He is an incredible impressionist, with an arsenal of original characters and over 100 spot-on celebrity impressions including: Dustin Hoffman, Robert Downey Jr, David Letterman, Dr. Phil, Gary Busey, and more. Even though his hilarious and pointed impressions were a frequent staple on SNL, his most popular and well-remembered character was his original, “Drunk Girl.”
