Fans lauded actor Calvin Seabrooks for his impression, from the facial expressions right down to every unique inflection.
Seabrooks said that he has been a fan of Porter since he was 15, citing “Beauty School Dropout” from the 1994 “Grease” revival as his first foray into becoming a fan.
“He has such an incredible, unique, really raspy tone, and there’s just certain things that he does that are just so uniquely Billy Porter,” Seabrooks continued. “He has so many mannerisms and so many inflections.” Once it was announced that Erivo and Grande had been cast in the “Wicked” movie, the actor said he knew he wanted to do something surrounding the news. Inspired by Porter’s own performance in 2021’s “Cinderella” as the Fairy Godmother and Madame Morrible’s evil persona cut from a similar cloth, Seabrooks thought it would be “hilarious” and “incredible” for Porter to play the part.
“It’s just been really cool to see people that he’s touched in his career, obviously myself included,” Seabrooks said. “The incredible things that he’s given to me, just in being able to see an incredible Black, queer, femme performer … he’s such an icon to me.”
