One of the weirdest things to me about The Room is that there's a specific actually good inspiration in another movie that Wiseau is basing his performance off of and once you know what it is you can ABSOLUTELY hear it

Quinn Angstrom
The Room - "Oh Hi Mark" (Blu Ray) [1080p]
he's still doing terrible and not touching anything resembling human speech at any point but like

Quinn Angstrom
Rebel Without a Cause (1955) - Stand Up For Me! Scen...
this is what he's GOING for

Quinn Angstrom
The Room- You are tearing me apart- Full Scene
better scene for comparison

According to the Disaster Artist (book version) Wiseau had a weird fixation on James Dean.

you could put "You're tearing me apart, Lisa" into Rebel Without a Cause and James Dean would actually make it work
