[b]Hey kid, what’s your name?[/b]

[color=a187be]"Ernest Gillian! Or you might know me better as [i]Ted Redd[/i]! [i]Bruce Huntz[/i]? Is there even cable up here?"[/color]

[b]How old are you anyway?[/b]

[color=a187be]"25 crisp years old."[/color]

[b]Why don’t you lay your past on me? What are you even doing here?[/b]

[color=a187be]"I know, right? 'What's a star-studded Los Angelite doing up in Oregon for the summer?' See, when I was a little kid, about seven or so, my parents decided that I should be a star and put my through a whole bunch of child actor agencies to try to get me into something. I was in a few commercials, I was an extra in a couple crime shows, and once I was a single-episode antagonist in a sitcom. Little Billy the Bully. Classic!"

"It wasn't until my tween years that I got my first role, and a leading one at that! [i]Ted Redd: Junior Psychic.[/i] I was Ted, of course, it was a kinda half-scary action show for kids, like Gooselumps but off-brand, but man did I love playing Ted. It was a blast. Only lasted a couple of years though, and I didn't get anyone role until high school, where I was cast in a teen drama, [i]Olander[/i]. I was Bruce, y'know, the doofy but nice jock guy, you know him."

"Anyway! I spent nearly my entire life on television, but somewhere after graduating I realized that it wasn't really for me. Sure, I liked doing it, and I still have my agent and it makes a load of money, but it was never my choice, you know? I had hobbies outside of it. I collect butterflies, bird skulls, all sorts of little oddities, but never really anything major or career-based. Some point in May, I got hit hard with that realization, and got in a bit of a funk about it. So I decided to clear my head with a roadtrip, up north and away from LA. I ended up in this weird town off the map, Gravity Falls. I love it here though! It's a really nice change to be in a rink-dink town where the population doesn't leave double digits for once in my life.

I might just stay here past the summer! Something about this place feels...right."[/color]

[b]Anything else you wanna share? Go for it![/b]

[color=a187be]Ernest has a long-buried stint as a kid in a diaper commercial. It was known as the 'Bedwetter' saga. He really does not like to bring it up.[/color]
