James Paul Gregory is an American actor. He discovered a love for performing as a young boy, putting on "mini-productions" of "Peter Pan" and "The Princess Bride" for his family. As a teenager he found music to be a great outlet for expressing himself and took up guitar and singing. When he watched Robert De Niro's Academy Award-winning performance in Martin Scorsese's "Raging Bull", he knew he wanted to be an actor. By taking part in high school, college, and local theater, he eventually moved away from his beloved rock music and found a passion for the sounds of Broadway, making the seemingly unlikely transition from trying to imitate Kurt Cobain to trying to imitate Colm Wilkinson.
Wanted to become an actor after seeing Philip Seymour Hoffman in "Capote" and Robert De Niro in "Raging Bull.".
Found in high school that he had a unique gift for impersonation.
Celebrity impersonations include Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, and Christopher Walken.
