“To start off, what is your name?”

“President Ronald Reagan”

“And how are you spelling that?”

“E T H A N, D U N L A P”

    To friends like Olivia Taylor ‘15, Senior Ethan Dunlap is a “funny” and maybe a little “weird” character. She reminisces about their first meeting three years ago. Taylor said, “Even though I haven’t known him for that long, he managed to make his way to being my best friend.” Dunlap and Taylor are writing partners for their soon to be released SCTV series Those Guys in the Hall. TGITH is a perfect representation of Dunlaps style and creativity. The off-beat indie style shows writing that could one day be premiered at film festivals. The plot describes the life of a students and their relationship with their school’s tv studio and their actions as returning students try to take it over.

    Dunlap is known for the movie reviews he makes on Facebook. An aficionado of random film facts of all assortments. Being such a fan of the film industry, he plans to continue his movie blogging and low budget masterpieces, even if he doesn’t pursue a film major when he graduates. Dunlap, not able to decide on one favorite movie, he described his “Top Five” Clerks, The Big Lebowski, Pulp Fiction, The Original Star Wars Trilogy, and American Werewolf in London.

    His personality can be predicted from his style in fashion. His rounded glasses and scruffy beard are only the candy shell to the unique person inside. The upbeat and sarcastic humour that emanates from his actions is in ways, contagious. His laugh is one that most people have probably heard at some point in their high school career.  But like any character, he cannot survive on his own, and it’s easy to see how he is able to stay his true self around the people he surrounds himself with.

    Junior Casey Egan is just one of the many students that love to joke around alongside Dunlap. “Wow look at that cool cat over there with his Dragon Ball Z references” said Egan describing his first impression of Dunlap. It was easy to get thrown off into a new world while talking to the many unique personalities Dunlap has found himself associated with. Listening to their conversations you could hear hundreds of different topics thrown around in a matter minutes. They are always going off in different tangents but all still attached in one overall comedic topic. The perfect posse for this unique soul. He and his friends are always laughing together and spreading their joyful moods to whoever may cross their path.
