I'm back, and I think I've got a way to make some copies of the A&E thing this morning. But before we get into that, Adam is in the NY Times today, the Long Island section. It probably only comes with papers out here on the Island, but I wanted to give you all a chance to at least look for it. It's a half page article on p. 12 of that section.

*looks around* I'm on the island...now who's got an NY times that I can steal?!

It's about him being from LI and his career to date. Here are some excerpts:

When Adam Pascal talks about his career in entertainment, he often knocks on wood.

"I've been extremely fortunate," he said recently, knocking on a wooden coffee table... "I started out playing in a rock band and for a long time didn't feel comfortable calling myself an actor, but after having success in various genres I came to the conclusion that I didn't have to call myself anything. My experiences as a musician, an actor and a producer have been extremely validating, and people can call me anything they want and that's OK."

[He says that in contrast to the kids in choir or doing high school plays] "...I was one of the guys who smoked cigarettes in the courtyard, hung out behind Geico, where we rode our dirt bikes, and traveled around playing battles of the bands."

[They talk about how he got into Rent and after that]... "I still thought of myself as a musician and resisted being identified as an actor. But I didn't have much luck with record deals, so I started going out on auditions. It was a time of self-discovery."

Just as he was about to give up and get a "real job," Mr. Pascal said, he landed the starring role in Aida...

[Then they get into Cabaret and the Rent movie - all stuff we've heard before - and about how Syosset High where he and Idina went has a number of show biz grads]...

But Mr. Pascal said that of all his roles, the one that has been the most fulfilling is that of husband and father to his two sons, now 4 and 2.

"In Hollywood, nothing is permanent, but this is a role that is forever," he said.

And what if his children want to become actors?

"I would dissuade them," he said emphatically. "It's an emotionally draining, self-esteem-wrecking business. But while damaging to the psyche, the fates nudged me in this direction. This was my calling, and it's what I'm meant to do."

Thanks, Chloe!

Oh, I found some more animated Brian/Justin icons, but, um, they're too racy for BWW, methinks.

There's the publicity still from Finale B with the six of them, and a shot of him from the interview in a black jacket and one of those very busy shirts he has.

And no, nothing about moving.

hehehe. Busy shirts.

Do you have a scanner, Chloe?

---

I checked, but I can't find it. Maybe later it'll be there.

---

Ugh, the search feature is asking me if I want to look for death notices. *kicks it*

Luv, go buy one!

---

I wanna see a scan. I'm happy that it doesn't say anthing else about him moving to California.
