Samuel P. Hasselblad: Transatlantic Mime

Samuel P. Hasselblad is from a part of the United States of A where Idaho is a boast and not just a state. He is in actual fact from the state in the union with the highest rate of deer-related pluracy.

Sportscaster extraordinaire, never seen without his distinctive baseball cap, he drifted from network to network to sex scandal and back again, before taking the only known vow of silence, that was over twice before it began.

He has invested most of his mime millions in the purchase of Native American burial ground and now owns the world's most controversial car parks in the world. Legal costs and necromancy lead him to Great Britain where he was paired with Rupert Facemelter, who he described as "that mime limey", following the unexplained death of his co-presenter Michelle Bittenclick.

Noted for his verbose style of mime commentary, his pairing with Facemelter was once critiqued by mime god Marcel Marceau with a gloriously complex shrug. However Hasselblad will be presenting the upcoming White Glove 2008 in sunny Bulgaria alone, as Facemelter is unable to leave the country. Could this be the end of a beautiful friendship?
