CHRIS FERRETTI - Impersonator, actor, playwright, & VO

Tough Economy but, CHRISTOPHER WALKEN impersonator is 'Walken' to the BANK!!!

“This all started off as a joke,” says actor, writer, and master impressionist Chris Ferretti, “But at this point its completely taken on a life of it’s own.”

Ferretti, residing in Astoria, NY - has been doing impersonations of celebrities all his life. But it was only recently he decided to capitalize on it. Eight months ago, Ferretti decided to put up a job (or a ‘gig’ as its called) on the popular website www.fiverr.com, a popular website where people share things they’re willing to do for $5.

For Ferretti it was a no-brainer.

“I get asked to do my Christopher Walken impersonation all the time. So I said, what the hell and put up a gig saying I would call anybody and say Happy Birthday or whatever you wanted for $5. But like I said…it was a joke. I never thought anything would come of it."

But suddenly, Ferretti found his impersonation in high demand “It’s hilarious. I mean this week alone I got about 25 orders. It’s crazy the response I’ve been getting!  Laughter is the best medicine of all.
