Method acting, developed by Konstantin Stanislavsky, has a new star. Move over Brando, Clift and Dean -- Chris Fretz has arrived.
So committed to his performance as the title character in the Christopher Dock Mennonite High School adaptation of A Charlie Brown Christmas, Mr. Fetz had his head shaved "because cast member Kate Swartz, who played Lucy, suggested it," reports a Reporter Online article by staff writer Brian Bingaman.
“Originally, I didn’t like the idea. But the more I thought about it, I decided it was senior year,” [Chris Fetz] said.
As for the black, W-shaped curlicue on Charlie Brown’s forehead, “the only problem is it’s permanent marker and it’s going to be there awhile,” said Fretz.
I was sorry to hear that with only one exception ("Linus and Lucy") the Vince Guaraldi score was cut.

Someone needs to tie that Linus's arms down. He looks like Boris Karloff playing Frankenstein's monster.
