Earlier this week we lost the beloved actor Conrad Bain, aka Mr. Drummond from "Diff'rent Strokes".
Some Penn alumni encouraged me to post Penn Six's popular song "Conrad Bain" from their 1993 album "Jacket Off" album however I couldn't find it anywhere online.
After chatting with a Penn Six alum friend, I was able to locate the song ...and after the jump you can now listen to it!

Recently, Liz Banks (C'96) has stepped behind the camera to produce a new film called "Pitch Perfect" (based off of this book) with her Penn alum producer husband Max Handleman (C'95, AEPi), all about competitive collegiate a cappella groups.
After the jump, find out which a capella group Liz references from her time at Penn in an interview she just did with Entertainment Weekly...and listen to the great song this group did that she said was "the most amazing version" she's ever heard in her life.

Every Penn success story in Hollywood has an interesting beginning and the following is another must-read for ambitious undergrads and alumni looking to stand out and charter the entertainment waters.
Get the details on how Sonny Lee (C'03) became a TV staff writer for a popular show premiering this week!
Two years ago Sonny Lee’s (C'03, PennSix, Full Measure, Penn Admissions) job “sucked” so he took matters into his own hands which jump started his Hollywood writing career and soon began writing as a staff writer for It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. (he also acted in an episode called "Mac and Charlie Die: Part Two," where he played Quan, Danny DeVito's new potential roommate -see image below.)
Season Four premieres this Thursday, Sept. 18th on FX with Sonny's episode airing in the second back-to-back episode (10:30 pm) titled "The Gang Solves The Gas Crisis":
"Charlie, Mac and Dennis decide that since gas prices have doubled over the last year, why not buy up a bunch of gas now, store it in the bar for a year, and then sell it back for a huge profit? Meanwhile, Dee and Frank are convinced that Dee's biological father, Bruce Mathis, is funding terrorists when he donates to a local Muslim community center."
Click here to find out how Sonny took his career into his own hands!

Debuting tonight on here!, America's premium gay television network, Robert Gant (C'90, Penn Six) stars with Shannen Dougherty and John Rhys-Davies in Kiss Me Deadly.
Per Business Wire, the plot is as follows:
"Jacob Keane (Gant) is a photographer living the family life in Milan with his loving boyfriend, Paolo, and Julia, the daughter he shares with his lesbian friend, Kyra. When a young woman, Marta (Doherty), arrives from his past life, he is pulled back into the high-stakes world of international espionage. Together they must elude a mysterious enemy threatening to disrupt their now-quiet lives. Out actor Ian Roberts (Superman Returns) co-stars as the villainous Vigo, while John Rhys-Davies (Lord of the Rings trilogy) plays the heroic Yale, a former colleague of Jacob and Marta."
Watch the trailer hereAs to what he's up to now, Robert told me that he just wrapped:
- a Lifetime movie called Special Delivery that will air in December for Lifetime with Lisa Edelstein of House and Brenda Song, one of the young Disney stars.
- a part for a film for Spike TV called Mask of the Ninja.

Did you catch actor Robert Gant (C'90, Penn Six) on last week's "Magda and Jeff" episode of Nip/Tuck?
Robert played the gold digging husband of an eighty something year old(!) who insists her husband check into the McNamara-Troy plastic surgery center to add more hair to his body. Robert was very funny in this episode. See for yourself...
Watch Scene 1: "So Tell me what you don't like about yourself"
Watch Scene 2: He gets a mustache

Check out these 3 videos from Penn Six's performance at Princeton a couple weeks ago...
Sure there are guys in thongs and women's bathing suits, but all I'll say is that one of the Penn Six guys has a somewhat revealing costume...and it seems he -and the videographer know it. :)
