John Roarke (born February 29, 1952) is an American celebrity impressionist and actor. His ability to morph into a myriad of public figures prompted US Magazine to salute him as “the new man of 1000 faces”. His first big break came when he, along with Michael Richards was chosen to join the cast of Fridays as the show’s resident impressionist. Roarke went on to many other television appearances including The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Evening at the Improv, Columbo, and Out of This World (NBC). On the big screen he featured in Naked Gun 2 ½, Courage Under Fire, and Silence of the Hams.
