AVClub: What if, at the end of the 19th century, all of Earth’s most brilliant scientists and inventors started disappearing? In April And The Extraordinary World, what happens is that a mostly steam-powered, rapidly industrializing culture quickly exhausts the coal supply, such that by the 1930s the most powerful nations are fighting over North America’s lumber. By then, Europe has become a smoky, clanking dystopia, with cityscapes dominated by looming metal towers, connecting the massive cable-car lines that run across the continent. To get from Paris to Berlin through the skies takes 82 hours, once passengers depart from the docking station mounted between The City Of Light’s twin Eiffel Towers. And if the travelers are certified geniuses, they should beware. They could be zapped at any time by the mysterious black cloud that’s still rolling around the planet, picking off the smart people.
FYIG writes: "FYIG recently had the opportunity to talk to actor, Tod Fennell, about working on The Division as well as some of his recent projects in film and animation. Read on to find out more about Tod’s journey in acting and what the future holds for him!"
