Name: Ezekiel "Zeke" Vandeviere

Side: Marina's

Age: 70

Occupation: Actor, comedian, in the midst of a comeback

Bio: The Vandeviere family has consisted of generation after generation of actors and entertainers. Zeke was born with many hopes and dreams and pressures from his family. He was raised in the spotlight; quite handsome when he was younger, Zeke's wild antics were highly followed by the paparazzi and made up for his lack of hit films.

Finally nabbing a deal under a now-defunct studio in the 80's, Zeke made two well-revered comedy cult classics. He finally found his niche in comedy, something to branch out from the more dramatic roles of his Vandevier family members before him. His father and mother were disappointed, but that feeling of disappointment from them was something Zeke was used to. They always had ridiculous expectations of him and he would never quite fit the bill for them.

Zeke married twice and had a couple kids. He only ever held a real connection with his youngest daughter - but she never reciprocated those feelings. After his two hit movies, Zeke hit a high and never ever reached those heights again.

Ten years of dormancy at a house in Europe followed for him, until he finally returned into the spotlight with ideas for a comeback project and comedy tour on British television networks. Surely the world would love to hear what was up with the last member of the Vandevier family in the entertainment industry, the star of two cult classics, wouldn't they?

Zeke's thirst for fame surely led him to think so, but he was never able to find out as the ZA began just as his project was in the works.

When finding out Marina herself is an actress, Zeke thrusts incomprehensible and ridiculous sage-like advice to her, and perhaps relates to her as a surrogate for the daughter he pushed away all those years ago.

Personality: Raised in the spotlight and pampered by his rich and famous family to starve for fame, Zeke has delusions of grandeur that he is more famous and more important than he actually is. A running gag is that he oftentimes likes to draw attention to the fact that he was a star in many films (mostly duds after his two most popular cult classic comedies), and shows anger when no one recognizes him or the films he starred in, as a form of his inflated feelings of self-importance.

Truly a man of hilarity, Zeke loves the attention he can get from stirring laughs from others. He is a true source of comic relief. Whenever he is seeking to make others laugh, he doesn't, as most of his humor comes from his own personality quirks and at his own expense. He is easily lost in thought, messy, idealistic, and easily frustrated. Dynamic in every way, as he would put it.

However, many are surprised that he has made it this far - he shows a knack for physical violence, even at his current age. He despises pity and underestimation others seem to have for him, and wants to prove that he is still a force to be reckoned with.
