I wonder if, since the television appearance financial constraints wouldn't hold true for something like Stars in the Alley, they wouldn't take the opportunity to give some of the other cast members a little bit of exposure.

I can't think of a group of actors who deserve the exposure more than the COMPANY cast. Love them all!

yeah - it would be great if they could do Have I Got a Girl For You and give the guys a little spotlight

have you guys seen the vid of Raul backstage at the Drama Desks? I wish I could have seen Carol Burnett play Joanne

I hope so!

It is a tremedous relief to find a picture of Raul in the news again - this time (Monday night again) at the Theatre Wing gala. Very nice tux! My seal of approval.

ETA: The photographer was having a great time positioning the logo in these photos. It ends up looking like angel wings or, in Raul's case, a party hat!

And hopefully we can all sleep better because of this news... lol.

I'm off to go find the pictures!

He's been an amazingly busy man lately.

I should probably dig out another Raul avatar as a show solidarity for the approaching Tonys.

Those pictures all have a strange hue to them, too - dont they?

I generally find tuxes a little ridiculous-looking (on most men, anyway), but Raul is one of the few people I've ever seen who can pull them off really well.

If that's your reaction after barely a week in between public appearances (nevermind that he's in a show 8 times a week and has to, I dunno, sleep once and awhile), it'll be difficult to survive when Company closes, he's not doing anything and there are months in between events.

Sleep is good. Not having been to bed pre-3:30 in I don't KNOW how long, I attest to the wonder of sleep.

I miss sleep.

I suppose I should get in the spirit and put up a Raul/Company avatar soon.

But I love Colbert too much.

Emcess, as much as I love Raul, you should keep your Colbert avatar for a little while longer. It's so funny, I love the Report.

re: The Official Raúl E. Esparza 'Spread the Love' Thread, Part 3

Posted: 6/5/07 at 5:23pm

I love him. And The Report.

And I have a huge problem because I think he's incredibly sexy and I haven't yet figured out what that's about.

It's probably his truthiness. And because he's really American.

#267

re: The Official Raúl E. Esparza 'Spread the Love' Thread, Part 3

Posted: 6/5/07 at 5:32pm

I think it's also his willingness to be silly. And he's so CONFIDENT in his silliness, that you're just like "man, that's adorable." He's a good-looking guy, but it's so not that. And he's smart. AND HE CAN DANCE.

I need to get some sleep. Alas, I have to deal with my broken internet eventually, but not until hauling downtown for the second time today to sit through a meeting that I'm really not in the mood to go to. I'm praying it's short. Because then I have to come home and write a paper.

I actually love the look of a well-fitted tuxedo. I bet Colbert has one, too.

Orange - I forgot to put up a sarcasm alert on that Raul sighting posting.

And em - finish that paper and get some sleep. Tomorrow is your independence day!

I am watching the debates tonight, looking out for a small remnant of truthiness.

My response was sarcastic as well. I'm just thinking of the Adam thread and how we're reduced to discussing hairstyles and fashion tragedies from years ago because he's given us nothing better to discuss in months.

Thanks, skittles. I've been meaning to watch that again.

While we're on the subject, there's definitely something about Stewart as well, but I'm not going to go into that.

Raul does look lovely in that tux.
I wonder who he's bringing to the Tonys.

I don't think TDS is as funny as TCR, but I definitely see Jon Stewart's charm.

What Colbert/Stewart fanfiction?

Colbert AND Raul discussion on the same thread! Heavenly.
