Celebrity impersonators are entertainers who look similar to celebrities and dress in such a way as to imitate them.
Impersonators are known as look-alikes, impressionist, imitators and tribute artists. The interest may have originated with the need or desire to see a celebrity who has died.[citation needed] One of the most prominent examples of this phenomenon is the case of Elvis Presley. There are claimed to be more Elvis impersonators and tribute artists in the world than for any other celebrity.[citation needed] Some figures state that there are 30,000 Elvis impersonators in the world today.[citation needed] while others suggest there are only about 500 Elvis impersonators in the world.[1]
Edward Moss has appeared in movies and sitcoms, impersonating Michael Jackson.[2]
