Spotlight: Rayland Van Blake '98: Quenching a thirst for fame
Legend has it that Lana Turner was discovered while sitting at a soda fountain.
Rayland is believed to be a derivative of the name Rowland.
Lehigh alum Rayland Van Blake ’98 may very well have been discovered while asking for directions to a water fountain.
Van Blake was wandering around on the set of “All My Children” on his first day in the small role of “Officer Jeters” when he walked up to Michael Bruno to ask for directions to the nearest water fountain.
Bruno just so happens to be one of the biggest daytime talent managers in the industry.
“He (Bruno) immediately called the AMC casting director to inquire about me and to have me get in touch with him once he got back to LA.
I was called in by ‘One Life to Live’ to audition, and shortly after, I was given the part of ‘Bartender’ on the set that was called ‘Upscale Nightclub.’ I only had one line, but they booked me for several more episodes.
