In the cutthroat world of Hollywoof, it’s tough to land a breakout role. There are so many pups out there doing the same tricks — shake, roll over, sit, heel, speak — that it’s nearly impossible to find something that’ll make you really stand out.

But this dog knows — and has — what it takes:

Brava!

Very convincing! She really pulled a whole range of emotions out of me, from shock, to awe, to empathy, to amazement…this pup’s going places. That’s for sure! Watch out, Hollywoof.

Everyone knows that dogs are capable of doing some pretty impressive tricks. But typically, when we think of an animal playing dead, a possum comes to mind. They’re so adept at it that their name has become synonymous with “playing dead.”

But this dog can outshine almost any possum when it comes to its namesake talent. Watch this dramatic actor nail his scene almost every single time.

Someone get this doggy an agent! He needs to be in Hollywood ASAP. I’d rather watch a movie starring a dog than most of the actors in L.A. anyway. This guy is much cuter and way more entertaining.
