“
Will the real Bill Clinton please stand up?”
That’s what you would
say if President Clinton and this Bill
impersonator sat in the same
room together. He is a comedian and actor
whose appearance is so authentic
that when the real president speaks on
television, his two year old son
says “Daddy!”
A former real estate agent from Florida, he
recalls, “Not a day would go by
when someone wouldn’t come up to me and ask
if I’m Bill Clinton, or tell
me how much I look like the president.” He
found all this amusing, considering
that it all started as a big joke around the office
about the time of the
presidential election. “Every day, when I would
return to my office, there
would be another picture of Bill Clinton on my
desk... so I decided not to
let the opportunity pass me by.”
He now pursues the role of Bill Clinton and Mr.
President on a full time
basis for television, film and special events. To
prepare, he wets his hair,
applies a grey mousse, and then blows it dry
using white hair spray for highlights.
The final look is extremely believable, but it
doesn’t stop there.
He is accompanied by four or five people as
Secret Service agents, complete
with earpieces and sunglasses, and occasionally
has a limousine decked out
with American flags with the stereo blasting Hail
to the Chief.
The likeness to Bill Clinton as Mr. President has
garnered him national
recognition on such shows as The Tonight Show,
Entertainment Tonight,
CBS Morning News, CNN, Larry King Live and
Dateline NBC. He has also been
a celebrity guest on television shows from Japan
to Germany. He has even
learned to play the saxophone.
His greatest satisfaction came at a political rally
where Bill Clinton was
running late. Hillary Clinton was sent to greet
the crowd; as she walked five
feet in front of him, the first lady did a HARD
double-take. Later, one of the
president’s campaign workers came up and
shook his hand, saying,
“I just had to meet the CLINTON CLONE.”
His future prospects involve greater national
exposure. He has appeared
dozens of times on The Tonight Show, in the film
Naked Gun 33-1/3, and
featured in the movie Contact, with Jodie Foster
and Matt McConaughey.
One should expect to see more of him in the
future. In fact, the next time you
see Bill Clinton on television, in the newspaper,
or at your local McDonald’s,
you may want to take a closer look. It just might
be "HIM"
