Jonathan Blair

Jonathan Blair had an epiphany.He was sitting at the bar in Italian trattoria he was managing in Cambridge, MA.It was the summer of 1990.He was bereft of joy in his life.He worked 70 hours and had no time for leisure, let alone to think.It was 90 degrees out.And then, his cousin from Maine walked in.He looked at Jonathan and said,"Cuz, you need to quit your job and come on the road and sell glow-lights .(Glows were a recent invention in 1990, and his cousin bought them at wholesale)So, Jonathan Blair gave his two week notice and his boss said, no need, just finish out the week.After two months traveling up and down the northeast coast selling glow-lights at firework displays, Jonathan Blair was inspired to take an acting class.And so, this is where the epiphany took place. As he recited Shakespeare in a dingy Boston actors theater.He knew he was meant to peform.
