Sort of in the same vein as the "BEST SHOW LINES- 2008" thread, I'd like to start one of memorable characters and spacework. So, as you see great character work and or spacework in the months ahead feel free to recognize them in this thread. It might be helpful for next year's AIC awards as well.

I'd like to start off by recognizing Jason Vines from the IFE show last night. He played a good ole southern preacher in a scene where Jesus was Arnold Schwartzenegerjxdgytr. I thought Jason really nailed the voice without it being over the top. He even provided Arnold with a signature phrase "Stick around...sinner." for when Arnold killed someone by throwing a dagger (or some other pointy object) at them. Very nice Vines!!!

I'd also like to give some props to Matt Pollack from last night's IFE show for his spacework during a walk-thru (that was later called back). He was a little old lady with a walker. Matt did a really nice job taking it slowly and maintaining the "walker" all the way across the stage. He was able to get a ton of mileage out of it. The audience loved it. Nice job Matt!!!

Lastly to Bob from the IFE show (very good show all around guys!!!). The German was hilarious and spot on. I loved it later when you came back as just the German's head. Uber sweet!!!

I'd like to recognize Erika May for her Koala. All she did was slowly climb a tree, pick her nose, and eat things from the tree but you could totally tell she was a koala. Context: Erika May was a koala behind a quarter peepshow door and Chris Trew was masturbating while watching her eat eucalyptus leaves.
