James Lipton Reenacts the Christian Bale Rant

Posted on February 6, 2009

Conan O'Brien shared people's frustrations that the Christian Bale rant is only audio -- there's no video to go with it. So he asked James Lipton of Inside the Actor's Studio to reenact the scene.

Lipton dons his John Connor Terminator costume and lets it rip. He does a fabulous -- and hilarious -- job, playing both Christian and the downcast director of photography.

You can watch the funny clip on Page Six.

Not surprisingly Conan was not the only comedy show making good use of the rant. Stephen Colbert used it on The Colbert Report when he unleashed a verbal tirade against an unsuspecting Steve Martin.

Colbert wanted Martin off the set but getting him to leave was not that easy.
