Dwayne has been an ardent Muhammad Ali fan since
he was old enough to talk. His father was a huge boxing fan and
made watching Ali's fights a family affair. To everyone's
surprise, Dwayne started gradually looking more and more like
the champ after he graduated from college and started to mature -
basically he gained a little weight.
Dwayne has
been impersonating Ali informally for friends and family over 10
years. He started pursuing professional engagements in late 2002
due to continual prodding by friends, relatives and a multitude
of "strangers."
Dwayne has
quickly established himself as the top Muhammad Ali look-alike
in the world.
Muhammad
Ali was the epitome of showmanship and his interaction with
people was paramount. Dwayne captures the essence of the champ
with his phenomenal likeness and continual talking - spouting
poetry and by making everyone he encounters feel a part of the
show. Dwayne's portrayal of "the greatest athlete of the
century" has been achieved from working all kinds of venues,
outdoor events, corporate events and a TV commercial.
During his
young but fast track into a celebrity impersonator/ look-alike
career, Dwayne has worked with several large corporations,
including a very large national provider of wireless
communications (Can you hear me now?), one of the largest hedge
fund firms in the world, and a pharmaceutical company credited
with creating insulin for diabetics.
Dwayne's
striking resemblance to the "champ" allows him to get into
character by simply changing his voice.
