Edwin Blackgaard
From Adventures in Odyssey Wiki
Contents |
[edit] Description
Edwin Blackgaard, born Ronald Edwin Blackgaard, voiced by Earl Boen (who also voices Edwin Blackgaard's identical-twin brother Dr. Regis Blackgaard) first appeared in #203: Double Trouble. Due to his similarity to Regis, he was initially rejected by the townspeople, but now, thanks to Whit's help, he is generally accepted by the town, (though they don't patronize his Harlequin Theater as often he would like.)
[edit] Family
Edwin has an invilid mother who lives off a trust fund set up by Edwin's evil twin Regis. Since Edwin and Regis are identical, Edwin is occasionally mistaken for his twin, especially when he first came to Odyssey.
[edit] Past
Edwin's history is unclear, except that he was trained as a Shakespearian actor and, apparently, was quite popular in roles before he moved to Odyssey. In Odyssey, he is torn between performing the Shakespearian plays he loves and performing the "crowd pleasers" that bring in enough money to keep his dinner theater afloat financially.
[edit] Friends
He is generally accompanied by his faithful servant Walter Shakespeare. Whit befriended him when he first came to Odyssey, and they remain good friends, though they don't see each other too often now.
[edit] Personality
Edwin is an egotistical, condescending, spotlight-loving ham. However, he does this in such a lovable manner and has such a generally good attitude that fans (and Odyssyans) love him. He can be serious at times, and occasionally (such as in 359 The Merchant of Odyssey) we get a glimpse of the good actor that lives somewhere (very deep) inside of him. His conversation with Whit at the end of 203: Double Trouble also shows more of his serious side.
Though his full name is Ronald Edwin Blackgaard, he prefers to be called 'Edwin' as opposed to 'Ronald' so as not to be confused with a certain clown of that name.
