The Electric Company's Spiderman

[ssurgul]

Wow. I think I finally figured out why I was so ... 'fascinated' with the Spiderman on The Electric Company way, way, way back in the day. And no, it wasn't just for the obvious reason of him being in a spiderman outfit and looking amazingly sexy and trim. On checking IMDB and other sources, turns out that Danny Seagren was also a dancer. So he used a lot of exaggerated pantomime movements in his portrayal as zentai-hunk. Looking at it again, mmmmmmmmmm, it's very different than the later interpretations, and is quite delightful in its way.

Oh, yeah, and it's quite a head-trip to see Morgan Freeman acting in a kids' show, particularly after seeing him in Batman Begins/Dark Knight and Se7en. ;)
