Amazing Arizonans: Frank Caliendo discusses his creative process

PHOENIX — I’ve been fortunate to meet many talented people. One of those people is Frank Caliendo.

Frank is not only the best in the business as an impersonator, he is also a brilliant joke writer. He makes both look very easy.

I loved talking with him about the creative process. For someone that is so well known and talented, he is soft spoken and humble. Hearing him do such familiar voices is incredible. But sitting next to him and watching him become the person he is impersonating is where you get to see just how talented he is.

I had such a great time talking with him and I hope you enjoy the conversation.
