Who is Eric Finch?

Snoop’s lookalike Finch might be a little old as compared to the rap icon but his looks surely make other people stop and notice the uncanny resemblance. Finch has close to 26,000 followers on his Instagram account and his bio tells us he is an actor. It reads, “SAG-AFTRA Actor/Perfomer|Snoop Dogg Body Double|Professional Lookalike|Sound Alike|Tribute Artist| #snooplookalike_official.” Looking at the bio, it seems impersonating Snoop is a full-time job for Finch.

According to the website Culture Trip, Finch grew up in Louisiana and served close to 20 years in the US Navy, out of which 14 years he was at Camp Pendleton located near San Diego. His parents also served in the United States Marine Corps. He currently resides in the Inland Empire of California. In 2019, Finch used to work at a warehouse. And interestingly, he is also friends with lookalikes of Mariah Carey, Vin Diesel and Ed Sheeran. Talking about being in the public eye, he earlier said, “People would just surround us sometimes. It can be very hard and demanding. You’re just like a celebrity, but you don’t get the pay.” He had earlier also expressed his desire to become an actor saying, “I’ll take whatever comes. It’s not about the fame and the fortune. It’s about something I enjoy doing. It’s breathtaking to me. There are no words that can even describe what it feels like to be an entertainer.”

If a report published by Caters News is to be believed, Finch has even managed to make money, all thanks to his exceptional impersonation skills. He apparently once raked in $2,000 for a 15-minute booking. Speaking on being a lookalike, he had said, “I never imagined my life would be like this, I get a chance to know what celebrity life is like.”
