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.
