This guy was the best caster back when CoHO was around. I hope he comes back for CoH2 but I think hes tied down in China atm =(.

Harlequin cracked the mould for casting (IMO). When others were still counting down 5-4-3-2-1 and expecting us to correlate the vid with their commentary, he had moved beyond that into Youtube, and had a confident, happy style which covered a multitude of technical sins.It suited couch potatoes like me down to the ground - and gave him wonderful viewing figures - but it proved, I think, that you have to entertain, in order to hold audiences. Ami knows that - Yoinck has proved it professionally. I'm a little sad that Harlequin never got to cast with these people and others like Bridger and Rogers, who offered him an open hand. But life is imperfect....and COH was another step up, for which he plainly, ultimately, did not have enough time in which to immerse himself, albeit he had the help of Audemed, Budwise etc notwithstanding.
I blame Harlequin for the then obsession with Calliopes, but he took the casting world to another level, IMO. Light on the ear, amusing and often informative in his genre. And that is why I pay tribute.
