"Not Dead" Fred

edit

"Not Dead" Fred is a character named only in the Broadway musical Spamalot, and was credited as "Dead Body That Claims It Isn't" in the original film. In the film, he is played by John Young, and in the musical by Christian Borle.

In the film, Not Dead Fred appears in only one scene, towards the beginning. King Arthur and his entourage are in a typical English village; the Black Death has ravaged the lands, and a civic cleaner is travelling through the town uncharismatically shouting "Bring out yer dead", for the villagers to put any Plague-dead bodies on a wagon with him to be carted out. Another villager comes out dragging an old man, saying "here's one." The old man responds by saying "I'm not dead!". The villager insists that the unnamed old man hasn't long to live, despite the protests of the old fellow and the cart driver.

In the musical, the cart driver shouts "Bring out yer dead" with more enthusiasm and only two times. Not Dead Fred is the man who is being carried out to the cart. He is younger than in the film, and less frail; in fact, he begins singing the rousing "I'm Not Dead Yet".

Not Dead Fred's name is only mentioned once, during the end of the song; he is seen saying "I am coming too... my name will be Sir Fred, I'll be ya' musician 'cos I'm not yet dead!" It is possible, given this lyric, that Not Dead Fred becomes Robin's leading Minstrel, as the parts are usually played by the same actor, but there is no direct evidence that the two characters are one man.

Magic:The Gathering notable cards list + sources

Relisting the "notable cards" for replacement in articles - sets listed in reverse chronological order by block. Feel free to update this list, but make sure you source your claims of notability - I'm using these guidelines:

  • an article which describes them as such, or which discusses the card in depth, can be found
  • it was a heavily previewed card (although I'm not suggesting every card previewed is "notable", just stuff like Akroma, Angel of Fury or Damnation - you'll have to use some judgment here, ho ho)
  • the card does something which hadn't been seen in the game before e.g. Lightning Storm having an activated ability on an instant (still, a source should be found describing this sort of thing)
  • It was created through a process involving the fans, such as the You Make the Card or Invitational Winners - this is my suggestion
