Keith Wann, a child of deaf adults (CODA) and a well-known
comedian among the deaf. He has a number of video footage
of his comedian routines and more on Google Video.
He was previously involved with some commercials produced
by Mösdeux for HOVRS (Hands On Video Relay Service). Keith
is quite a talented comedian; I have to say because of his
knowledge of the deaf community and the hearing world. He
took a 180-degree turn on this role, as it wasn't a role he
was accustomed to, more of a dramatic role. Like some
well-known comedians, they also are talented at
demonstrating different emotions and characteristic traits.
For instance, Robin Williams, an extraordinary comedian and
he's one of the best dramatic actors today. If Keith Wann
continues with taking on different roles, he will be able to
achieve a lot more.
Now, let me talk about the strange character played by Keith
Wann. I saw the clip of him doing an interview with Mosdeux
a few weeks ago and it sparked my interest. He said that he
was always hired/asked to do goofy characters and this was a
great escape from that typecast - for sure. I agree - he was
creepy, dirty, nutty, and.... creepy. Creepy. Throughout the
movie, I'd be kind of feeling good but then would spiral
downward into some kind of weird, confused feeling like...
you guessed it..... "tormented, exhausted, stressed, and out
of control" dude. Keith Wann's character is perhaps some
kind of farmer. A creepy farmer. An apple farmer (I never
heard of those? I mean, I know people have to pick apples -
but call them an apple farmer?) who Chad Taylor bumps into
at the apple orchard. Creepy apple farmer and "tormented,
exhausted, stressed, and out of control" dude run around in a
cat and mouse game."
