General Patton Impersonator
Tim Beasley has performed as an authentic and truly accurate General
Patton look alike and speaker for many formal military bases and patriotic
events as well as having huge troop-loads of fun by spicing up many
“Red White and Blue" sales promotions. As a motivational speaking special
guest, "Patton" is unique as a highly recognized leadership icon, combining
powerful positive thinking with American pride.
Tim has enjoyed portraying General Patton in his very believable impersonation
of “Old Blood and Guts” for a wide variety of national clients, too,
for adding "stars & stripes" attitude to Fortune 500 companies, brand
name products and services and corporations of all manners of business.
Coincidentally and appropriately, Tim is now also the same age, 58,
as General George Patton was during the most famous battles of WWII,
and the same height, weight, features, even the voice! Being a top
historian on General Patton's personal life and military career,
Tim's knowledge and appearance will bring Patton back to life in
startling clarity, able to converse as Patton himself would, with
the most educated of WWII fans and historians. This has moved many
of those elder veterans who actually knew Patton personally to
remark that Tim's "Patton" is an outstanding performance.
His formal appearances include an appearance at General Patton’s
honored West Point Military Academy in New York. As General Patton,
Tim also performed for U.S.O. fundraisers and also acted as guest host
for the tour of historic military homes at the US Army’s Fort Monroe.
Tim has also acted in his General Patton role for 3 TV commercials,
festivals and other civic events.
His biggest event and performance as "Patton" was as the opening entertainer
and speaker for the very prestigious US Army 230th Birthday Ball Celebration
in Washington, DC. He shared stage with Vice President Dick Cheney,
Emmy Award winner Susan Lucci (emcee) , the Army Show, and top brass
of the us Army and Pentagon. The grand event had 1200+ distinguished
guests. For this very high-level national and world-wide event, the
US Army wanted only the best. Recruiting Tim to perform as 'Patton,"
(from all of the professional actors specializing in this portrayal),
the US Army's engagement deemed him the best "Patton" performer in the
world.
A little bit more here about having "Patton" for your fun and exciting
sales and marketing events, awards banquets, motivational meetings etc.
In this delivery, "Patton" adds a multi-megaton blast of lambasting
the companies' competitors. The famous "flag speech" performance is
the center focus, colored with direct-hits on the competition's weaknesses
and teamed up with hilarious and cheer-provoking references to slackers
and other obvious speed-bumps to the clients' forward sales success.....it's
always a winner, and like "Patton" said, "Americans love a winner!

Authentic Look
After quite a few years of searching for the best authentic and actual WWII vintage Army Regulation Officers Tunic Coat (as General Patton wore in several of his historic photographs), Tim is proud to now have in his General Patton's uniform ensemble a museum-quality edition. As the vast majority of those coats were "Medium" in size (36, 38, 40), a size 44 Large (same sizes as General Patton and Tim Beasley) was extremely rare to find. This fine example now completes his uniform in a grand manner!
Authentic WWII Army Regulation Officers Tunic Coat with authentic WWI & WWII medals and Third Army insignia.
Authentic Colt 45 S.A. 1873 "Peacemaker" with El Paso Saddlery holster and US Army gun belt, with helmet , 4 Star General 3rd Army.
