 Blackinton played the role of Loeb, and names a kissing scene he had to do in the show as one of the worst, least believable performances of his acting career.While in college, Blackinton had a minor role in a short educational film entitled "Credit Card Monster", in which he played a talk show host discussing the top ten dangers of credit card usage.Perhaps Blackinton's most notable performance in college was when he portrayed the difficult role of Victor Emmanuel Chandebise in the French farce, "A Flea in Her Ear".
