Introduction to Michael Judson Berry

Michael Judson Berry is an actor and comedian known for his spot-on impressions of pop culture characters. He is originally from Texas but now resides in Los Angeles. Berry has built a large following on social media and YouTube for his impersonations.

One of his most popular impersonations is of Moira Rose, Catherine O'Hara's iconic character on the comedy series Schitt's Creek. His mannerisms and voice as Moira are so accurate, it's hard to believe it's not actually Catherine O'Hara!

Origin of Moira Rose Impression

Berry first started impersonating Moira Rose during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. He was looking for fun distractions and found joy in channeling Moira's dramatic personality. What began as a silly quarantine activity turned into a refined impression with costumes and props.

In interviews, Berry explained how he studied Moira's unique voice, vernacular, and physicality for hours to perfect the impersonation. The hard work paid off based on fans' ecstatic reactions to his videos as Moira.

Performing as Moira on Amber Live

In 2022, Berry brought his Moira Rose impersonation to Amber Live, a new interactive streaming platform. He appears weekly as Moira on the show QuaranTea Time with Michael Judson Berry.

During the show, Berry fully embodies Moira and interacts with guests as the Schitt's Creek character. Fans find Moira's absurdist commentary and contagious energy hilarious. Quotes like "Simply the best!," "I'm having a banana panic," and "Ew, David!" have become signature Moira lines.

Future Plans for the Character

The positive response has motivated Berry to expand Moira Rose into a full drag persona. He plans to perform shows around the country as Moira for live audiences. Berry also wants to create original comedic content featuring Moira for his YouTube channel.

Berry's impression has introduced Moira Rose to new audiences and given Schitt's Creek fans more of the character they love. It will be exciting to see how he continues developing Moira's story in his future work.
