Dega - Frank Pelligra
After completing a costly and useless Master's Degree in the Liberal Arts, Frank rose to the level of Second Degree Journeyman in the little-known field of plus-sized harness jockeying and gained notoriety as a semi-professional competitive eater on the hotly-contested North Jersey circuit. He occasionally wakes from a BBQ brisket and milkshake-induced coma to wander onto the set of a motion picture, where he tries to avoid profuse sweating, staring directly into the camera, and breathing so heavily that an unplugged boom mike will register the heaving sound three bars into the orange. He is best know as the second team stunt double for the little magical Chinese boy in the 1986 hit The Golden Child, which is odd because he took absolutely no part in the making of that film.
