Mr. PresidentSpeaker Information
Steve Bridges is a master impressionist who recently developed an amazingly accurate characterization of President George W. Bush. His "Bush" voice is so good it inspired Academy Award-winning prosthetic makeup artist Kevin Haney ("Driving Miss Daisy") to create a perfect "George W. Bush" appearance to match.
The uncanny result already has been featured on a variety of national stages including "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," Judy Woodruff's "Inside Politics," "Good Morning America," "FOX News with Brit Hume," "Hannity and Colmes," and "The Early Show." "Mr. President" has shared the spotlight with Washington, DC, insiders like political consultant James Carville, former Senator Bill Bradley, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and former CNN Washington Bureau Chief, Frank Sesno.
Bridges' repertoire encompasses over 200 personalities, from broadcasters Tom Brokaw, Paul Harvey and Rush Limbaugh to past presidents and vice presidents such as Bill Clinton and Al Gore to television characters like Barney Fife, Homer Simpson and the ever-popular Mr. Haney from "Green Acres." What makes Bridges such a standout? Not only does he accurately voice these and other characters, but he can switch instantly from one to another, creating actual conversations!
A member of SAG/AFTRA, Bridges' extensive training includes work at the famed Groundlings in Los Angeles, as well as private classes with some of the best comic trainers in the business.
Known for his hilarious, clean routines, Bridges has appeared on many prime time shows including "ER," "The District," and "JAG." His radio credits include guest appearances on KABC and K EARTH 101 (Los Angeles), NBC Mutual Radio (nationwide), and even the venerable BBC.
Testimonials
"We appreciate the way Steve was able to fold in our medical topics into his material so that all in attendance could feel more connected. I believe 'Mr. President' now has a better appreciation for some of the healthcare issues we all face!"
