Is Kurt Russell the only one....


who acted with Elvis, played Elvis and played an Elvis-impersonator?

I believe you are correct, he made his acting debut as a child in the Elvis Presley movie It happened at the World's Fair where he kicked the real Elvis Presley in the shins, and had a couple of lines, he does it twice the first time Elvis Presley's character does pay him to. He played him in the 1979 tv movie, and if I am remembering correctly played him in a short part in Forrest Gump, and in this movie he played a fake Elvis Presley impersonator where a real one would do it for a living and wherever they can get a gig at.
