[edit] DescriptionEdwin Blackgaard, born Ronald Edwin Blackgaard, voiced by Earl Boen (who also voices Edwin Blackgaard's identical-twin brother Dr. Regis Blackgaard), first appeared in #203: “Double Trouble”. Due to his similarity to Regis, he was initially rejected by the townspeople, but, thanks to Whit's help, he is generally accepted by the town, (though they don't patronize his Harlequin Theatre as often he would like.)

[edit] FamilyMain article: Blackgaard family
Edwin has an invalid mother who lives off a trust fund set up by Edwin's evil twin Regis. Edwin's twin is Regis Blackgaard.

[edit] PastEdwin's history is unclear, except that he was trained as a Shakespearean actor and, apparently, was quite popular in roles before he moved to Odyssey. In Odyssey, he is torn between performing the Shakespearean plays he loves and performing the "crowd pleasers" that bring in enough money to keep his dinner theatre afloat financially.

[edit] FriendsHe is generally accompanied by his faithful servant Walter Shakespeare. Whit befriended him when he first came to Odyssey, and they remain good friends, though they don't see each other too often now.

[edit] PersonalityEdwin is an egotistical, condescending, spotlight-loving ham. However, he does this in such a lovable manner and has such a generally good attitude that fans (and citizens of Odyssey) love him. He can be serious at times, and occasionally (such as in #359: “The Merchant of Odyssey”) we get a glimpse of the good actor that lives somewhere (very deep) inside of him. His conversation with Whit at the end of #203: “Double Trouble” also shows more of his serious side.

[edit] TriviaEdwin takes mud baths for skin elasticity.
Edwin's full name is Ronald Edwin Blackgaard, but he prefers to be called 'Edwin' as opposed to 'Ronald' so as not to be confused with a certain clown of that name.
Edwin owns The Electric Palace.
