Mancow Muller
As a youth he appeared in over 100 stage performances, with one notable long-running role being that of Billy Ray Jr. in the play "On Golden Pond". During one performance of the play, famous actor Henry Fonda was in the audience, and would later go on to play the lead character Norman in the film version. Erich Muller attended multiple schools in the Kansas City area, including Blue Ridge Christian School. In his book "Dad, Dames, Demons, and a Dwarf: My Trip Down Freedom Road", he recounts an incident in fifth grade where, in an act of corporal punishment, he was severely beaten with a board by the school principal, an event that changed his outlook on organized religion. Muller transferred to the suburban Harrisonville school district, where he graduated high school.
