Brent
as George Bush
Brent's uncanny resemblance to President George W. Bush was first recognized
in the mid 90's by some friends in Dallas. Brent began doing the impersonation
as a funny, non-professional imitation for friends and family, and eventually
graduated to Leno's Tonight Show and beyond. Brent brought his act to
national prominence in much the same way President Bush told Sam Donaldson
he pursued the Texas Ranger deal - " Like a pit bull on the pant
leg of opportunity!" Bush impersonations The Missouri native had
been a construction and marketing executive since his graduation from
the University of Missouri in 1971. During this time, Brent was active
in local community theater, as a civic group toastmaster and as a construction
industry business speaker.
A career as a Presidential look-alike followed.bush impersonations Brent's
and the President's lives have had several parallels through the years.
This definitely helps Brent with the understanding of the Bush character
he portrays. For instance, both of them grew up in politically active
families with a strong mother running a household consisting of several
boys and one girl. Baseball was their favorite sport. Both received business
degrees and were more involved with fraternity and campus activities than
they were the books.
After graduation, both pursued business interests similar to their fathers
and joined the Methodist Church. Both married in their thirties, and coincidentally,
they each cut back on their partying in the mid eighties. Both have two
children. Ambos hablan Espanol, no el mejor. Mr. Bush bought the Texas
Rangers and subsequently became Governor of Texas and President of the
United States. Brent became an entertainer and humorous corporate speaker.
