Weirdest role you have ever played

Yup, I have thought of another thread.

What is the weirdest role you have ever performed? Any criteria constitutes "weird", so long as you explain why it is weird.

here are mine:

(warning- several references to children's theatre ahead)

Number one: Quasimodo in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"- a childrens show, no matter how many people told me I was typecast, the makeup was utter hell. And this was the first time I had ever played a "good" character.

Bedelia Cotter in "Marmalade Gumdrops" - a child is cleaning up his room and as he decides to throw things out, his furniture comes to life to show him what kind of fun he could have with those things if he uses his imagination. I was the bed. Believe me, you cannot come up with a joke that I haven't heard. But I still think this is a great show for kids, if only anyone would trust me.

"The Diary of Adam & Eve"- A college production, using a scene form the show. I was the snake. Up on a ladder, in black, with a large toy snake draping me from head to ankle.

When I was about 5, I played Humpty Dumpty in a Church Play.

i was a wall in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. That's right, I was basically a set piece. There were two of us. But we did interact with the characters and had a few lines. It was a student production that I was worried about. But it turned out rather well. It was a cool experience. ... though, my arms got tired from holding up my wall for the entire duration of the show!

Diana in "Of Thee I sing." I just hated that role, and that show so much, it was stupid, and the songs weren't even that good!

i was a sheep in a christmas pageant. I was so pissed that i couldn't be mary. GRRR!

Somone on here was a horses butt. No lie. I remember seeing the post and falling off my chair laughing.

I just ended my weirdest role about a week or two ago. I played Philip Glass in David Ives's "Philip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread". Basically, the composer Philip Glass goes into a bread shop and encounters an old girlfriend. He then goes into a dream sequence using about 10 lines of dialogue, mixing up the words to create weird rhythms and combinations, and tells the story of their relationship. It involved acting like a giant cuckoo clock and a scene that not-so-vaguely resembled an acid trip. Then it snaps back to reality and abruptly ends. It was the worst show I have ever done, all of those who offered feed back said only, "The talent was good..." :P

The Ugliest Person in the World. Don't get any ideas, I was hidden under a blanket the whole time.

I'm a female who played Polonius from Hamlet in 6th grade -that was pretty weird. I'm pretty sure I wore some crazy beard of some sort, HA.

I was "Moo" the reindeer in a children's play of The SnowQueen. I had a fuzzy pink tail!

I was also a mute japenese tourist who got hit by a bomb in the groundzero club. I stared at the audience the entire show through a viewfinder at the edge of the stage.

We did a production of TOMMY this past summer. My wife was Cousin Kevin. And yes, she played it as a woman. I was the Specialist in Act Two, cause you know, me and Norm Lewis are so interchangable. Him of the bravura tall suave booming baritone african american race, and me the barely-making-it-to-5-foot-7-furry meatball Italian Catholic. I joined the show late in the rehearsal process when they were in desperate need of guys (and what community theatre can't relate to that?!?) so in the first Act, I was the priest who married Mr. and Mrs. Walker, then I was the Horny Specialist who took more time with his hot endowed nurse than examining Tommy. (Can we say horny on here?) Then, later on, I was Mr. Simpson (you know, who announced, outside the house, that Sally couldn't go to the meeting). It was quite the evening for me. I guess the wierdest role before that was Sr. Hubert in NUNSENSE A-MEN! Again, me being so like the large Black women who have played her in the past!
