Spokane Elvis Impersonator Sings On

I remember the first time I encountered Ben Klein. It was back in 2003, when I was the calendar editor here at The Inlander . He was a baby-faced 20-year-old who looked like he’d been forced into a funny Elvis costume and cajoled into doing a family variety show. Every now and then, an event featuring Ben “Preslee” Klein would come across my desk. I’d snicker every time. So I was surprised when I returned to the paper in 2009 that Klein was still performing as Elvis around town. More than ever, I wondered: what motivates someone to dress up like someone else, act like someone else, sing like someone else. Is impersonation (or as I learned while reporting this story, tributing) the ultimate form of fandom? Or is it just really weird?/ Leah Sottile , Inlander. More here. (Photo courtesy Inlander)

Question: If you had the talent to impersonate an entertainment, whom would it be?
