The Funhouse : Carnival barkers all played by same actor

Carnival barkers all played by same actor

Just curious if anyone knows why all three carnival barkers (freak show, peep show, and funhouse) were played by the same actor, Kevin Conway. I have to confess that I didn't somehow catch onto that the first time I saw it - it took a second look before I realized it was the same man in all roles. Were we meant to accept him as three different human beings who perhaps were related, or were the filmmakers intending to show that there was one overtaxed carny with three jobs?

Either way, I liked it. "Alive, alive, alive...!"

Re: Carnival barkers all played by same actor

Apparently, playing all three roles was the only way Kevin Conway would accept being in the movie. I don't think it's the same character, however (though that would be hilarious), as they have slightly different hairstyles and outfits. Still made it kind of confusing though.
