American parents will often tell their children that with hard
work, they can grow up to be President of the United States. Steve
Bridges never doubted his father’s words, but he did start to
mimic
his father’s words. From a very early age, Bridges has entertained
family and friends with hilarious impressions of anyone within
earshot. Renditions of Larry, Moe, and Curly would often turn Sunday
drives into hilarious family romps.
Bridges’ family eventually settled in California, where he grew up
honing his performance skills. He obtained extensive acting and
voice-over coaching in Los Angeles, even spending time with the
notorious
Groundlings
improvisation troupe.
Bridges’ developed
a repertoire of over 200 impressions, including TV characters Barney
Fife and Homer Simpson, broadcasters Tom Brokaw, Paul Harvey and
Rush Limbaugh; but his chilling impressions of political leaders
Bill Clinton and Al Gore rapidly established him as a premiere vocal
impressionist.
Applying “executive” skills and
vision, in 2002, Bridges appointed a “creative cabinet” that has
changed the world of comedy. He engaged the Academy Award-winning
prosthetic make-up artist, Kevin Haney (Driving
Miss Daisy),
and the best comedy writers in Los Angeles to create the formula for
a perfect “G.W.”
The uncanny results now appear
regularly on
The Tonight Show
with Jay Leno
(NBC) and have been featured on
Inside Politics
(CNN),
The Early Show
(CBS),
Good Morning
America (ABC),
Hannity
and Colmes (FOX),
and The
Jeff Foxworthy Roast
(COMEDY CENTRAL). Bridges’ impression of President George W. Bush is
a hilarious, bipartisan comedy performance that will entertain any
crowd. Staying above the political fray, BRIDGES elicits
unparalleled raves from both parties. Whether you cite the
“Hollywood Elite” or the Oval Office, everyone knows the material is
refreshing, topical, and funny to the right and left.
Bridges' global
success has led to a myriad of projects, including full prosthetic
performances as John Kerry and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Seeing that
politics is an ever-changing world, his team of talent is already
preparing for the 2008 campaign, creating their own President Bill
(and Hillary!) Clinton for another pork barrel of fun.
Bridges humbly admits that he could
never be the
real
commander-in-chief… but if you listen to the White House staff and
America’s comedy pollsters, the votes are in. Steve Bridges is the
undisputed "leader of the free world" of “American Political
Impressionists”.
