I’m sure there are more of them than I can name, but there are quite a few members of the thespian community living very discreetly here on Hamlin Street.

I thought about them after the Swoosie Kurtz post of the other day. Swoosie has attained some level of fame and respect, which has emboldened others to speak up on her behalf. But who will speak up for the lesser known among us who may be equally as talented but have names less known to the public?

Beans Morroco lives on my street. He has quite a resume and makes regular guest starring appearances at our gym.

Kevin Brophy (and his wife Amy) and their brood are vastly overtalented and fun folks. Kevin is dashing and drives a red convertible and he is the one you want to invite to your dull Christmas party when you need a spike in the energy level. He appeared in the 1993 film, “Fearless” as well as “Hell Night” and “The Seduction” and this just about sums up the best aspects of his Errol Flynn like persona.

Frank Schultz is best known as the actor who rented his home to fellow actor and acquitted murderer Robert Blake ( who lived here during his Van Nuys trial). Schultz is a world traveller and graduate of Berkeley. Frank had a red house that burned down and he rebuilt it as a white house with a white roof and currently rents to whites. I couldn’t find out anything else about Mr. Schultz.

Maybe he should change his name to Swoosie Schultz.
