A talented impressionist, Dean Edwards was a cast member from 2001 to 2003. He was known for his wide range of uncanny celebrity voices, including a spot-on Denzel Washington, Eddie Murphy, and Michael Jackson. His ability to mimic not just the voice but the physical mannerisms of his subjects was remarkable. Despite his talent, he struggled to find a breakout original character. After his time on the show, Edwards continued to work as a stand-up comedian, and as a voice actor in animation.
