Joey Sagal (born February 12, 1957) is an American actor and screenwriter who has played Elvis Presley and George Clooney in movies and on television. He is the son of film director Boris Sagal.

Joey wrote the screenplay for the film Elvis & Nixon.[1][2][3][4][5] The idea for the screenplay came about at a chance meeting with Sagal, his now ex-wife Hanala Sagal and Cary Elwes.[6] Joey met Elvis on the set of his father's 1965 film Girl Happy,[7] which eventually inspired him to take the role as the Elvis-like character, The Visitor for the initial 357 performances of Steve Martin's Picasso at the Lapin Agile.[8][9]
