As the World Turns - MESSAGE BOARDS

I loved the actor who played the Ben Franklin impersonator, and I loved his scene with Jack. Well done for whoever crafted this. It's not that I found it comical; I thought it was great from a human interest point of view.

:) I agree: as a former Philly resident it's fun to see the locations where they are shooting, and it's great that they've given a shout-out to Philabundance, which is a real food bank that does a tremendous job, especially in these awful times.

There are several people in Phila. who make their livings as Ben Franklin impersonators; they turn up at events all over the place, and they obviously have to be pretty good actors to carry it off. I'm not familiar with this particular guy, but I agree he's a real asset. The most famous (and best) BF impersonator, Ralph Archbold, had a stroke last summer and is currently recuperating. He came to an event we had once: he did it as a favor and was gracious and friendly to everyone, but stayed in character as BF the whole time, insisting we refer to him as "Dr. Franklin"!

If these Jack-in-Phila. scenes are typical of Jack's post-Brad "tour de penance" s/l, I'm really going to enjoy it. It was good to see Dr. Ben as well.
