Life With Bananas

originally posted: 12/03/01

Brought to you by Theatrical Sensation Derek Prestly, talking about what he wanted for breakfast. He meant Life cereal, I'm sure, but think about it. A lot of people would settle for plain Life, but not Derek. He wants his Life with Bananas.

And he's got it. Although he's still in junior high, his acting resume is already as long as the Taliban section of Santa's "naughty" list. This is a kid who did a stand-up comedy routine for the school talent show . . . when he was 6. And provided his own rimshots on a small snare drum. Since then he's had roles in numerous children's theater productions and one or two at the grown-up level as well. Derek appears in the Tim Allen comedy "Joe Somebody," opening Dec. 21 at a theater near you.
