Ok, so I was talking to some girls in my television aesthetics and criticism class on Tuesday about Rent. One of the things we were talking about was adjusting our minds when we see different people play roles that we've only seen one person play. Let me give y'all an example, before my Rent: Live on Broadway dvd arrived a couple of weeks ago, I had only seen one other person play Mark, and that was Anthony Rapp. Adam Kantor was the very talented actor who closed Mark on Broadway. I thought Adam an amazing job as Mark, the one thing that took some getting used to was the fact that Adam didn't have the whole blonde hair/blue eyes thing going on the way that Anthony does. I told the girls and they agreed that seeing someone play a role that you've long since associated with one actor takes some getting used too. Another thing that took me by suprise with the whole Rent thing when I first started watching it was the fact that Jesse L. Martin could sing. I didn't know this mainly because I never got to see him play Collins on Broadway (I was 10 years old when they opened), and I had long since associated Jesse as hard-core Detective Green from Law and Order.
Well thats my daily dose of non-sense for today! Have a great-one!
