Vincent impersonators are many in the glorious tradition of our fandom. The most recent one debuted just one month ago. Eric "Vintage Beast" has not only a great talent as impersonator: he also has a beautiful way with words. The depth and the respect that shine through how he introduces himself and speaks of his passion are truly inspiring. He created two versions of Vincent sofar, for two different cosplay conventions in August 2013. He shared his passion, and the step-by-step process of creating his Vincent persona, on his Facebook page that he kept blessedly free for browsing by those who are not Facebook members. Here is the link: and here is the link to his webpage to follow him:

“Preserving and
Honoring...
I have no desire to showcase who resides underneath the guise of my rendition of
"Vincent." I have other ways to shine in my life, and I wish for the attention
here to go to Vincent, the original television series from the late 80's, and to
the fans that make up a world that is still very much thriving - a world that I
have never truly stepped into, perhaps for fear of rejection. This character
meant so much to a young boy coming up without a decent father figure...a young
kid who learned how to be nearly everything he became - by simply sitting down
one day a week to take in "Beauty and the Beast." The show and the character of
Vincent meant so very much to me growing up. VB, August 2013” |
And, for
those who are Facebook challenged (yes, we do exist!), here are some of
the beautiful pictures.
