Reggie Brown          

Comedic Portrayal of U.S. President Barack Obama

Reggie Brown was born in a working-class neighborhood on the south side of Chicago. After attending the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, where he pursued a degree in advertising, Reggie moved back to Chicago and honed his skills in acting and voiceover techniques at the Acting Studios Chicago.

In September 2008, Reggie took home a Chicago/Midwest Emmy for Outstanding Achievement in Alternative Media New Media Interactivity as a contributing member of the NBC 5 Street Team.

Even before Barack Obama announced his bid to become a state senator, people began to approach Reggie, telling him he looked uncannily like "Professor Obama." On November 4, 2008, the course of Reggie's life and career changed forever. Upon hearing the news that Obama had won, he grabbed his megaphone and headed to Grant Park for the President's acceptance speech. Perching high on top of an iconic statue with his megaphone in hand, Reggie began to perform his impression to a sea of people and the rest as they say, is history.

Performing over 50 vocal and singing impressions, Reggie Btown has become known as one of the most successful impersonators the world has ever known and he's only just begun. His last YouTube video alone racked up more than 60,000,000 views.
