There was a time, back in the day, when your knowledge of Kiss determined your social standing on the playground. When I was twelve years old I could name every Kiss album and which band members played on those albums. Noogie free recess periods lay in the balance of this knowledge. The guys in the clip have taken their devotion to that next level. We have an exclusive clip to share with you from the celebrity impersonator documentary Just About Famous.

[Brightcove "4105174249001" "" "" "auto"] From Lady Gaga to Britney Spears to the king of celebrity impersonators, Elvis Presley, trying to earning a buck by posing as your famous lookalike takes pluck and luck. (Few among us are blessed with Hugh Hefner's chin.) The new documentary Just About Famous shines a spotlight on the subculture of ordinary people who impersonate celebrities including Oprah Winfrey, President Barack Obama and, yes, Elvis. "Being around the impersonators is a trip, because you start to feel the eyes peering over, and then at a certain point someone asks them, 'Are you ... ?'

Just About Famous
Directed By Matt Mamula and Jason Kovacsev
USA, 2010
In the opening scene of the short doc “Just About Famous,” a man tells the story of being mistaken for Robert Deniro while trying to enjoy his breakfast in a local diner.
