A struggling actor for years, Jonathan Powers finally got cast as Cyrano de Bergerac in a New York City play, starring with Nancy Foreman. During his poor performance, however, the crowd booed him off-stage and he was fired. The director who fired Powers was James Martin. During his acting career, Powers starred in several other productions that were also major flops. Out on parole, Jester teamed up with Mr. Hyde and Cobra. They stole antique toys from the Guggenheim Museum for him. A humiliating ad about Franklin "Foggy" Nelson started running, showing Foggy getting a pie in the face.
