1. Ian Ruskin as Thomas Paine and Nikola Tesla Ted Bonnitt, Phil Proctor 52:45

Actor, writer and social activist, Ian Ruskin trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, and is a veteran of stage and screen. Performing his one man show for audiences around the world, Ian brings to life the stories of remarkable and often misunderstood, true-life heroes, including Nikola Tesla and Thomas Paine.

Thomas Paine, considered the father of the American Revolution, was so despised that his ashes were placed in the heels of shoes worn by English nobility to be walked on. 

Nikola Tesla charged the world with AC electric, never married and had a deep relationship with a female pigeon. 

Just two mind-blowing tidbits we learn about these rule breakers and history makers.
