Bizarro Heffie must be destroyed
Nov. 5th, 2005 11:36 pmJohnny Go and Bub needs to happen as a comic. There's just no other way around it. Now I need to find an artist. Where to go? Craigslist looks like a low-rent mess. I need someone who can capture the perfect balance of humor, style, and character depth. Hmm.
So a guy named Jeremy Hefner from Carlsbad NM has friended me over facebook. Apparently he is friending all Hefners he can find. I'm not sure I will, considering he's a bit of a militant conservative with whom I doubt I can have any rapport, but that's not what bothers me. What bothers me is the fact that I checked his message board and read that someone left the message: "Heffie-mOoOoooo! Hey bud, hope you're doing good! =)"
Heffie. They call him... Heffie. -.-
But even worse than this is what I just learned from Misty. She saw Brain Cornelius' thesis production at WAC, which featured Bizarro Heffie in the cast. For those who don't recall Bizarro Heffie, his name is Eric, and Dave once described his looks as "John Hefner if he were twisted by evil." He also vaugely resembles Vigo the Carpathian from Ghostbusters 2. I just treated this as a joke until the day when he was in the Student Center and he turned off LEON: THE PROFESSIONAL to watch Inuyasha instead. There was no doubt from that point on. This man was my dark half.
I hadn't given Bizarro Heffie much thought in the months since I graduated college, until tonight when Misty saw the play and told me, "bizarro heffie made the show... the similarities between the two of you are priceless, and just watching him and thinking about the comparisons was worth going itself. the physical characteristics you share is strange... AND he does a *lot* of the same hand gestures you do. like you both have similar hands too... and then with the waving them around the same way... and the really loudness." And then she added the kicker: "he's a flailer too."
All of a sudden, I feel rather inadequate. No, I'm serious. I mean, on one hand, I'm all like, hey, I flail, sure, but I'm capable of really low-key subtle work too when people give me the chance! And then on the other hand, I'm feeling like, "No, the flailing is my thing! It's what I do! Like Jack Nicholson's voice! Like Walken's Walkenness! He can't take it from me! GAHH!"
This is unsettling to my neurotic insecure actor mind, you understand. My evil twin is out there, and he has my hand gestures.
