Actress/Comedian/Idea Lady
Her quick wit and beauty make her instant hits with audiences the moment she enters. But little do they know she's also the brains behind some of our funniest lines and bits, initially created by her on the fly. She's the complete package.

Well-Known Role:
French Maid Yvette Fufu (NoClue's Mystery)
A Little Weird:
Appears to be the innocent one of the bunch — but the closer to off-color a line is the better bet it originated with her.
Can You Believe?
While Fufu may not be the brightest bulb, in real life Sarah is a college professor.
Behind the Scenes:
Do you like Flashback's wild hair? How about the outfit Mother Gordon (The Inspector in drag) wears? All Sarah's creations. Though we're not sure she's proud of that.

Actor/Cameraman/Idea Dude
Of his key characters one is a manager's worst nightmare and the other an obnoxious drunk. But somehow Andy makes them endearing fellows — perhaps because Andy himself is an endearing fellow. And one of the creative forces behind why we're here.

Well-Known Roles:
Billy Bob Briscoe — custodial engineer (NoClue's Mystery)
Matluck — inebriated attorney(Law & Disorder)
A Little Weird:
Never sneezes less than 4 times a go; cools hot soup by putting it into his mouth and then frantically shaking his head back and forth.
Can You Believe?
Where Billy Bob's idea of education is to study the Wrestlemania fan guide, Andy is a former College Admissions Director and current school principal.
Behind the Scenes:
Andy's background in university administration comes in handy during our college admission video shoots because he relates both with students as well as administrators and their goals for the project.

Actress Extraordinaire
What you see isn't who she is — except that it is. Somehow she takes characters completely unlike her and they come out touched by her own personality — bubbly, sweet, positive — one of the most enjoyable persons you'll meet.

Well-Known Role:
Blaze The Hairdresser (NoClue's Mystery)
A Little Weird:
She'll often laugh in complete silent mode until her lungs force her to take in a breath.
Can You Believe?
The evening before her first show with us she suffered a concussion during a terrible fall. Insisting on "going on" she wore dark sunglasses to hide her black eyes and the audience never knew how badly she felt.
Behind the Scenes:
She tends to get tickled backstage ... during rehearsals ... in the car on the way to a show ... at funerals ... and at least once each performance. Really tickled. Occasionally hysterical. One word that inexplicably sets her off is "shoehorn." Try it.

Actor/Video Stunt Coordinator
He's the Energizer Bunny, Crock Hunter, and your favorite CMT vee-jay all rolled into one. You can count on a loveable goofball character when he enters, but you'll be hooked by the sincere, kind, fun-loving man himself.

Well-Known Roles:
Vinnie Macaroni (NoClue's Mystery)
Bobby the Bobby (Law & Disorder)
A Little Weird:
His impressions are funny only because each sounds like a cross between Sean Connery, Jimmy Stewart, and Katharine Hepburn.
Can You Believe?
He spends most of his weekends either far underground or high overhead. We think he became an avid outdoorsman and cave explorer just to avoid the Sissy Actor label.
Behind the Scenes:
He and his talented wife Jane are key reasons why our corporate videos have such interesting components. They've set up shots in rivers and woods, stuck clients on tractors, and strung actors up to rappel from ropes.

Co-Producer, Actress, Web Programmer/Designer, Editor
"Looking good people" is her key character's signature line. And without this woman we wouldn't look nearly as good. Not only does every head turn when this beauty enters, she's also been a force behind the look of the company from initial creation to starting our college video division.

Well-Known Roles:
Fitness Queen Chrissie Love (NoClue's Mystery)
Court reporter Trixie (Law & Disorder)
A Little Weird:
She can't wink.
Can You Believe?
She's been a book editor and web designer — even programmed this website — yet clients will only know her as the ditsy blond who led their male colleagues through a butt-shaking aerobics dance routine.
Backstage:
She has a habit of doing things like putting two contacts into the same eye or using the wrong drops — which made for an hysterical mystery wrap-up one evening in Alabama when she couldn't tell the prop knife from the prop gun.

Founder, Creative Director, Schizophrenic
Yes, schizo — ironically, for multiple reasons. One — he ain't right in the head. And two — at varying times he's our producer, writer/director, video editor, cameraman, actor, comic, costume washer, driver ... and yet on many an afternoon can be found napping.

Well-Known Roles:
Inspector NoClue (NoClue's Mystery)
Clumsy DA Erwin Snorkel (Law & Disorder)
A Little Weird:
Originally wore his grandmother-in-law's dress as the character Mother Gordon.
Can You Believe?
Was born with six fingers on each hand — a trait long associated with both creative genius and insanity. Go figure.
Backstage:
Two of his fellow cast members, both female, were helping him change into a dress for his Mother Gordon character — when a door opened and a well-known member of the Atlanta Falcon's stepped in. He took one look at Darryl, the dress, and the ladies, then simply said, "Sorry, man," before quickly retreating back out.
|
Actor, Technical Guru, Assistant Director Video
He plays our inept janitor and our inept judge — ironic, since this man is a five-tool player. Professionally a computer geek, he's also been actor, director, and/or technical producer for some 80 community theater projects. So you can bet if it's an Edge live event or video Keith's hands and hammer have been all over it.

Well-Known Roles:
Sweet Norman (NoClue's Mystery)
Judge (Law & Disorder)
Trucker Tank (Redneck Games)
A Little Weird:
Passed out while laughing during a rehearsal, hitting his head against a wall.
Can You Believe?
Entered a casino's Texas Holdem tournament just for the heck of it. Hours later his face went white when told he was sitting at the final table. Finished third in this World Series qualifier.
Backstage:
We imagine something wild for our videos — and he designs it. He's made knives float in the air and a BellSouth bucket truck fly!
|
Actor, Event Manager, Assistant Director Video
His key character is a bit lost — exactly where we would be without Brentster. While his 30 some Edge characters are out of control funny, the man himself is always together. He coordinates the crazy physical logistics of live performances always in new locations, and in our corporate videos teaches amateur actor-managers to find the funny.

Well-Known Roles:
Flashback Gordon (NoClue's Mystery)
Sully the Cop (Law & Disorder)
A Little Weird:
He's the only Bald Spot Boy who has a full head of hair.
Can You Believe?
The man who plays our happy hippie is actually the drama director of a mega Baptist church in Atlanta.
Backstage:
Be alert because you never know in what way this man's characters will enter a room. From behind, above, even via the swimming pool. And to read about his greatest exit, play our About Us True or False Game.
