That's awesome, Mandi.
Maybe Adam shouldn't move to L.A. - he might pick up California speaking habits. He might start saying "like" every other word.
Well long island isn't THAT different in using the word like and such then SoCal.
Mandi, that is awesome!

Mandi that just made my day.
Psssst...
Anyone who didn't get my Breakfast with the Arts PM and is interested it, PM me.
Nice, Mandi. Very nice.
So one of the guys in this play that I just saw reminded me a LOT of Adam. From certain angles, he looked a bit like him, but not the way he does now, if that makes sense -- most like this headshot:
This guy was a very different sort of actor, and lacked that presence Adam has, but some of his mannerisms were frighteningly similar. It definitely took me out a little bit.
And who was the actor? Was this professional or a college thing?
It was an Elizabethan drama -- professional, East Village thing... a Revenger's Tragedy, they call these sorts of plays, written by good old Anonymous.
This guy's name is Matthew Raunch. I tried Googling him and IBDBing him, but I can't find anything, even though he has Broadway and off-Broadway credits.

Wait. That's not Adam?? That was my first avatar! It came up when I googled 'Adam Pascal'. That's really not him??
No, that IS Adam. I saw a play today, and one of the guys looked a LOT like he does in that headshot.
I hate to think of how high school went for someone named Raunch...
Poor guy!
And that got me thinking - typo? Maybe he's really Matthew Rauch, who does come up on google.

Oh, wait. I think that *is* him!
Do you see it, though? Of course, in the production I saw today, his hair was bleached blonde and his facial hair was *just like* that headshot.
I definitely see it - similar nose and eyes. What mannerisms reminded you of Adam?
Hand stuff. Those are Adam's most obvious mannerisms, anyway. Facial expressions, too, which would probably be because they look alike -- there were moments where I'd double take, even though I *knew* this wasn't Adam up there. But yeah, mostly hand gestures.

Oh, ok, good. If someone looked that much like Adam, it would be a little strange.
Found a picture of Rauch in the play. I can definitely see why you reacted the way you did, Emcee.

Jeez. He DOES look like Adam.
Good, I'm not crazy.
