A lifelong Elvis fan decided he wanted to do more than listen to his favorite tracks - he wanted to become the man behind the music. So, Eugene O’Neill, at that time a Butte resident, decided to create arrangements of the Elvis music he grew up enjoying. While dressing up and entertaining at rest homes, assisted living centers and private parties, O’Neill started to realize he wanted to take his passion for Elvis acting - yes, acting, because O’Neill stresses he is not an impersonator - to the next level.
