Katelyn Ohashi

I play tons of authority figures, whether it's the dad or the cop or the boss. I think it's a combination of how I look, who I am.

J. K. Simmons

What can we be in life? Few figures in history have answered this question with as much clarity and moral authority as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

When you mimic everyone, sometimes authority figures really don't appreciate it which is not an original story. And pretty much every comedian has some tale of that.
