Rich Little is an internationally known impersonator and master of mimicry.

Known as the Man of 200 voices, he has appeared on television and stage for more than five decades.

A professed classic movie buff, he's particularly fond of doing Jimmy Stewart, Jack Lemmon, John Wayne and Humphrey Bogart, but Little has also latched on to baby boomer-friendly characters, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stalone, Andy Rooney and Dr. Phil, to name a few.

He has also done impersonations of US Presidents from John F. Kennedy to Donald Trump. His favorite, however, was Ronald Reagan, who became a close friend.

He was born in Ottawa, Canada, but became a US citizen in 2010. At the judge's request, he was sworn in in John Wayne's voice.
