Paying tribute to celebrities is something that professional lookalikes and tribute artists, also called impersonators, do, and do well. 

Two of these artists are men who impersonate the real actors - Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan, also known as John Allen and Glenn Reichle.

According to a Sean Connery lookalike, John Allen:

I have had the pleasure of working with 00-Glenn (Pierce Brosnan) on a dozen or more events featuring the James Bond theme."

Allen says that both Bonds have worked several very high end events such as one for 5000 Veterinarians at Gaylord Palms, two charity events for The Hibiscus children charity and another in California at The St Regis for the Callahan and Blaine Law firm.

Mr Callahan had a birthday party with a James Bond theme, and of course who better to help entertain than lookalikes Sean Connery and  Pierce Brosnan.

Another exciting party, with the Bond theme, was for golfer Tiger Woods at Illesworth Country Club kicking off The Tavistock cup golf event in Orlando, Florida.

We have always had a great time with great reviews coming back from the very pleased clients. Also, for the 2009 New Years Eve, we went to Washington, DC for 5000 guests of Euronet events.  One unusual advertising plus for the clients of events using Glenn and I is that we are of the very few elite impersonators to have had the honor of working along side the actor they impersonate." - John Allen
