Америкалық әртіс және импровизатор Пол Боланд

American impressionist

Paul Edward Boland Jr. (born 1960 or 1961 He received a high school diploma in 1978 from Cathedral High School and was a theater major at Holyoke Community College. Theater critic Bill Dorsett wrote in the Daily Breeze, "Boland makes his first entrance and before he can say 'moi' he has the audience in his pocket." The critic Dorsett said that "Boland plays Norman very low key during the opening scenes, but quickly warms up to the level of the rest of the cast. Boland has some of the best comedy business in the show, and most of the time he handles himself very well on stage." Daily Breeze reviewer James Bronson criticized his performance, writing, "Boland is low key in fact, too low key through much of the play. And he doesn't show an inherent comedic sense, which keeps the play flat." Daily Breeze reviewer Bill Dorsett wrote that Boland "proves his versatility in the nerdy role" since within the last year, he "has given memorable performances in The Star Spangled Girl, Camelot and now Lone Star playing three very different characters expertly." Boland hosted a 2.5 hour musical show, "A Tribute to Neil Diamond", in 1988 at Seymour Hamms. Daily Breeze reviewer Shari Okamoto found that "Saturday's show wasn't perfect, but it was a flattering tribute to Diamond and rousing entertainment for people not familiar with his work."

Boland performed an impersonation sketch with Gregg Binkley on an episode of Rick Dees' TV show Into the Night Starring Rick Dees in 1990. While dressed up like Elvis Presley, Boland imitated the voices of Presley, Jim Ignatowski in the TV series Taxi, and Kermit the Frog. The New York Times reviewer John J. O'Connor called Boland's and Binkley's performances the "best bit". Calling Boland an Elvis look alike, The Seattle Timess John Voorhees found that he "proved to be a great impersonator" in his Into the Night Starring Rick Dees appearance. Boland performed for the Apollo Theater Chicago show "Al Anthony's Salute to the Superstars" in 1991. In a positive review, Chicago Tribune theater critic Richard Christiansen wrote that the show was "strictly phony, but at least the phoniness is genuine and unpretentious" and said of Boland's performance, "When Paul Boland, not even looking or particularly singing like Elvis Presley, comes on and does an amiably offhand, what the hell turn as The King, the mature ladies who chat and dance with him no doubt feel they are in the presence of a real rocker." He performed at The Mirage on the Las Vegas Strip around 1992. Boland performed song impersonations at a Ray Charles concert in San Diego in 1999. The San Diego Union Tribune music critic Mikel Toombs had a negative review of Boland's work, writing, "Some of Boland's bits had an entertaining familiarity and some didn't, which is death to an impressionist but his lack of imagination showed why he's stuck on TV hosting a recycled game show ("The New Match Game")." In a review of Boland's performance, The Gazette columnist Gus Schrader wrote, "We enjoyed Boland the most. He is a versatile young man you probably will be seeing on TV or maybe already have. He rivaled impressionist Rich Little with his clever lines as he imitated famous people, mostly singers." After Roddy died, Boland auditioned to become announcer, but Rich Fields received the role. George Hamilton called Boland "the very best there is" and Wayne Newton said he is "one of the greatest entertainers I know". Boland performed for a fundraiser at the St. John Fisher Parish School in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, in 2008. The journalist Frank Brown wrote, "He gave a non stop, athletic performance singing in his own voice and accurately imitating more than two dozen of the country's top pop and even country and western singers. He added a repertoire of amusing bits of costume and wigs, one of the funniest of which proved to be Willie Nelson." The duo have been entertainers primarily for the Royal Caribbean Group. Imitating the voices of Louis Armstrong, Ray Romano, Jerry Seinfeld, Jimmy Stewart, Robin Williams, Boland performed "It's a Wonderful World". Ricardos had won the Miss California title in 1988. The couple live in Los Angeles and have a daughter.
