| ACTOR PORTRAYING DERREN BROWN TO BE REPLACED BY DICK SEARGENT |
The world of magic and mentalism was shocked when it was announced that the actor  who has played British Mentalist Derren Brown for the past five seasons is being replaced by character actor Dick Seargent. “It’s difficult to understand,” Brown’s manager said after the news broke. “But the TV executives said they wanted to go in a different direction.” While executives refused to confirm, insiders say the change was prompted by Browns erratic behaviour of late, including the event that tabloids have referred to as the “Oompa Loompa” scandal This, of course, is not the first time a high profile magician has been replaced. In 1981 the role of Harry Blackstone Jr. was taken over by a then unknown John Goodman, but the most high profile re-casting took place in the mid 1970’s when the role of Paul Harris was temporarily taken over by Welcome Back Kotter star Gabe Kaplan. |
