The very same. He did indeed act, as did his wife Ania Romaine, who also toured and sang with him as Cherubim - a sort of proto-Sonny and Cher.

I mainly know about his acting career the same way you do, via Google. I knew him personally as a boy, and my memories are those a kid would have. Lately I've been gathering together the recordings he left behind, as well as some film which my dad shot of the two of them performing, with sound on tape that was never properly synched, and another sound film shot to promote Treadway Inns around 1960. I've looked online for other material but there isn't much. I hope sometime to get this in the public domain in some way.

Other stray facts about Seraffyn: he converted to Hinduism, was friends with the late Del Close, his lute was named Gretchen, and his cat would come when you whistled a certain jig.

Thanks Don for your reply. PM
