We caught a commercial on TV for/from the Mormons about their website. In the spot are average everyday people just chatting about their faith. When who would pop up on the screen but comedian, banjo player, magician and cult favorite, Phil Vantee.
Church was the original show business. So of course the Latter Day Saints could possibly end up in a fabulous crossover with the Comedy Central improv show Reno 911.
Did they know they were using the man who played a Jewish, 7-foot tall, hooker, "man with teats," who's capture won the scavenger hunt for the officer and secured him two tickets to watch the execution?
A very attractive CD. Were the mormons aware? I haven't heard anything from "The Church" concerning their views on crossdressing. I live in Utah so they are predominant and try their best to govern the state. I did have a long chat with two missionaries while "enfemme" and nothing was said or asked concerning my crossdressing. Maybe to test them out I will visit a LDS church dressed in something provocative.
Well... hes an actor... not a real crossdresser.... so what would the mormons care?

Going to church crossdressed? Not so much a problem. Going to church dressed provocatively? That won't fly - but that goes for everyone - not only crossdressing people.
I don't think he reprised his role as a CD to do the church ad.... As i belive, he did it as the man he is... no drag in church...
