Steve Bridges, 48, a comic actor and impersonator who was best known for his mimicry of President George W. Bush, was found dead Saturday at his home in Los Angeles.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Bridges had recently returned home from China, where he had been performing. He appeared to have died of natural causes, but an autopsy is scheduled. The Los Angeles County coroner's office said foul play was not suspected.
Born in Dallas on May 22, 1963, Bridges was born in Dallas in 1963. He began doing impersonations as a child, starting with the Three Stooges.
Bridges was a regular on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno."
He was invited to the White House to meet President Bush in 2003. According to Bridges, Bush said, "I tell you: You see a videotape where someone looks like you, acts like you, talks like you — that's weird."
Then in 2006 the two performed a comic bit together at the annual White House Correspondents dinner.
