This is the year comedian Jay Pharoah will show us all of the sides of his artistry, he said on “Salon Talks.” The master celebrity impressionist and former “SNL” cast member talks about starring in the Neil Bogart biopic, “Spinning Gold,” and why his transition into more dramatic acting roles is important to him. Pharaoh talks about taking inspiration from comedians who made dramatic turns, including Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy and Robin Williams. "If you're good at making somebody laugh, you can make somebody cry too," he said. And don’t miss Pharaoh doing his best impressions of Kanye West, Eddie Murphy and President Obama.
