BBtv: Klaus Pierre, French-German Action Hero in Training in America at Coffee Shop.
If you stand in front of a cafe on Sunset Boulevard with a giant beatbox on your head, will chicks dig you? French/German actor Klaus Pierre explores this enigma, and reflects on the challenges of dating in America.
Klaus aspires against all odds to become America's next great action hero. We met him in the previous BBtv episode "Point Break and Heartbreak," in which he revealed his devotion to the great Keanu Reeves; then followed him to swordfighting class. Today we learn that becoming a great action hero isn't all about the fight -- it's about pickup lines, too.

Pretty funny character this guy made up. I think I would watch at least a full short film with this bit.
If it is a character, then he's doing pretty well with it. But if that's really how the guy acts, then it's a pity nobody's ever had the patience to explain what he's doing wrong.
The only reason I'm waffling is because I know a guy from Alabama who is the American version of this guy, and he's not acting.
"Sprudelwasser" means "sparkling mineral water", just in case anybody wants to know. Never heard it used the way he does, seems like a random choice to me.
He's not so much German (or French) as more a collection of every German (or French) clichè Americans seem to have about German or French people. Which usually baffles me a bit: How do you guys come up with that? We're not like that.
We actually do wash our hair ever once in a while, you know, most of us even on a regular (daily) basis.
But then again, maybe I should just be thankful that the jodeling dumb blonde Nazi type seems to be out of fashion... compared to that, Klaus-Pierre seems pretty good. Hell, even Ralf Möller is good compared to that.
Hm. Betcha he wants in on 15min. of John Malkovitch's brain.
