From the "You Just Just Never Know..." Files
David Strathairn is the actor who played Arthur Spiderwick in " The Spiderwick Chronicles". The reason I'm posting this is because there's an interview with the actor in the online edition of USA TODAY where he reveals he was a Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Clown College graduate. The year was probably 1970 according to circus clown Steve Copeland (currently touring as one of the clown comic duo of Steve and Ryan with the Kelly Miller Circus ) He even toured with the show for a while. Wow and cool!
This tidbit is courtesy of fellow RBBBC clown Mike Wheatly who is always a wealth of neat information of the clown variety. Thanks, Mike. Steve followed up with the year of his RBBB Clown College class shortly after Mike passed along his info via our clown grapevine. Thank you Mr. Copeland. We're in good company my fellow clownies!
