There's a lot of street performers at Fisherman's Wharf. Usually they are pretty easy to ignore, but this is one we couldn't resist.

This guy sits next to a sign that says "Live Impressions - Shout Out a Star! $1." You have to pick a celebrity off his list, but there were many to choose from. My friend Dave ponied up two dollars and requested Sidney Poitier.

It's a scene from 1963's The Long Ships
(imdb.com/title/tt0057259/).

My friends and I realized when we walked away that none of us had any idea what a good Sidney Poitier impression was like. What do you guys think?

    ...guess i got my answer when next to said tag, today i noticed it said "2"...

    i'd say it's a 3 out of 5 when he's doing it, but he spends so much time not doing the impersonation it's kind of hard to judge.

    3 out of five. He had the intonation but needed some more feeling and expression.
