Reginald Dennis Odell II (born 1980) is an American actor, writer and comedic impersonator and look-alike of former U.S. President Barack Obama.

Brown first made international headlines due to the controversy surrounding his performance at the 2011 Republican Leadership Conference,[1] his occasional television appearances, and his activity on YouTube.

On September 9, 2008, Brown won an Emmy for 'Outstanding Achievement for Alternate Media/ New Media Interactivity' for his contributions to the coverage of Looptopia Live as part of the Street Team from the Chicago/Midwest Chapter of The National Academy of Television Arts And Sciences.

[7] Brown subsequently appeared on Stossel for similar mock debates with Governor Gary Johnson[8] and Herman Cain.

[1] Davis told CNN that he ended Brown's performance because the Conference has a "zero tolerance [policy] for racially insensitive jokes.
