Title: The Artistry of Louis Edmonds
Post by: Gothick on December 19, 2016, 11:45:17 PM

One of my favorite performances from Louis Edmonds was when he was allowed to play Parallel Time Roger Collins as a gossipy, vitriolic drunk, reminiscent of the character of Harold in BOYS FROM THE BAND.  This episode which I learned is one of a group from 1970 on Youtube is a fab example of how brilliantly Louis played the role:

I think it is actually my favorite character he played.  Maybe tied with the original 1966 characterization of Roger who was deliciously snide and devious.

I so agree! Both are given some great dialogue that it's obvious Louis loved playing.

The episode in the link has Roger informing Angelexis with delicious venom that comparing Maggie to Angelique would be like trying to compare a sable to a mouse.  Lara's expression is priceless.

Happy Holidaze!
