I met Louis Ortiz back in September 2009 in the Upper East Side. He was hired to appear in an Irish Pub. He arrived in a big black rented SUV. Two fake FBI agents opened the door. It was enough to drive people nuts. «Oh my God! it’s Obama» screamed a nurse twitching for a picture. «Can you fix the health care system?» she asked semi-joking. With the suit, the big ears, the American flag pin, the hand-pointing-thing, the swagger, the confidence…it’s easy to be confused. You can read the full blog post right here. He recently caught the attention of a documentarist and they are now making a movie about him, here’s the trailer:

    Hope the guy hits a home run with this caper, but it could prove risky. He obviously won’t be travelling with an Army of security (as Obama does). There’s a ton of whackos out there. Stay safe Louis.
