The Official Adam Pascal Love thread — Page 697

If you don't mind my asking, what do you do, Chloe?

What do you mean 'blew the diva thing'? She didn't make him sound nasty.

Emcee, it does make sense in a nice, nonsensical way.

Right, that's what I meant. Though every once in a while I come across someone online (never one of his colleagues) who seems to absolutely hate him for no discernible reason, so it was nice to come across what Susan had to say.

I work in film post-production sound, which I enjoy very much, but it's sporadic free-lance work, rather than a steady job.

Those types pop up a lot, and there are more than a few on this board. They just... hate for no reason. I've given up even trying to run to his defense. I did it more for my personal sanity, but still. There's no changing minds.

There you are!

That's okay, Nia! No need to start slapping yourself around.

Well, I didn't mean people I've actually met. I have worked on one of his projects, but just wasn't paying that much attention at the time. I do recall a musician saying Adam could sing anything, but that's about it. I was referring to things I've come across online, like at CB and the Aida board.

I think part of it is backlash - when a performer attracts people who really love him, those who just don't see it start wanting to put him down. And with Adam you have the additional factor which Emcee was talking about a little while ago, the fact that he doesn't put up with snarkiness. I'll bet some Renthead non-fans of his have approached him thinking that their attitude didn't show, but a sensitive person like him would know what they felt and react accordingly. Then they think he's being arrogant.

As far as that certain BWW poster, with him it seems to be professional jealousy by proxy.

That's how I'm going to make it on Broadway. Just like Adam!

Nia -- QM lives to snark . I'm sure she'll make time to visit and get that out of her system once in a while.

"He HATES that Adam just got all of these big leading roles without having to work his way through the ranks first"

That's mere perception, in any case. I remember reading an interview with Raul Esparza, where he was asked which role he thought launched him to the spotlight. Instead of naming a specific role, Raul listed a bunch of auditions he did which he didn't succeed in. His point was that it took a huge effort, of constantly being out there, auditioning, meeting people, being willing to try a lot of stuff, that made him successful -- that it wasn't just one role, per se. Adam's route might have been slightly different, but I presume he worked just as hard to get to where he is now.

"In the USA you can have your say
You can set your goals
And seize the day
You've been give the freedom to work your way
To the head of the line
To the head of the line"

Everyone who does it gets to the top somehow, and it's your right to do it. Adam got a lucky break, but he kept working to keep his place.

*stakes out bww for QM* I need some quality sarcasm.

And Adam had a lot of unsuccessful auditions too.

::realizes a total lack in the area of sarcasm::

The crooked lamp bit made me laugh more than I think it was intended to. That makes me sad.

"Well, the empty shot glass is disapointed... it wanted a song."

That's what I love about you, Nia.

Me too, that's why I stuck with quoting Nia.
