Frank Pisani hasn't been himself lately. That's because the Lincolnwood resident is having so much fun being other people, like Jimmy Durante, Liberace and George Burns. Doing impressions is nothing new for Pisani, who began wowing his classmates when he was in elementary school. "I always loved to go to the movies and watch a movie and come out singing or doing impressions," Pisani recalls.

But, unlike many kids who master a couple of voices and then go on to something else, Pisani has made a career of doing impressions. He entertains on the corporate party circuit with his "Ultimate One Man Show" and a Las Vegas-style review featuring Solid Gold dancers.

In 1990, following an audition in San Francisco, Pisani was selected to play Tony Bennett in a Rick Springfield movie, "Hard to Hold," in which he sang "San Francisco."  For about 10 years, Pisani supplemented his earnings as a performer by teaching; much of that time in the fifth grade at the Eugene Field School in Chicago's Rogers Park area. He quit teaching for a simple reason: "There just wasn't enough applause."

Frank Pisani does about 35 voices in all, but concentrates on about a dozen, with his favorites being Burns, Durante and Liberace. He admits laughingly that when he is learning a new character, "Sometimes I'll do one voice and another voice will come out."
