Greg Malone (born October 19, 1948 in St. John's, Newfoundland) is a Canadian impressionist and actor.

He is well known for the "CODCO" television series and his impersonations of Barbara Frum, Jean Chrétien, and Queen Elizabeth II.

Prior to CODCO, Malone wrote and performed in a number of shows for CBC Television, including "The Wonderful Grand Band", "The Root Seller" and "The S and M Comic Book", and appeared in the film "The Adventure of Faustus Bidgood".

After the death of his "CODCO" co-star Tommy Sexton in 1993, he devoted some years of his life to raising awareness of HIV and AIDS. He also directed a docudrama film, "The Untold Story of the Suffragists of Newfoundland", in which he appeared as Sir Richard Squires, and acted in the films "Rare Birds", "Extraordinary Visitor", "Messiah from Montreal" and "Heyday!". He also appeared in a one-man special for the Comedy Channel, "Pocket Queen", which won an award at the 1999 Houston International Film and Television Festival. Along with Sexton and their "CODCO" co-star Andy Jones, Malone was a recipient of the Earle Grey Award, the lifetime achievement award of Canadian television's Gemini Awards, in 2002.

Politics

He participated in the campaign that stopped the privatization of Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro, and has championed other environmental causes, including a campaign to ban shipping of garbage to Newfoundland. He ran as a candidate for the New Democratic Party in the St. John's West by-election in 2000, losing narrowly to Loyola Hearn.
