I admire and respect him muchly (don't remember where I've heard that word, but it's a great word!) because he is openly gay. He has proven that it's possible to be successful in film and theater regardless of your sexual orientations. And the fact that he doesn't hide it and cover it up makes him incredibly and unbelievably cool. He holds a very impressive resume in both theater and TV/Movies.
I've never had the honor of meeting him (I'd probably either faint or die, not sure which would happen first), but I've read reviews of the shows he's been in on the internet and those who have met him have said he's very nice and rather sweet.
He was with RENT from the very first days, the New York Theater Workshop production of RENT in 1994 (I think). He shaped the part of Mark Cohen, and I think through that he related to Jonathan Larson...never mind, do I know what I'm saying? No. But he has done an excellent job, and I wish him all the luck for the future. :)




This has no real value for anything, I just thought it was cute :)
