Former Gannon University football player Daniel Cudmore has a minor role in “Twilight Saga: New Moon.”

Cudmore plays Felix, one of the Volturi guard, in the new film that’s expected to be one of 2009’s biggest hits. He’ll also appear in “Eclipse,” the third installment of the franchise, next summer.

According to IMDB.com, Cudmore, 28, broke his leg while at Gannon and left the school to return home in Vancouver. He also played Colossus in “X2.” 

 Speaking of actors, Girard’s Marc Blucas – who was serenaded by Train’s Pat Monahan at his summer wedding — will give a talk at Mercyhurst College on Dec. 17 at Walker Recital Hall.

Comedians Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood of improv show “Whose Line Is It, Anyway?” will perform Nov. 30 at Edinboro University’s Cole Auditorium. Tickets are $25 if you get them by Friday; otherwise the price goes up to $30. You can buy them online at www.edinborotickets.com.

Their appearance basically makes Erie a regular Comedy Central in coming weeks. We also have Mike Epps at Bayfront Convention Center on Nov. 29, and sound-effect comedian Michael Winslow at Jr.’s Lat Laugh on Nov. 27-28.

When Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band wrap their American tour at Buffalo’s HSBC Arena on Nov. 22, they’ll play “Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.” in its entirety. They haven’t done that at any other stop, which ought to make for a special show.
