Mirror Images Co., is the highly successful Look-Alike agency based in Los Angeles, San Francisco California, and Las Vegas Nevada is headed by company President Dorothy Findlater, and boasts over 1,500 actors (Look-Alikes, Impersonators, Tribute Artist, Photo Doubles, and hard to find Look-Alikes ) across the United States as well as abroad. Established since 1996, Mirror Images Co. came about through its founder, Dorothy Findlater, realizing a dire lack of quality Look-Alikes within the entertainment industry (a realization that the demand was continuing to increase). As a result, she set out to establish the most highly regarded agency of its kind. There came this phenomenon, possibly though the impact of mass media of a shift in how Look-Alikes were perceived. If they were good, there was a connection made between them, the audience, and vice-versa. It was as if the experience of getting close to celebrities was guaranteed a positive one; people could interact with their idols and completely absorb themselves in the illusion,” says Findlater. With this in mind, Findlater set out to create an agency that would become well known for raising standards within the industry and a stable of accomplished actors who were both authentic in their appearance and professional in their performance. Her recipe paid off. Today, her company literally reaches all four corners of the globe. Whether it is Elvis Presley featured in a Bose commercial to singing and dancing with Lana Del Rey or President Obama and Mitt Romney on the front page of The Atlantic, or Jay Z’s double working on Mr. Z’s latest music video. Mirror Images Co. is behind the best Look-Alikes in the business. As an agency, the company continues to pride itself on presenting its clients in the most professional light possible. “In a profession that is clearly maturing and gradually winning the status it deserves, these specific actors need protection,” Findlater comments. “Sadly, Look-Alikes (the vast majority of which are trained professional actors and actresses) do not receive the treatment they deserve. As far as I am concerned, Findlater is out to change that and set a new industry standard. ”Supplying professional actors and actresses to many facets of the entertainment business, the company’s talent appears in an abundance of commercials across the world advertising well-known consumer brands (whether on camera or behind the microphone). In film, clients appear as doubles; in flashback scenes depicting well-known Hollywood stars as well as TV’s political satire programming, biographies, and comedy sketches. Many leading corporations hire for corporate events throughout the US. Findlater adds that each entertainer (beyond being a Look-Alike) is required to “be a performer and adopt the appropriate persona, impersonate, ad-lib, and present themselves as professional, consummate actors. While the Royal Family affectionately known as “The Firm” Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, Prince William, & The Duchess of York Kate Middleton, Prince Harry, Camellia Park Bowels and now they have the latest edition for the Royal family, baby George. Perhaps in a couple of years there will be a demand for the growing Prince appearance. Findlater credits a significant part of the historic success of her company to her website, mirrorimagesco.com, where prospective Look-Alikes from across the US (as well as Europe and Asia) seek Mirror Images Co. out as a significant bridge between their talents and the building of a successful career. She requests an initial DVD, audition and resume of each potential client. Findlater also acknowledges the universal appeal that Look-Alikes continue to have by saying “People still crave the positive opportunity to interact with their idols.”
