my favorite episode to date! (and i've been around since day 1)! It has everything from Chris and Michael each busting out their own amazing impressions, to how much someone in the biz like him has to GRIND to get a part, and so much more. Rosey, you out did yourself on this one. 2022 is off to a fantastic start with #insideofyou
This episode is so delightful. Chris is definitely a gifted impressionist. He had so many great stories. I definitely look forward to a part 2. Happy 200th.
Ho-ly fuck. I almost didn't watch this ep. I'm SO glad I did. Thank you, Michael. I can't even explain how much you've filled vacuums I didn't even know I had. ♥
It's the voice of Mickey Mouse himself! Looking forward to listening Chris has been in a ton of cool stuff but I really don't know much about him. The amount of impressions he can do is crazy! Wonderful ep. Happy Tuesday 🤠
Chris is infinitely more intelligent and capable than Hollywood has ever given him credit for; this dude is plucked right out of the golden age. He’s so fucking experienced and knowledgeable and passionate, it’s a shame we aren’t seeing him front and center in more shit. Killer podcast, love hearing guests like this anywhere, even more so on this podcast.
He's an example of how the most talented entertainers aren't the most famous recognized for his incredible skills. He's so good in everything he does it's hard to believe he has to work this hard to land roles.
I had seen Chris in a Robin Williams biopic when I was younger and thought he did an amazing job. I messaged Chris once just after the Stooges movie congratulating him on a fantastic performance. Will and Sean were also great but Chris was the only one I felt the desire to reach out to. The level of artistry he brought to recreating Moe was incredible. He was gracious enough to respond, and after hearing in more detail the level of commitment he put to even getting the part, it was such a thrill as a Stooge fan hearing back from him. As usual the Hollywood masterminds have no idea on what they're doing or why they're doing it, and it's a shame that such talented performers are subject to the whims of brain-dead lunatics. I do have to say though, Chris, that you didn't just embody Moe the character, you embodied Moe the man. Because would it really have been an accurate Moe Howard if you didn't get shortchanged by studio execs? You knucklehead! Why yoooooou! I hope that Stooges sequel gets out of development hell!
Ah I remember him from 24 tv show and the latest Neflix film Red Notice. The Sean Connery impression is spot on with Chris Diamantopoulos. Seriously though James Gunn needs to hire him for his DC spin-off show. This guy can do improve so well.
This is the first episode I’ve watched other than the Billy Boyd/Dom Monaghan and I couldn’t be more excited to watch more. I have a deep love for Disney and have always wanted to know more about my favorite voice of Mickey. Thank you so much for doing what you do Michael and I can’t wait to take an even deeper dive “inside of you” 😉❤️
I listened to this yesterday and had to come back for the impressions. Mr. Rosenbaum, as usual, you've done an exceptional job and brought a unique entertainer to your show. Keep up the good work, and I'll be tuning in on my way home to try and catch up on episodes.
i have been watching alot of the episodes lately. and i have to say the thing i love most about your pod cast / interviews is that they arn't just about what their current project is. its about thier past, present and future. its about thier lives, good and bad.. it really goes along way to humanizing the stars that come on. and i love that.
I don’t know much about Chris Diamantopoulos and I’m looking forward to getting to know him through your interview with him. Red Notice is on my list to watch. Congratulations Michael and the IOU team on 200 episodes!! Thank you so much for this amazing podcast that is so dear to me. So proud of you Michael. Keep up the awesome work!! You will always have my love and support. Love you Michael ❤️ Happy Tuesday ^_^ 💙
I really enjoyed this episode, getting to know Chris and his story. It puts into perspective the grind and perseverance that you need to have to make it whatever area you’re passionate about and not to give up.
This has been such a great episode so far. I didn’t realize that he did so many great voices. I look forward to finishing it and learning more about him.
Amazing interview. I had no idea how talented Chris is. I can't believe he doesn't get offered everything. He should be added to your list of people that come on every year. Cheers!
Wow, just another outstanding episode. I laughed so hard so many times. Thank you, Michael, and to Chris, I didn't realize how talented he is. I also didn't realize how many things I had seen him in. I am going to play his Mickey voice for my 2 grandsons, they are going to love it.
I've been listening to your interviews for years, and this is definitely one of the best; such an incredible interview. Mr. Diamantopoulos seems like such a nice and incredible guy. Very hard working and deserving of the recent success in films and shows. Can listen to him talk about his process and doing impressions for hours. Would love to see him back in the future to talk about other projects. Keep up the great interviews Mr. Rosenbaum!
What a fantastic episode! I didn’t know that much about Chris but I’m definitely going to be watching his work now. Impressions are spot on! His Man of LaMancha story shows his drive, wow!!! PS Ryan does look like a young James Brolin!
Wow. I had so much fun listening to Chris. He was so informative and insightful about all aspects of the business. I caught my self looking just as amazed as you Michael when he did Johnny Carson! You once again knocked it out of the park Michael! Thanks Chris for an amazing time. I'm watching this one again!
This was an awesome episode. Mostly knew Chris from Silicon Valley and his recent Netflix work. Had no idea he was so talented! Hope he continues to land more feature roles! What a joy to watch!
My friends and I were bored asf one night and said fuck it let's watch The Three Stooges Movie. We proceeded to laugh our asses off, call it and us low brow but the gags were great and the story was pretty good for the purpose it served. Which was let's get from gag A to B. Seems people were gonna be hard on it from the get go. The actors that played the Stooges did a great job too.
Can't do anything but tip my hat to this guy. Chris just showed everyone how hard you need to work to do it. Can't believe your back-up guy tried downplaying his talent
I loved this episode!! As a former, TERRIBLE actor I notice a cpl things…sometimes the crazy stories would make u think its possible for a nobody to “make it”…but notice some tidbits: preparation…access to the Warner Bros lot(no way ur gettin on a major studio lot if ur a nobody)…natural talent + impressive amounts of hard work bordering on obsession…proactive parents recognizing and acting on the obvious talent…these may not be the only crumbs on the path as tenacity and luck play a part but they are definitely separators between those that make it….man this was a great episode.
We lived in Greece and Dad would have these parties and we would have a whole lamb on a spit. I was 5 years old but remembered many things. I loved souvlaki. Yum!
good first impression of this impressive master of impressions. More seriously what a stubborn and interesting guest he is, did not know much about him until now.
When I saw him in Red Notice I was laughing. I was like "I like this actor but I cannot believe they cast him as the main villain in the movie". But it totally worked. I'm also a huge fan of Dany Kaye as well.
So this is my first exposure to this guy and as I’m listening to his voice driving in my car and now I’m home actually watching him I don’t even have to look it up - he was Brian, the sound guy on 2 episodes of “The Office” - the one whose character gets fired for defending Pam against the a-hole who defaced her mural? (Yeah I’m way too into The Office). Anyway this is delightful and will watch for him in other things.
We need Alan Ritchson on the show!! You two can talk up his phenomenal new Amazon Prime show Reacher, plus take a trip down Smallville memory lane with our fave AC 🧡💚 or talk about his time as Hawk on Titans 🪶
Such a great interview!! I first saw him in Starter Wife with Debra Messing. Amazing impressions, heck he is freaking Mickey the Mouse!! Plus Greek Canadian!! What's not to love?
This was an amazing episode. One of the things that got to me was how he felt he couldn't do Robin Williams and yet there he was becoming Robin right in the Inside of Your studio. I loved Danny Kaye as a child. Michael needs to watch some Danny Kaye. Inside of You continues to give us great insight and inspiration. And I continue to love and admire Rosenbaum.
I attended Saturday morning Greek language classes in high school with Chris and I can verify that he was exactly as he says. He would walk with a group of friends (3-4 other guys if I recall). He was always walking in front of them and essentially performing in front of them while walking down the hallway and his friends being his traveling audience. It was sight to see. He was always on. I'm glad he found success in entertainment.
Mr..... I was one of your greatest Fan, I never missed and episode of Superman. You where fantastic you will always be the best Lex character. Nobody will ever do it better honey ...💕
Michael Rosenbaum Love ur Podcast❣ U never disappoint❤ Keep up the Awesome Sauce Job🤗🤗 Congratulations again on ur 200th episode to u and ur Production Team ❣ Stay Safe ❣
Chris’s energy and joy is absolutely infectious. This and Alan Ritchson have been incredible episodes.
This is one of the best episodes in the Podcast entire run. What a nice, talented, person Chris seems to be.
PHENOMENAL episode. Listened to it earlier this morning. Y’all are in for a real treat. The impressions are out of this world!! Once again , I am in awe of you Rosey. Have a great week everyone 😊
I've been I'll for a while. Just wanted to drop in and say hello. 👋
@@franktaylor595 great to hear from you. Sorry you have been ill.
Hey my lovely🥰 have a great week all❤️
This is great. What a talent. I had my eye on Chris for awhile. That 3 stooges was really under rated and genuine
Oh man those Connery and Robin Williams impressions were SPOT. ON. Chris is awesome. Toronto boy too!
Really appreciate all these amazing comments. If you loved the ep please subscribe and write a review. love, rosey

Russ was awesome. Best line: "I totally love you, you creepy fuck."
How is Chris not an A-list celeb, turning down roles because he's too busy. He was phenomenal on Silicon Valley. His impersonations are amazing. Such a great conversation!
You can tell Michael and Ryan really have a fun time with this POD. Chris Diamantopoulos was a great guest and loved his stuff on AD!
How fun! I recognize him but didn't know anything about him. This was great and now I'm a fan! LOVE his impressions!
Chris is really gifted. He always stands out in everything i see him in and wish he got even more parts. This interview proves he is a natural performer.

Thank you for being inside of Chris, I didn't know anything about him. He now has 1 more fan 👍 peace and love y'all 🤟
Laughed until coffee came out of my nose, totally worth it! Excellent interview💙
Pleeeease have him back on. Loved seeing you two in your element.

Exactly! Then they pay him the least money possible is disgusting.
He is so brilliant and UNDERRATED. Great interview!! ❤

I don’t know much about Chris Diamantopoulos and I’m looking forward to getting to know him through your interview with him. Red Notice is on my list to watch.

You will always have my love and support. Love you Michael ❤️
Happy Tuesday ^_^ 💙
Don't listen to any of the critics, Red Notice was a fun, enjoyable movie. It's a Ryan Reynolds movie, so you know what to expect.
This was one of my favourite interviews. Chris was so captivating and his Robin Williams impression was fantastic!
I really enjoyed this episode, getting to know Chris and his story. It puts into perspective the grind and perseverance that you need to have to make it whatever area you’re passionate about and not to give up.
This has been such a great episode so far. I didn’t realize that he did so many great voices. I look forward to finishing it and learning more about him.
Amazing interview. I had no idea how talented Chris is. I can't believe he doesn't get offered everything. He should be added to your list of people that come on every year. Cheers!
Fantastic interview. Eye-opening and entertaining.
You can't stop the Greek work ethic. What a wonderful man.
Wow, just another outstanding episode. I laughed so hard so many times. Thank you, Michael, and to Chris, I didn't realize how talented he is. I also didn't realize how many things I had seen him in. I am going to play his Mickey voice for my 2 grandsons, they are going to love it.
This guy is a great actor. His portrayal of Robin Williams was excellent. Really did Moe amazing
I have become recently aware of Chris. He is absolutely incredible
Listened to this episode 4 times its fucking amazing!!!
Wow what a great interview... Never heard of this guy and now im a fan... Thank you rosenbaum u f*ckin rock!
What an incredible interview!
Russ Hanaman is one of my favorite characters of all time..
I've been listening to your interviews for years, and this is definitely one of the best; such an incredible interview. Mr. Diamantopoulos seems like such a nice and incredible guy. Very hard working and deserving of the recent success in films and shows. Can listen to him talk about his process and doing impressions for hours. Would love to see him back in the future to talk about other projects. Keep up the great interviews Mr. Rosenbaum!
Loved him in the Silicon Valley TV show. Hilarious!
Okay, enough is enough. This episode alone is the reason I'm becoming a patron. I love you, man.❤
What a fantastic episode! I didn’t know that much about Chris but I’m definitely going to be watching his work now. Impressions are spot on! His Man of LaMancha story shows his drive, wow!!!
PS Ryan does look like a young James Brolin!
Wow. I had so much fun listening to Chris. He was so informative and insightful about all aspects of the business. I caught my self looking just as amazed as you Michael when he did Johnny Carson! You once again knocked it out of the park Michael! Thanks Chris for an amazing time. I'm watching this one again!
Inspiring work ethic. Great interview!
"I knew it had to be done." Bit of a theme, especially with the Stooges, that's nuts.
This episode was right there with the Kiefer / Patric episode. Loving the show and the movie posters
Great episode! I didn't know Chris but I could listen to him forever😊.
You'll have to get him back to discuss his role as JQ on Mrs. Davis. THAT is such an amazing role, which he completely kills, and steals every scene.
This was an awesome episode. Mostly knew Chris from Silicon Valley and his recent Netflix work. Had no idea he was so talented! Hope he continues to land more feature roles! What a joy to watch!
Holy shit! Had no idea he was from Toronto. That's awesome. So am I and WUTV is like old home week.
Ohh yeah. Hidden gem this episode. I love going inside the Inside Of You rabbit hole.
Chris is brilliant with his impressions. Great episode!
It's so cool seeing Ryan on here, he always crushes it on Warp Zone
Fantastic episode. This is like inside the actor's studio.
Alright one of the clips finally got me to listen to a full episode
Because I've never posted this on any of your podcast.. You were the best Lex EVER! Great episode!
My friends and I were bored asf one night and said fuck it let's watch The Three Stooges Movie.

An amazingly talented, fascinating and funny man. I thoroughly enjoyed that. Many thanks to Michael and Chris and Ryan.
Thank you for the show - A new member

Amazing guest! Love it
I started looking for Chris Diamantopoulos after watching The 3 Stooges. I'm glad I did. Does he look like Jay Kay from Jamiroquai or nah?
Amazing definitely one of my top episodes.. great guest
What an interview!
I remember this guy from season 8 of 24! He played the ambitious trouble maker very well haha
Chris seems like a great guy. I really loved this episode
Always great never thought I would like podcast but it’s amazing
Great episode
Yes!!! My favorite part of Tuesday 💙🤘

We need Alan Ritchson on the show!! You two can talk up his phenomenal new Amazon Prime show Reacher, plus take a trip down Smallville memory lane with our fave AC 🧡💚 or talk about his time as Hawk on Titans 🪶
Excellent podcast!
Have not watched or listens don a couple weeks but notice more people in person which is better so things going good I take it
That 3 stooges no audition story was pretty crazy!
Such a great interview!! I first saw him in Starter Wife with Debra Messing. Amazing impressions, heck he is freaking Mickey the Mouse!! Plus Greek Canadian!! What's not to love?
OMG! So amazingly cool. Just a really entertaining and engaging conversation.
I LOVE this man!
Bravo!
This was an amazing episode. One of the things that got to me was how he felt he couldn't do Robin Williams and yet there he was becoming Robin right in the Inside of Your studio.

Like always, great episode!
I cannot believe you got the voice of the new Mickey Mouse shows. This seems so off-brand, but I absolutely love it. I'm so excited to listen to this
Keep kicking butt Michael you're killing it. Btw are you a Anaheim Ducks or LA Kings fan?
I haven't seen anyone do commercials better than Michael (well, maybe, Howard Stern)!
I enjoyed Chris' performance as Robin Williams.
I was a little bit in love with Chris after he appeared on The Office. Now I'm all the way in love with him.
Mr..... I was one of your greatest Fan, I never missed and episode of Superman.
You where fantastic you will always be the best Lex character.
Nobody will ever do it better honey ...💕
Michael Rosenbaum Love ur Podcast❣ U never disappoint❤ Keep up the Awesome Sauce Job🤗🤗 Congratulations again on ur 200th episode to u and ur Production Team ❣ Stay Safe ❣
I sat here staring at him for a solid fifteen minutes before going, "oh, he was on the office".
