Geoff the Actor

Geoff was one of the foremost and well respected actors of his generation, he had studied at some of the best theatre schools in the garden and had in fact appeared throughout the known world in stage and screen. He was known for his ability to get into the character and immerse himself totally in the persona of the insects he portrayed, I guess you would call him a method actor. Geoff had even been known to carry the character through into his home life, much to the dismay of his friends and neighbours when he played a serial killer or mass murderer. They forgave him though, Geoff was a magnet to lady flies and even though the life expectancy for one of Geoff's friends was alarmingly short, it was a glorious way to go. Geoff's most famous film was called "The Man" in which he played a mad scientist who was experimenting with teleportation and his DNA got mixed up with that of a human. Geoff's character started to lose his exoskeleton, wash occasionally and eat solid food that hadn't been vomited on! He also became duplicitous, conniving and generally a bad fly. The box office receipts were phenomenal as flies queued to see the horror of Geoff's character slowly turning into a human, flies were horrified by the mere thought that this could actually happen. It had been a few days since Geoff's heyday and his "tour de force" movie but it still earned him royalties and accolades for his performance. Geoff would retire happy secure in the knowledge that he had been a part of the biggest movie of his generation and even though "The man 2 - return of the soft skin" was now in production with a new and younger actor, he knew that the classic first film would always be the best.
