David Harlin

David, aka "The Quinn", returns for his third year as a Blackfryar, male shimmy dancer for the Queen, and insane stunt performer. Known behind the scenes for being endearing yet less-than-sane, he has vowed that this year he will turn it up a notch further, being more daring, more wild, and more sexy than before (he assures us it is possible...except for the sexiness. He blames genetics.). During his time away from Faire, Quinn lives his life to the hilt while still working hard at his various endeavors. Adding to his repertoire as an artist, a rock musician, a singer, a song writer, a fiction writer, a performer, and an actor, he is writing an original screenplay he hopes to produce if for no other reason than to try it. We'll leave the plethora of day jobs, academic awards, and certifications he's held over the years alone. With an IQ over 140, a passion for Sci-Fi and comic books, and a love of history, working with the people at Mt. Hope was a dream come true (mostly because we're all a bunch of geeks). He's hopelessly addicted to Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, and George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire." Quinn would like to thank all of his friends and directors at PRF/Mount Hope for believing in him, encouraging him, and nudging him towards new andexciting things all the time.

Memorable Faire Moment:
There have been so many wonderful, fun, and wild moments it's hard to choose just one. I will have to go with the "Clifford and Easton become Her Majesty and Dudley's stunt doubles" bit that lasted half a day. Not really a moment per se, but memorable nonetheless.
