  <title>Hobart on Music, Comedy, Hollywood, and Making 'I Am Ryan'</title>
  <description>Hobart Reveals the Insane Story Behind I Am Ryan and Hollywood’s Weirdest Fame, Game, Musician, actor, and creative wild card. Hobart sits down with Keith Reza for a funny, strange, and genuinely fascinating conversation about breaking into film, building a movie around an outrageous premise, and finding comedy in the absurdity of modern Hollywood. His official site describes a career spanning over 1,000 concerts, Warped Tour, acting, and live hosting — and this episode feels like all of that energy crashing together at once.&amp;amp;nbsp; The conversation dives into I Am Ryan, a comedy about a Ryan Reynolds doppelganger navigating Hollywood chaos, plus the role of improvisation, the power of sound design, the weirdness of celebrity culture, and the kind of big questions that turn a normal interview into something way more memorable.&amp;amp;nbsp; Guest Info: Hobart According to his official site, Hobart is a performer with a background that spans music, live entertainment, and screen work. His website describes him as having played over 1,000 concerts, being a Warped Tour veteran, a film, TV, and streaming actor, and the host of Live Play Bingo.&amp;amp;nbsp; His film I Am Ryan is listed on IMDb as a comedy about a Ryan Reynolds doppelganger and his manager causing chaos in Hollywood while navigating celebrity events and red carpets. IMDb lists the release date as May 22, 2026.&amp;amp;nbsp; Follow Hobart   Official Website: https://bigsushivampire.com/   Instagram: https://instagram.com/bigsushivampire   Twitter / X: https://twitter.com/bigsushivampire   YouTube: https://youtube.com/hobart   &amp;amp;nbsp; Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Movie Promotion 02:26 Hobart’s Musical Journey and Career 07:24 The Making of I Am Ryan 12:27 Casting and Improvisation in Film 17:25 Future Plans and Look-Alike Stunts 18:39 The Buddy Film Experience 20:09 The Importance of Comedy in Today’s Society 21:51 Creative Process and Filmmaking 24:04 The Role of Sound in Film 27:33 Personal Insights and Fears 32:41 Theories on Ancient Civilizations 36:26 Final Thoughts and Future Projects Support the show on https://patreon.com/rezarifts61&amp;amp;nbsp; Follow Keith on all social media platforms: FB:&amp;amp;nbsp;https://www.facebook.com/realkeithreza IG:https://www.instagram.com/keithreza&amp;amp;nbsp; ALT IG:https://www.instagram.com/duhkeithreza&amp;amp;nbsp; X:https://www.twitter.com/keithreza&amp;amp;nbsp; TT:https://www.tiktok.com/keithreza&amp;amp;nbsp; Book Keith on cameo at www.cameo.com/keithreza Check out my website for dates at https://www.keithreza.com/&amp;amp;nbsp; Subscribe - Rate &amp;amp;amp; Review on Apple Podcasts - Tell a friend :) Be a Rifter! &amp;amp;nbsp; #RezaRifts #KeithReza #Hobart #IAmRyan #ComedyPodcast #FilmmakingPodcast #Hollywood #Acting #Screenwriting #SoundDesign #IndependentFilm #MoviePodcast </description>
