Dentists are talented individuals, at least that’s what we think here at The Wealthy Dentist, and it seems Hollywood may agree.
The Piedmont Journal is reporting that Piedmont, California dentist, Dr. Staley Colvert has a role in the new Footloose movie as one of the stale city council members who refuses to let the city boy dance and play that terrible, corrupting rock music.
He’s been a part-time actor ever since he turned 40 and attended a play at Northeast State College in Tennessee. Now that he’s 60 he gets to play a lot of businessmen and politicians.
The Footloose courthouse scenes featuring dentist Colvert were filmed in Covington, Ga. — the same courthouse used in the late 1980’s television series “In the Heat of the Night.”
Between caring for his dental patients and managing his dental practice, Dr. Colvert continues to audition for acting roles. Besides Zac Effron, he’s acted with Dennis Quaid and Andie MacDowell.
Now how many dentists can say that?
