Bionic Buzz® got to interview actor, voice artist, comedian and impressionist Jim Meskimen. We talked to him about his series Impress Me which is available on Amazon Prime, his YouTube channel, his role on Viral Vignettes and more. Jim will be hosting a fundraiser for the Actors Fund this Saturday at May 8th at 5 PM PT / 8 PM EST. There will be a Q&A from many of the original Viral Vignettes performers, writers, and directors plus live chat rooms with some of them during the show. The series is fully scripted and produced in 2020 during the early days of the pandemic.

Stars play characters talking to each other over Skype, FaceTime or Zoom, dealing with the ups and downs of life, during that unprecedented time. Viral Vignettes, eleven one-act comedies starring popular character actors from classic TV shows and films will be part of a three-hour streaming show. Program will include Q&As with the actors to benefit The Actors Fund. Originally produced in the first months of the pandemic in 2020, the series raised money for the Actors Fund and premiered on the YouTube Channel POP GOES THE CULTURE TV.

This very special one-time encore of Viral Vignettes will be another opportunity for viewers to contribute to the Actors Fund, which in the past year has surpassed all previous years in their vital mission.
