"President Barack Obama" (Photo/courtesy)
United States' President Barack Obama is not the only well recognized person, otherwise known as a 'celeb,' who just happens to have people out there looking like him and making a living at it to boot! There are real life professional lookalikes of the president - let's meet a few of them...
Like all celebrity lookalikes, if these 'Obamas' are good enough, they might just keep busy, full time, as the 'president' for the next three+ to eight years! Ron Butler and Michael Bryant are two professional lookalikes, not living in the White House, but they do not need to. They are popular wherever they go and whatever house they are invited to ~ that includes conventions just for lookalikes.
One such Obama lookalike is that of Ron Butler. He has appeared on national television (CNN, The Daily Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live), commercials (Kia, Honda Toyota), and live corporate events. He is a seasoned actor, improv performer, and sketch writer, and currently stars on the hit Nickelodeon sitcom "True Jackson, V.P.".
Another Obama lookalike is Michael Bryant. Bryant, aka “Barack-alike,” is a near mirror image or dead ringer of President Barack Obama. Michael has appeared on CBS News San Francisco, Fox TV Orlando Morning Show, The Travel Channel's Extreme Conventions, ESPN with Kenny Mayne, The CW-31 Sacramento Morning Show and more.
A third Obama impersonator is out of Indonesia. His real life name is Ilham Anas, and due to Obama’s popularity spreading around the world he is also recognized there as well.
Iman Crossan is yet another 'Obama." He is also an impressionist who has become a huge hit on YouTube with his Barack Obama impersonations. His success has even landed him a commercial with Sanyo.
Randall West and Reggie Brown as Barack Obama(s)!
The real life president's family, wife, Michelle, (lookalike Vernetta Jenkins), and even their daughters, have been "duplicated" so to speak by lookalikes too. More to follow on the Obama family - lookalike one that is!
Conventions where such lookalikes can be found are: International Celebrity Images, Sunburst Celebrity Lookalike Convention ~ if anyone was missed leave a comment!
