There are different kinds of impressionists, one that goes for sheer
accuracy and those that go for developing impressions that are good enough to be obvious but are more developed into a character. I think Carvey is more of the latter. Caliendo probably excels at both which makes him the best of this century, IMO.

Like Tina Fey's "I can see Russia from my house!"
A bit of caricature, but you definitely knew who she was talking about.

caricatures of their voices. Kevin Pollack stood in for Jack Nicholson for
extra takes of the 'You Can't handle the truth' speech in A Few Good Men where Col Jessup was not in the shot. Rob Reiner could not tell the difference between the 2 in the editing room ** Edited by HokieDan95 at 2/2/2026, 2:12:50 PM
