STEPHEN SORRENTINO
Stephen Sorrentino has been doing impressions since the age of 5. It started with family members like funny aunts and uncles and then moved to TV personalities and movie stars.
I especially loved and emulated the characters in the “Our Gang” Hal Roach series.
Stephen Sorrentino was also was known by 9 years old to dress up and impersonate such golden age celebrities as Charlie Chaplin, Groucho or Harpo Marx and either Stan Laurel or Oliver Hardy as well as such little known stars as Ben Turpin (Mack Sennett Star), he loved the classics, which would prove invaluable later in his career as a headliner.
By the 6th Grade Stephen Sorrentino was doing “Tonight Shows” in which a friend would do Johnny Carson and young Stephen would portray all the guest stars of the week. These would include Peter Falk, Jerry Lewis, Alfred Hitchcock, Ed Sullivan, Jimmy Stewart, Jackie Gleason to name just a few.
During his high school years, Stephen Sorrentino’S goals would settle between music and theatre. Being the son of a professional singer (mother) and singer/sax player (father), Stephen had learned to play Piano, Sax, Flute and Guitar, which would come in handy in his diverse career.
During high school and college, Stephen Sorrentino performed, both singing and acting, in an array of classic musicals as well as drama’s.
At this time Stephen Sorrentino began musical composition and eventually landed a publishing deal with Paramount Pictures and on to 2 recording contracts as a pop singer/ songwriter.
A few years after, Stephen Sorrentino formed a tribute act and eventually became the #1 impersonator of Superstar rocker “Elton John”, worldwide.
The show toured 18 countries and 37 states and came complete with special effect piano and incredible, outlandish costumes, and of course an array of flamboyant glasses.
Stephen Sorrentino went on to perform for such companies as Disney, Dick Clark and Legends in Concert, even doing Elton John’s Voice for a Fox Television sitcom..
Noticed on stage in 1998 by writer/ director Sara Moore, Stephen Sorrentino was cast for his first of 9 film roles, in the cult hit Homo Heights, (a comedy), as a Mafia boss/ drag queen which also stared literary and film icon Quentin Crisp. “I make a frightening woman” laughed Stephen on Sheena Easton’s TV show recently in Las Vegas.
