Acclaimed Elvis performer, Jack Foltyn, originally played the role of Elvis Presley for Idols of the King author Ronnie Claire Edwards in 2004. He has performed Elvis all over the country and has earned the coveted "Approved by Graceland" seal of approval! Most recently, Jack performed in Christmas In Graceland, which he wrote, directed, and choreographed and Walk A Mile In My Shoes, which he also choreographed and directed.Videos
