Edward Moss

Edward Moss (born July 11, 1977), occasionally known as Eddie Moss, is an American actor, dancer, comedian, and Michael Jackson impersonator who has portrayed Jackson in TV and in films.

Moss used to be an employee of McDonald's in the mid-1990s, which was where his co-workers kept telling him that he resembled pop singer Michael Jackson. Moss entered a company talent contest and won; over time Moss decided to focus on doing Jackson exclusively for a living.

Early life Moss was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, on July 11, 1977. While an employee at McDonald's in the early 1990s, his co-workers took notice of his resemblance to pop singer Michael Jackson.

A number of Jackson's fans reportedly criticised Moss and his performances as making fun of the singer. Moss denies suggestions that he exploits and portrays Jackson in a negative manner.
