Cosplayer Spotlight: Key Jones
Greetings, Vocal readers. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. The month of December has finally arrived and we are weeks away from saying goodbye to 2019 and hello to 2020. To end the year on a positive note, I've had several cosplayers who have recently contacted me to be interviewed and a few of them are coming in the coming days. Recently, I had a chance to interview cosplayer Key Jones. Before I get started, I want to remind everyone that if you like any of my articles, including the previous cosplayer interviews I've done earlier this year, please feel free to send me a one-off tip, which can be located at the end of every article. No tip is ever too big or small. Your tip helps me and other Vocal creators write better stories. Other than that, I hope you enjoy my interview with Key.

Jessica Sherr and Her Bette Davis Show Ain’t for Sissies
Long before Jessica Sherr received acclaim for her one woman show on Bette Davis, she learned how easily things can go awry onstage. “I was in Frosty the Snowman, and right before I went on, I sneezed,” Sherr remembered. “My mom didn’t have time to wipe my nose and through the whole dance I was crying.” The attention she got, though, made her realize that, “this was it.” But what the three year old didn’t realize was that not folding in the face of pitfalls would be an ongoing two step that has led to success.

Cosplayer Spotlight: Walter 'Kidkryptonite' Johnson
Greetings, Vocal readers. As I prepare to head to Little Rock for Arkansas Comic Con this weekend, I decided to do a cosplayer interview to pass up the time. One of the things I love the most about interviewing a cosplayer is getting to know more about them and share my articles about them to my followers on social media. Recently, I had the opportunity to interview Walter 'Kidkryptonite' Johnson. His cosplays are amazing to see on my social media feeds. I hope you enjoy my interview with him.

Fern Sutherland on the Record
With the sixth series of The Brokenwood Mysteries currently filming, I took the opportunity to put a few questions to New Zealand actress Fern Sutherland. For the past five series, Sutherland has played "by the book" Detective Kristin Sims opposite Neill Rea’s Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Shepherd on the New Zealand detective drama.

Cosplayer Spotlight: Isaiah Gieck
One of my favorite things about being a cosplayer is meeting people and forming friendships in the process. Not only that, but showing off my cosplays and enjoying myself at cons. I'm currently preparing for a con that's happening in my area in approximately a week. Also, I'll be attending Arkansas Comic Con for the first time in September. I'll be doing a review of that con on Vocal soon. If you haven't seen my last cosplayer interview, you can read it in the link at the end of this article. In the meantime, I'm back with another cosplayer interview. Recently, I had a chance to interview Isaiah Gieck, via Facebook, and got to know more about him. So sit back and enjoy my interview with him.

Cosplayer Spotlight: Joshua Meeks
It has been a month since I've done a cosplayer interview, but now, I'm back to do some more before I attend GlitchCon in almost a week. If you haven't checked out my last cosplayer interview, you can click on the link below. I recently got a chance to interview Joshua Meeks, via my cosplay page on Facebook. The reason why I interview cosplayers is because I want my followers and everyone on Vocal to get to know more about them. Other than that, I hope you enjoy my interview with Joshua.

Cosplayer Spotlight: Salina Curry
Interviewing almost two dozen cosplayers has been amazing. I got to know each and every one of them. To me, the cosplay community is one of many communities I'm proud to be part of. Whenever I go to a con, meeting people and enjoying the atmosphere are the two things I love the most about being a cosplayer. Being a cosplayer since 2014 has been a blessing. I've had my highs and lows, but managed to overcome so many obstacles, especially outside of cosplay. Not only that, but making lots of friends and having amazing con adventures in the process. I'll be attending cons outside of Arkansas, where I currently reside, in the future. That has always been one of my goals, so you'll be seeing more of me down the road.

Patrick Collins of Katonah Is an Actor with Character
In 1973, Patrick Collins’s Bronx background led him to teaching religion at John F. Kennedy High School in Somers. The Bronx upbringing also played a part in becoming a child actor in shows like The Guiding Light. His mother setting him on that course. But the fling with acting in elementary school didn’t have as much a say on his career path than the 13 plays he did as an undergrad at Villanova.
