The Impressionists
“I did Al Pacino in my first show, but I hadn’t really done impressions before SNL. In my audition I did Vinny Vedecci, the Italian talk show guy, doing his own impressions. I also did Vincent Price and James Mason," says Bill Hader (left). "They called me before I got the job to say they also wanted to see a political impression, but it couldn’t be George Bush, who was president at the time. I thought, I’ll just do a British accent and say I’m Tony Blair. Usually the auditions are totally silent, but when I did Vinny Vedecci, I heard Tina Fey go ‘Haha!’ ”
