I just saw this really fun documentary off Showtime last night about a man who realizes he has a striking resemblance to another guy that just happens to be running for the most powerful office in the world- the future president of the USA- Barack Obama! He then decides to cash in on this resemblance, get an agent, and hit the road doing events getting paid!
At first, I didn't think he looked that much like Obama, but then later on with the suit on, and the facial hair gone, there were times when he is the spitting image! He joined some other presidential look-alike hopefuls on the road. I definitely did not think the Romney lookalike was very good. Now the Clinton one was already a quasi-celebrity- had showed up on like The Tonight Show and other shows many times. You'll probably recognize him. The Donald Trump one was pretty bad. It was funny- they had a whole group of impersonators together who all got to meet the Dalai Lama, and the Nelson Mandela impersonator actually looked more like Morgan Freeman than the real Mandela! LOL
This doc. was also interesting how this guy, while transforming himself into Obama, actually starts to think more about world issues, and ultimately becomes more politically active in the process. I would definitely give this movie a watch when you get a chance! Thumbs up!
