Danny Gans, "The Man of Many Voices" was reported dead early this morning. A 911 call came in saying the 11-time Las Vegas Entertainer of the Year was having difficulty breathing. The actual cause of death remains unknown at this time.
Before becoming a performer, Danny Gans had a promising career ahead of him in baseball, until it was cut short by an injury.
After that he started perfecting his routine in which he channels the voices of many different singers. Comedy and other celebrity impressions were also a part of his record breaking act.
He has had a few TV roles. Most notably playing Dean Martin in the TV biopic Sinatra, and a 12 episode run as Roger on Silk Stalkings.
As of now, his official website makes no mention of his passing. However, condolences are being sent to the one-of-a-kind, endearing entertainer who will always be known as Danny Gans.
