Edgar Oliver
Not many of you would have heard of the very strange an unique, Edgar Oliver. He has been very well known in the downtown NY theater scene since the 1980's Sir Oliver is a Poet and an actor and writes all his own material and directs all his own shows. He has lately been brought into the main stream due to his very brief 2 minute stint on Oddities for his famous line "Is that a Straight Jacket?"
So what we can gather is that Edgar is a bit of a creep and he pretty much reminds me of this fellow from family guy...
Herbert The Pervert
Now oddities hasn't been the only show he has been in on TV. He also now hosts his own spin off show of oddities called Odd Folks Home, and acts as the creepy crypt keeper of sorts. Still with his creepy accent.
Even with the fish-eye lens.....i don't think this show is TV PG just based on his voice alone, i can feel myself being fiddled.
But apart from TV, Edgar has been in a movie called Gentlemen Broncos. Basically a home schooled kids writes a book and a big writer is suffering writers block so he steals the kids book...pretty much it, like Big Fat Liar but not with the ugly little midget kid from Malcolm In The Middle.
But from what i can see, Edgar Oliver is a fantastic artist and has really found his niche for his poetry and plays. He does great work and he definitely has a cult following. See below for some of his work.
