Character Mannerisms

As I was reading through "The Arrangement," there was this moment where I could vividly imagine Bosie as Cherry Jones (in one of her politician roles)

Here's the moment:
"And, fact is, one usually wants to be on the other side of things." She formed her free hand into a blade and indicated the left hand side of the table. "So how'd a savvy businessman like yourself end up on this end?" She chopped her palm-blade to the right for emphasis.
Here's an example of the role: (staring at 0:47)

So, I present you with an activity of sorts--have you ever had a similar moment, where you envision some Thar character's mannerisms aligning perfectly with those of an actor or character? Can you post the scene and relevant Youtube link to prove it?

Also, if ya wanna participate, do this for a character who does not belong to you. It's more fun (and less creepy) that way.

I can't say that I've ever pinned an action down so clearly. I mean, the odd thoughtful stare/glare happens in too many places.

I want to make a knockoff of Ian Shane's character in Deadwood, and just pour drinks and have people killed while being generally awesome.
