Hello teal lime, Yes, your sentence is okay with either "does" or "imitates". You can also say: My father mimics Robert De Niro very well. But if you add "ing" or "ed" to the verb, please do it as follows: "mimicking" present participle "mimicked" past tense and past participle You need to add the letter "k" first.
