Lico Reyes - Entertainer

Entertainer

Reyes claims to have done priest comedy long before a character known as Father Guido Sarducci appeared on NBC's Saturday Night Live television show. His version is called "Father Vito".

While Lico Reyes was campaigning for the US Congress in Gainesville, Texas, the local paper noted that he began his campaign stop with a prayer and ended with a song:

Linda Goetsch of Gainesville said she was once a third party voter, having voted for Ralph Nader in the 2000 election, but has voted Democratic this year because she said third party candidates tend to spoil major party elections, though they do "force centrist candidates to address issues. He (Reyes) certainly represents many of the issues that I believe in," she said. To close, Reyes said he wanted to end the meeting as an old-fashioned church revival meeting. He passed out copies of song he and his campaign treasurer Andrea Elliott co-authored titled "Bye Bye Bush" to the tune of "Bye Bye Love" made popular by the Everly Brothers.

Reyes also appeared in the Orion film Pancho Barnes shown on the ABC-TV network; in the Universal movie Problem Child and in the television show Walker, Texas Ranger. He has also appeared in many industrial films, television commercials and stage productions.

Famous quotes containing the word entertainer:

    I wish not to be given a title or an appointed position. I can and will do more good if I were made a Federal Agent at Large, and I will help best by doing it my way through my communications with people of all ages. First and Foremost I am an entertainer but all I need is the Federal Credentials.
    Elvis Presley (1935–1977)
