Escaping the Blast- Jeffrey Donovan

Have you ever seen a guy in a really bad movie and thought 'he'll never work again, will he?'

A lot of the time, you are right. Take, for example, Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter. According to movie buff Joe Bob Briggs, it was the last film of nearly all of the cast, save for maybe two. But that's not always the case...

In today's segment, we cover a horrific sequel and one guy who has managed to live through it. That sequel: Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2

Right away, you know this movie is going to be bad. A big budget remake of a film famous for making the most of its low budget? Sign me up, mister. More importantly, it is a sequel to a film in which NOTHING HAPPENS. What do you follow that up with, more nothing? One guy stands out amongst the group. See if he looks familiar...
Don't recognize him too well? You will.

Cut to modern times and a new hit show on USA. It's about a spy who gets forcibly retired and puts his job skills to a new use. The star is this guy...
Yes, one and the same. Out of the four stars of the movie, he's the only one to go on to good work. Hurray for partial success in a different medium, Jeffrey!

Stay tuned...
