you might get the impression that I am conceited or looking for "attention", but I'm far from that.Thanks

well, when I was 6 years old; my father, my brothers, and I would always sit in a circle and impersonate a character.
Like anything from a famous person to an animal or object such as a car.
we got that idea from watching the movie "the professional" (with Natalie Portman)

I don't think you are sounding conceded or looking for attention at all, you asked a legitimate question.
In my opinion, yes, what you did since the age of six definitely had a strong influence with your acting abilities. Just to mention a couple of things, it gave you confidence, it opened your imagination and creativity.
Not to mention I think it is great that you had (have) a father that participated in activities with you and your brothers.

Of course it does. When you get right down to it acting is playing the way children play when they are impersonating other people. What your family game did was to keep your child-like ability to play alive and active. It is a quality that actors need to have. When we say someone has talent for acting, we mean that person has the ability to play. Those who are less talented have been told to grow up and be serious and thus have lost their ability to play.

Impersonating and acting are two totally different things. Do not get them confused.
