Ontario FC fighter to be featured on Degrassi.

Editorial by Paul Huntington

Ontario Fight Club fighter Kermit “The Frog” Earlandson (2-2) will be featured in an upcoming episode of Degrassi: The Next Generation. Earlandson will play a fight promoter of an underground fight club in an issue that deals with the dangers of unregulated fighting, which has seen a surge in recent years among young people. The episode will also deal with the issue of testosterone replacement therapy. In a recent interview, Earlandson has said “I am super psyched about the opportunity to be on Degrassi. I was really surprised to learn that I am younger than half the cast of that show, I guess I just look mature for my age. I am hoping being on Degrassi will do for my career what it did for the rapper Drake’s career.” When asked if this will take away from his time training and if he was considering more acting roles, Earlandson said “Right now I am concentrating on fighting, but if the opportunity came, I would totally leave this to be an actor.” This will not be Earlandson’s first time acting, stating it has been a passion of his ever since he was young. Earlandson was in the drama club in high school and had a lead role in his school’s production of ‘Rent’ senior year. “Acting is a big part of the reason I got into fighting, I had to fight because the jocks were constantly picking on me for being involved in the drama club in high school, having a name like Kermit did not help the situation either”.
