If you live to be 80 years old … your odds of being struck by lightning once, are roughly 1 in 12,000. The odds of being struck twice? Well, now you’re looking at about 1 in 9,000,000!
However, in the case of Roy Cleveland Sullivan … these odds did not apply!
Now, while you’ve likely never heard of Mr. Sullivan … his story is truly unbelievable!
Sullivan served as a US Park Ranger at Shenandoah National Park in Virginia.
Over the span of 35 years (1942 to 1977) … Roy was struck by lightning – a total of 7 different times.
And … as improbable as it was … he lived to tell each tale!
Sadly … while he managed to survive 7 bolts of lightning … he ultimately met his demise by virtue of a self-inflicted gun-shot wound.
So … what does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role?
Nothing really.
That said … if you’ve got what it takes to perform in this role … you may have just caught lightning in a bottle!
