"Paul Levinson's It's Real Life is a page-turning exploration into that multiverse known as rock and roll. But it is much more than a marvelous adventure narrated by a master storyteller...it is also an exquisite meditation on the very nature of alternate history." -- Jack Dann, The Fiction Writer's Guide to Alternate History

'Grandpa' Actor Finally Identified in 'Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer' Video

Still my favorite Christmas song (written by Randy Brooks, performed by Dr. Elmo), and here's the best video...



And, after all these years, I believe I've identified the talented actor who plays Grandpa - it's Lee Stein, a librarian and biologist in Philadelphia, science fiction fan, and, as fate would have it, one of my Top Friends on MySpace....

Dr. Elmo cast himself in that role, since he bankrolled and produced that video. Actually - look closely - Dr. Elmo plays BOTH Grandma and Grandpa.

I know ... but you have to admit, Grandpa sure looks a lot like Lee Stein...
