“I find it slightly incredulous that people do come up to me with such reverence, with such respect, with such awe.”
He says it took time to perfect the way President Obama speaks. He also uses makeup to help him look more like the president. This includes, darkening his eyebrows, deepening his lip color, and adding a mole.
Besides facial similarities, Larry Graves says he and the president have other things in common.
“We’re about the same size, body size. We’re both left-handed. We both like basketball.”
He has yet to meet the president, but hopes to one day. And he would like to face him in a game of pick-up basketball.
“I don’t think that Obama could beat me in a game of basketball.”
When he is not playing president, Larry Graves works as a substitute teacher in Gaithersburg, Maryland. His fifth grade students watched a video of his performance. At first they thought they were watching the president.
“It looked like our gym teacher but it was really hard to tell.
“It looked just like Obama. It feels like I’m getting taught by a famous gym teacher.”
The students say eventually Larry Graves’ voice gave him away.
Vince Brennan of Vermont was among the delegates at the Environmental Information Association meeting. He enjoyed having the President Obama look-alike stop by.
