Here are a few little known facts about The Keeper that you might find interesting.
- Claire’s name was originally supposed to be Kyle. Yes, Kyle. I kid you not. Somewhere along the way it was changed to Claire.
- The Keeper is an expert in Animal Defense Mechanisms and is a D.V.M. Makes sense since she had all those animals in her lab.
- Claire is also a M.D., a specialist in neurotoxicology and cellular biology, among other things.
- Matt Greenberg established from the beginning of the series that The Keeper knew Darien’s brother, Kevin, well (even though we didn’t find out until the episode Brother’s Keeper). In fact, Matt had intended that Darien would eventually find out about the relationship between Kevin and The Keeper.
Did you learn something new? Well, stay tuned and I’ll share more Invisible Man Fun Facts in future posts.

Posted in Paul Ben-Victor, Theatre/Plays at 7:53 pm by Amanda Rogers
I’m passing on to all of you a link and some audience reviews that Paul Ben-Victor sent me yesterday. The link is to a great article about Paul’s play The Good Steno, which is currently playing at the Hayworth Theater in Los Angeles, California. He also included some raving audience reviews (see below).
I love the mother/son picture of Paul and his mom, Leah Cornfeld Friedman, that is included in the article. To read the article and view the pictures go to http://www.broadwayworld.com/viewcolumn.cfm?colid=15798.
Paul’s play runs until March 25, 2007, so there’s still time to catch it! Go to www.thegoodsteno.com for ticket information.
Audience Reviews
“The Good Steno” is one of the best plays I’ve seen anywhere in years. Absolute perfection: the writing, the casting, the acting, the staging, the music, the choreography, the fun, the laughs and pain intermingled seamlessly and with great effect. I have recommended it to friends, colleagues and family with full confidence that I have done them a great favor if they check out what theater is meant to be and do for the human heart and psyche.

We still can’t stop talking or thinking about the play…the inventiveness, the performances, the continuity, the structure, the choreography, the UNBELIEVABLE talent all around! It is so rare to go to a play where everyone knocks it out of the ballpark!! Seriously. SERIOUSLY.
A sensational job on all fronts!
Jen & Steve
The Good Steno is a must-see! The stellar writing gives a sense of total authenticity to the time and place. The cast of beautifully-crafted characters delivers a jaw-dropping performance. The story unfolds at a pace unbeknownst to Black Box theatre ’til now. The comedy, the suspense…it stays with you for days…
Amy Belasen
What a magnificent play! What wonderful work Leah and Paul did together - the characters and the world they created stays with me!

Had a great time the other night. Really great piece of work. Acting was superb. Do you know if there’s any way I could get a copy of Paul Ben-Victor’s play? I’d really like to read it before I see it AGAIN.
All the best,
Amici

Posted in Film, Paul Ben-Victor at 9:22 pm by Amanda Rogers
Some of you long-time readers of my posts might remember that I wrote back in 2005 about Paul Ben-Victor having a role in All the King’s Men. Well, you might be interested in knowing that the film has come and gone from theaters and is now available on DVD.
So why did it take me so long to bring this news to you? I admit that I do get swamped and behind on the news from time to time, but I assure you that’s not what happened in this case.
Actually, I had heard a little rumor that Paul’s part had been cut; and it wasn’t until just recently when I was able to watch the movie On Demand that I was able to confirm that rumor.
Yes, I’m sorry to say, Paul’s character ended up on the proverbial cutting room floor.
I can’t give you an exact reason why this happened, but most likely the film was too long and/or the story needed to be tightened up. When that happens, characters that aren’t integral to the storyline often get cut. It’s a shame it had to happen to Paul though.

It’s always fun to see what other fans have done to show their love for The Invisible Man. Fan art is just one of the means that fans use to express themselves and I’m mentioning it now because, recently, a whole page of fan art was brought to my attention by Holly. She and a few other fans have created and posted some pretty cool artwork and graphics on this page.
As an example, here’s a darling Chibi Darien drawn by Rain, a fan from Australia, who was kind enough to let me post it here. Isn’t he adorable?
To view more artwork by these talented I-Man fans go to Deviant Art.
