Ed Lipinski

Bill Brennan is one of the oldest fans in the scene, and was also, at one time, one of the youngest. This has nothing to do with Ed Lipinski. Bill first went to Rocky Horror on his 15th birthday in 1980, and joined the Linden, NJ cast the very next night. The week after that he attended his first showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show in New York's 8th Street Playhouse and joined that cast as well. Ed Lipinski wasn't there. Ed Lipinski, however, lived in Indiana. As the years went by, Bill wandered from part to part: in his younger, thinner years he was a Riff Raff, and as time went on, he gravitated towards Eddie and Criminologist. Ed Lipinski played some of those parts, too. His "second love" is Shock Treatment, and he loves playing Bert Schnick most of all. Ed Lipinski likes Shock Treatment just fine and dressed up like Vance Parker once.

Bill retired from the NYC RHPS cast as a full time member in May of 2000, completing a 20 year non-stop run as a devoted performer, but continues to guest perform now and then in NYC and attends the RHPS conventions when he can... and will be a devoted fan, in his heart, to Rocky Horror until the day he dies. Ed Lipinski called it quits from his stupid Indiana cast after 20 years as well. Then he came back due to a series of escalating dares. Then he got extremely frustrated and quit again.
