Q: Manny, how did this all begin, you as Elvis Presley?

MC: “I unexpectedly was chosen and hand-picked by Priscilla Presley (former wife of Elvis) to be the model in her fragrance ads. Also, I modeled in an award-winning poster as Elvis.

Since then I have been a part of music videos and TV commercials as Elvis. I am more focused now on ‘him’ as a tribute artist. I most recently added ‘singing Elvis’ to my repertoire. Too, ‘Manuelvis’ is my stage name!”

Q: Did you always portray Elvis?

MC: “No, I was and still am a professional dancer and model, plus I portray other celebs as well. I’ve ‘been’ Elvis (50s, 60s and 70s Elvis) for over a decade, but back then I was only ‘the look.’ I have greatly expanded into more of this amazing legend!”

“BEING” ELVIS

Q: How close to detail are you when it comes to “being” Elvis?

MC: “My wardrobe and other details of his look are perfect, as perfect as can be. Readers can view my photos to see what I’m talking about.”

Q: Didn’t I see you in a TV ad recently?

MC: “Yes, you might have. I portrayed Elvis for ‘American Icons’ Macy’s campaign. Plus, earlier this year, myself and a few other ‘Elvis’ tribute artists, shot a jeans commercial in Miami. I happened to be featured (close up) in it too. All we did was walk across the street, in our white Elvis jumpsuits, pass a model wearing the company’s jeans, and then we looked back at her. It was amazing!”

WHAT ELVIS MEANS TO MANNY CASO

Q: What did/does Elvis mean to you?

MC: “Elvis may have left the building, but he will always remain in my life. I like to think, through my portrayal of him, that he’s in others’ lives too, time and time again!”
