I used to think I did a good Michael Caine, but I think how it sounds to me vs other people is a big difference.

I keep doing William Shatner lately for some reason. lol. I don't know if I'll ever be as good as Kevin Pollak though.  |

I can do a great impression of the Clergyman in The Princess Bride during the marriage ceremony.

Yeah, I never know how one of my impressions really sounds until I hear it myself. I think my Jimmy Stewart is entertaining. My Heath Ledger Joker apparently not.

Arnold Schwarzenegger
Sean Connery
Dame Maggie Smith
I find myself talking a lot like a 1930's hoodlum lately, I'm gonna go ahead and blame it on TOO much TCM.

Hm. Not sure how good they are—some, I’m sure, are better than others—but I’ve done impressions of…
Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant (which I continually have to stop from turning into Tony Curtis’s Cary Grant impression in Some Like It Hot), W.C. Fields, Johnny Carson (took ages to get this one right), Boris Karloff, Béla Lugosi, William Powell, Humphrey Bogart, Alastair Sim, Ernest Thesiger, Warner Oland and Sidney Toler as Charlie Chan, Edward G. Robinson, Jimmy Cagney, Sean Connery, Michael Caine, Gregory Peck, William Shatner, James Mason, Charles Laughton, Peter Falk, Charlton Heston, Orson Welles, Vincent Price, Alfred Hitchcock, Ronald Reagan, Garrison Keillor, Walter Brennan, Peter Lorre, Bing Crosby, Peter Sellers as Insp. Clouseau, Peter Cushing, Walter Matthau, Lionel Barrymore, Maurice Chevalier, John Wayne, Anthony Perkins, Anthony Hopkins, Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Jeremy Brett, Frank Langella, Christopher Lee, Barry Fitzgerald, Rod Serling, Bob Bailey (“Johnny Dollar”), Oliver Hardy, Stan Laurel, and probably a few others.
I know those seem like a lot, but I love voices, accents, dialects, etc., and have long made an amateur study of them. I made a comedic western, several years back, in which I spoke like the Duke the whole time; I also had a professor in college who adored my Sean Connery and hated my Peter Falk, when I thought the latter better than the former!

My Michael Caine is pretty good, but only in the roles where he was a bit older. I speak to my dog in this voice on the regular. My wife hates it, but admits it's pretty good. My most dead on is probably Owen Wilson. I'll give myself credit for a good Danny DeVito once in a while. Nalkarj I too am a mimic. My Rod Serling is pretty dead on (was better when I smoked though...maybe just in my mind). Your list and mine have a lot of overlap. I've been known to play the piano and sing like Garrison Keillor in the perfect combination of me being drunk and people around knowing who he is. Someone I wish I could do is Sam Elliot. My voice is pretty low, but I can't seem to pull it off. |

Andy Serkis as Gollum saying "My PRECIOUS!!!!".
I know he says it a LOT in the LOTR movies, but specifically this scene is the one I think I can do a somewhat 'good' impression of:
And in recent memory I've randomly been doing an impression of the guy who tells Homer, "Duhhhh, stay outta Riverdale!" in The Simpsons...though that's not really an 'actor'.
And that's about the extent of my 'doing impressions' ability.
