Boris Parker

Boris Joseph Parker (16 September 1972 - 1 July 2022) was a Jonathian actor, comedian, and playwright. He was primarily known for playing the character Technoblade in the JBC-TCA television series Dream. Parker is also lesser known for a play he wrote for performance at the Memorial Hall in his hometown.
Parker was born on September 16th, 1972, and resided in Hertford, in Leafland, for the majority of his childhood. He took up a job of acting after graduating from the Aridillo Performing Arts University, with his first appearance being in the comedy show Coralcoats as a background character. His performances were noticed by 4NET, who requested he play a main role in the sitcom Pennies for the Poor, which first aired in 1997. It was around this time Parker began dating Fleur Kirkman, a production assistant working for 4NET. Parker then married her two years later.
Parker enjoyed a lukewarm acting career entering the twenty-first century. The cancellation of Pennies for the Poor in 2010 sent Parker on a spiral of acting roles, starring in multiple television shows across multiple networks, before finally landing in 2016 on the program Alan Parker & Friends, hosted by Alan Parker - despite having the same last name, Boris Parker and Alan Parker were not related. It was through Alan Parker that Boris Parker would receive his most well-known acting role - starring as the character Technoblade in the JBC-TCA television series Dream. Parker's portrayal of the character was widely praised by television critics. Parker also played multiple characters in Dream's television series, Tales from the SMP.
Parker died on July 1st, 2022, after a half-year-long battle with cancer. His death caused a flood of tributes across social media, while many of his co-stars from both Dream and Pennies for the Poor posted their remarks about the late actor. Upon news of his death, TCA blacked out their social media branding in respect, while JBC flew the Jonathian flag at half-mast outside their headquarters in Jetzeburg.
