he really was. its like walter white, no one else could have played him correctly. it was like the role was made for cranston. anyway, agreed with that. i think he should have won an award, same as dule hill, for their acting. it was awesome, and how they addlib and what not
I'm an actress and I know first hand how incredibly nerve-wracking auditioning can be. This was an absolutely flawless audition. I pray that one day I am as fortunate.
I like "Gus, don't be the way Eriq La Salle spells Eric". But I also love when Gus says "My name is Burton Guster and this is my associate, William Zane."
It's kind of embarrassing thinking of anyone else trying out for this part after this audition, because I don't see how anyone could nail it better. Actors pray for auditions like these.
Started rewatching the show again. god he has SO much charisma 😭😭 they made the besttttt choice in giving him that role. Well earned. Gotta love em !!!
Wait, did they write this show and have him audition, or did he simply approach them, start talking and they decided to do a show? Clearly he is Shawn.
I love how it seems so casual, like nobody is quiet it's 2 minute of people laughing at him because they can't help it. Doesn't seem like a professional casting at all and it's kind of refreshing. He's just doing his think and people can't get enough of it. Psych would be trash without this for sure.
He went into the audition not caring if he got it or not because he was ready to go back to NYC and do theater so he had absolutely NO nerves going in. And just crushed it.
What a great audition, great personality. That's so Shawn...his hair looks better though (ponders)...I have the season one dvd and i've never seen this! great thing for youtube and you!
The cast of Psych is amazing. The show is meant to be hilarious and it is. James Roday is a genius. He came in and embodied the character so well. I couldnt imagine anyone else being Shawn Spencer. He's awesome.
i think james has a funny personatlity and ever one can see it in his acting and the bloopers and because of him he's the only reason i watch the show. he makes it funny and entertaining and i fell in love with him and the show. i love u james
Seriously, no one can play Sean better than Roday! He's absolutely hysterical! I really like how Sean's always playing around & acting immature. This guy is completely perfect.
Imagine doing all that BEFORE the character was ever had all these attributes. Just to have the balls to take a chance like that out in front of other people who are in charge of hiring you. Damn son!
I honestly thought he came up with this role. Thats how made for this role how is. I didn’t even think that he would have had to audition for this. He’s so perfect.
what the heck I barely herd that. well Psych is my favorite show and Shawn Spencer/ James Roday is my favorite character plus my friends and I made videos of Psych we did every single ep and they wanted me to be Shawn Spencer cause I can do the best voice and expression and my dad reached me to look for stuff so I can be sort of a Psych kick
A script he had memorized. He's responding after the lines she reads. The rest is just great acting on his part. Plus, obviously, he had a good idea of what he wanted the character to be like, behave etc. before he ever entered the room.
@SolrSurfr3 he has been in some movies. He was in Dukes of Hazzard. He wasn't a main character though (heisn't in any of the movies he has been in) I am guessing you want to see him as a main character, but he did have a decent size role in dukes of hazzard if you ever want to see it.
The writer's and producers were seeing written work in a real live character.. so they were excited and besides, it was their jokes, so they are going to respond more than most.....
had James not auditioned Psych would have never been the same. Thank god for James Roday.
Exactly. We would have never got the pineapple running joke or the nickname running joke. Both were originally improvised by James Roday.
*God
I miss this show so much
Amen
Still missing it…
he and this role were made for each other plain and simple
I agree
Totally
he really was. its like walter white, no one else could have played him correctly. it was like the role was made for cranston. anyway, agreed with that. i think he should have won an award, same as dule hill, for their acting. it was awesome, and how they addlib and what not
I don't know but didn't he create the role?
TheGenicus I thought so too.
Damn. He was straight up born to play Shawn Spencer. What an audition.
He made Shawn Spencer Shawn Spencer
Damn right he was! 🍍🍍
Man, he nailed that interview.
I'm an actress and I know first hand how incredibly nerve-wracking auditioning can be. This was an absolutely flawless audition. I pray that one day I am as fortunate.
well, have you been fortunate?
@@multi-trackdrifting facts I’m curious

@@catedoge3206 what the-?
@@magicmofy2871 jk. LOL
My fave line between Shawn and Gus is, "Gus, don't be the only black lead on a major cable network." Pure genius. Lok
In Plain Fright is such a great episode!
I like "Gus, don't be the way Eriq La Salle spells Eric". But I also love when Gus says "My name is Burton Guster and this is my associate, William Zane."
I couldn't see anyone else playing his part
Yeah, because he's the only one you've seen.
@@wss33 Or maybe James is just so perfect that he's the only one we need to see.
@@wss33 I could see multiple people playing characters in other shows

Same
Pure genius and pure talent. He absolutely killed that audition, no one could compare. James.... u can hit me up anytime! Seriously.. Lol
Wait, did they write this show and have him audition, or did he simply approach them, start talking and they decided to do a show? Clearly he is Shawn.
Usually few episodes or sometimes all episodes are already written before audition.
@@Shorts-gz3qk you missed the joke
@@Shorts-gz3qk you're the kind of person to break their neck trying to see the joke going over their head 😐
@@Wooktent is it really a joke though?

Actually alot of it is his own stuff.
He co-wrote alot of them.
I think he's an incredible actor.
He could never be replaced.
best choice ever
He is so perfect
He's hilarious and his auditoion was a total HIT!! James is perfect for this show, I can't imagine some one else being "Shawn Spencer."
Psych Rules!!
psych has become my comfort show over the years, so glad casting did such a great job
Why is Shawn auditioning to be himself?!
I never get tired of watching this series. He is the perfect Shawn!!!
Perfect casting. We were hooked the day that the pilot aired. I’m so happy that we were already watching TBS & Monk.
Oh my God ! this was brilliant. James is Shawn to the core...he is so fluid, such a natural...indescribably awesome !!
He defined the role with his audition
What a great audition, great personality. That's so Shawn...his hair looks better though (ponders)...I have the season one dvd and i've never seen this! great thing for youtube and you!
12 years ago woah
First time seeing a 15 year old comment on TH-cam.
@@purvamp and I'm still here lmao 😂
HaHaHaHa! I love James Roday! The show always makes me laugh. The only thing better than this is James Roday aaaaannnd Dule Hill!
I've never seen an audition where the actor was so naturally perfect for the part.
Ten people have been psyched out in the end.
James Roday is awesome😊I loved the show😊Can't wait for the second movie😀
James is that friend that lightens everybody's mood.
I'm so glad they picked James for the part :) He's hilarious
I'm glad they picked james he's funny:)
Ohhh he's so perfect. I love how you can hear everyone laughing.
omg this scene is so expanded!!! I love this scene in the first episode!!!!
he deserved this role. and it is thanks to him that some of the other characters are in it. LOVE PSYCH
I can't imagine watching psych without James roday playing shawn
2:33 "Just today"
sure, at 8 seasons and 2 movies, and 1 Gus special! Only just
Plot twist, he's just Shawn in real life
The cast of Psych is amazing. The show is meant to be hilarious and it is. James Roday is a genius. He came in and embodied the character so well. I couldnt imagine anyone else being Shawn Spencer. He's awesome.
They made the right choice giving him that part. I love the whole show and his character is hilarious. I love the whole thing
i think james has a funny personatlity and ever one can see it in his acting and the bloopers and because of him he's the only reason i watch the show. he makes it funny and entertaining and i fell in love with him and the show.
i love u james
Seriously, no one can play Sean better than Roday! He's absolutely hysterical! I really like how Sean's always playing around & acting immature. This guy is completely perfect.
Shawn*
😂
The whole cast is amazing. This is great!
Those just happen to be my favorite episodes too.
I love James Roday and the whole cat of Psych!
omg! james is PERFECT for the part of shawn spencer! its almost as if they made the character with him in mind!
James OWNED it.
I can't even IMAGINE another actor playing shawn spencer
That is a lot of chandler Bing right there. He actually did an impression in the show
James Roday is an equal to RDJ’s Iron Man. No one else is PERFECT for the role and no one else will be. EVER
I want Dule Hill's audition for Gus
James Roday just IS Shawn Spencer. One cannot exist without the other lol
Fan-TAS-tic. Anyone else trying out for this would just be... strange.
He did such a fantastic job here.
James today is the most awesome st actor of all time!
He was born for this role
Love psych never stopped watching It
That was incredible. I love Psych and James Roday. Like PsychePuppet said, he was perfect. Nothing more to be said.
Imagine doing all that BEFORE the character was ever had all these attributes. Just to have the balls to take a chance like that out in front of other people who are in charge of hiring you. Damn son!
I would never be able to do this. I would just start laughing right in the middle of it.
I honestly thought he came up with this role. Thats how made for this role how is. I didn’t even think that he would have had to audition for this. He’s so perfect.
James is Shawn and Shawn is James it couldn't be any other way
nobody would have played this role better or even as good as james roday.
gawd he inspires me even more to become an actor. why can't i do that?!
I act and this guy already knew what he wanted to do with this character. Love it
lovvveeee this showww my favorite actor right hereeeeee
Am I the only one who has a feeling James would've made a great Tony Stark
Just 100% chaotic energy
he's so great!
Who disliked this!?
They need help
agreed
wow that was kick ass. he owned that part.. he walked in as Shawn Spencer. he was Shawn the Shawn we see. PERFECT and he is sexy..
He's so cute! =3
I can't see anyone else playing his part on Psych.
It's the part he was born to play!
Not that he couldn't do other parts too. I'd love to see him in a movie someday.
This audition is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
what the heck I barely herd that. well Psych is my favorite show and Shawn Spencer/ James Roday is my favorite character plus my friends and I made videos of Psych we did every single ep and they wanted me to be Shawn Spencer cause I can do the best voice and expression and my dad reached me to look for stuff so I can be sort of a Psych kick

You can see what he kept and what he abandoned for the role
Psych didn't choose James, James chose Psych.
Great work. Just the way he moves and talks is very believeable and hilarious.
miss this show
HA! im so glad he got the part!!!!
I wish I could forget I ever watched psych so I can rewatch it
Best ever! He was the only one who could play this part.
Wow, what a performance. I hope this guy gets the part. :-)
It was like, Psych is auditioning for James Roday.
Wait for iiiiit ..... Awesome!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was sensing he would get this part (squinty eyes and tilted face)
there must be found a new name for his coolness
roday is hilarious and dule is an outstanding support actor.
I could see James Roday as Capt. James Tiberius Kirk.
He was def born for this
He's awesome! And only which can play this role :) I love Shawn
@SolrSurfr3 he has been in some movies. He was in Dukes of Hazzard. He wasn't a main character though (heisn't in any of the movies he has been in) I am guessing you want to see him as a main character, but he did have a decent size role in dukes of hazzard if you ever want to see it.
Psych is a show they will never die
Those were liek the best episodes, too!
its on the psych season 1 dvd extras :)
Aww, he's gotten so much more confident :)
he's such a winner!
I smiled throughout the entire audition :)
James Roday is brilliant lol
He was the ONLY man for the job
The writer's and producers were seeing written work in a real live character.. so they were excited and besides, it was their jokes, so they are going to respond more than most.....
