GMMB 01.07 - Save the Last Dance for Me

This blog is now video-fied. You can watch it HERE. 

If you were the Disney Channel, how would you treat one of the original Mouseketeers?

That's right, have him choke on a cheesy puff. You are looking at one of the original Mouseketeers; one of a handful that survived the entire first run on the Disney Channel. He even wrote a book called "Confessions of an Accidental Mouseketeer." He had other bit roles in TV and movies, many of which seem like lighter dancing roles, like this one from the episode.

And how did he finish his acting career? Strip Club Manager in an episode of "Homicide: Life on the Street" in 1999. Wholesome.

As for the girl in this episode Shana, well, she went from this:

To this:

Not a bad transition, little butterfly. This transformation garnered Alexondra Lee, the actress behind the beef between Zack and Mikey, a spot in Stuff Magazine's "101 Most Beautiful Women in the World" in 2001. Most of her work has been in television, most notably her 20 episode stint on "Party of Five" and the sci-fi show "Special Unit 2."

Another facet of Ms. Alexondra Lee that will help establish a theme for this blog is her dancing. She grew up with ballet and danced in the "Nutcracker Suite" with the New York Ballet Company.

And, since the theme is now officially dancing, I leave you with Mr. Belding.
