Stephen Sorrentino
Stephen Sorrentino has been doing impressions since the age of 5. It started with family members like funny aunts and uncles and then moved to TV personalities and movie stars. By the sixth grade he was doing “The Tonight Shows” in which a friend would do Johnny Carson and young Stephen would portray all the guest stars of the week. These would include Peter Falk, Jerry Lewis, Alfred Hitchcock, Ed Sullivan, Jimmy Stewartand JackieGleason to name just a few.
During his high school years, his goals would settle between music and theater. Being the son of a professional singer (mother) and singer/sax player(father), Stephen had learned to play piano, sax, flute and guitar, which would come in handy in his diverse career.
During high school and college, Stephen acted and sang in an array of classic musicals as well as dramas. At this time, Stephen began musical composition and eventually landed a publishing deal with Paramount Pictures and on to two recording contract as a pop singer/song writer. It was at Paramount that Stephen realized that his cousin Bruce in New Jersey whom he had met a few times had actually become The Boss himself, Bruce Springsteen. Paramount thought that as a singer/song writer, Stephen would be a shoe-in.
After recording contracts and subsequent record releases, Stephen formed a tribute act and eventually was discovered by “Legends in Concert,” which made him the premiere Elton John impersonator in Las Vegas, for Walt Disney Corp and eventually the world.
Stephen has gone on to star in a number of award-winning independent films for Showtime, two sitcoms for FOX and NBCas well as appearances on America’s Most Wanted, 7 Days and the Jimmy Kimmel Show. With appearances on Hollywood Squares, dozens of radio and television talk shows, more than 50 television commercials and being known as a master of quick wit and improve, Stephen has realized his dream of appearing in his own show Voices in my head. The show has toured across the United States as well as enjoyed successful runs at the Riviera Hotel, Tropicana and HiltonHotels where he received rave reviews for his 21-cast member “big production show.”
