Of all the wonderful moments in Midnight Madness, perhaps my favorite is the reveal of Game Master Leon.

Erupting from roll-up movie screen to a chorus shouting his name in a mix of disdain and revelation, it gives an audience member the queasy feeling that they are watching a sequel.

Why does everyone know Leon except for me?

Leon, oddly enough, was played by a Mr. Alan Solomon, whose acting career never quite made it past the first check-in.  He did, however, pursue his love of games working behind the scenes on such shows as Card Sharks, Love Connection and Illinois Instant Riches.  No, I'm not kidding.
