Resurrecting Stars – Edward Blatchford
Thursday, March 10th, 2011 by Dmo
We here at the Lowbrow Sophisticate recently acquired grant and fellowship funds from a couple major literary think tanks. We had to present a proposal describing what it is we planned on doing with the money if we were to receive it, which we did. We all have burned out stars close to our hearts, actors, writers and performers whose light has dimmed over the years making our chest cavities feel cold and sleepy. Well, the Lowbrows are here to change all that.
With our grant and fellowship money, we have been able to resurrect some of these fallen heroes’ careers by coaching them ourselves and landing them a role of a lifetime and who better to start with than Mr. Edward Blatchford. That’s right. You may remember Ed in such powerful and moving films as Last of the Mohicans or when he played the helpful Sheriff to Jean Claude Van Damme in Nowhere to Run. But I think we can all agree that no role was more visceral and awe-inspiring than his portrayal of Mr. Belding’s younger, cooler brother, Rod Belding, in television’s Saved By The Bell.
Thank you, Edward Blatchford for touching our hearts for so many years. Here’s to you! We have been able to use our legally acquired funds to place Edward in the role of his life. He will be playing Janitor #2 in a new webisode of The Vampire Diaries, so keep your eyes peeled for the cooler, more-haired Belding brother in an internet episode near you in the winter of 2014!
