Jeff Baker (b. 1971 in Baltimore, MD) has been involved with Rocky Horror since his ex took him to a showing at Golden Ring Mall Movies in Oct 1989. The show was sold out. Not knowing anything about the show, he sat in the back row. He wasn't devirginized and didn't participate in the pre-show activities. Since the movie played every Friday and Saturday night, Jeff returned to see the show week after week. After a brief break, he returned and joined the cast, Midnight (Midnite) Express playing Brad. Soon after, he and his ex became cast leaders and split up the cast into 2 groups. Castle Transylvanians was born. Sadly, that show closed on Nov 6, 1992.
