Posted: 2/15/06 at 11:32pmYeah, I get it now, lol. I didn't think you actually hated him- he's too amazifying! I am itching to see Company now... I need to see this man live (legally)!

Posted: 2/15/06 at 11:41pmLOL! I love that shirt. And I especially love that there are also pictures of Michael Cerveris and Denis O'Hare wearing that shirt. I actually asked Michael about that shirt cause I was so damn curious. I think he had blocked it out of his memory because it took him the longest time to remember it. Then he said it was in the Tony gift basket and they wanted the nominees to wear it. He sad it was the *only* time he ever wore it, and I'm guessing that's the case with Raul as well. It's too bad, too. I think it's a cute shirt!

Posted: 2/15/06 at 11:44pmI didn't know Adam is on the Tony committee...

Posted: 2/16/06 at 12:32amI totally love the shirt pictures, hah! It's awesome that you found out the story behind them, Chrys. Kind of an odd nominee gift.

I agree, here have a shirt that screams "We're here and we're queer!" I felt stupid for asking, but I had been wondering for a while. The first face looks like Raul is saying "OH MY GOD!" In the second pic, it looks like he's saying "Aaaaaah! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!" *giggles* Frankly, I'm glad it was one of the gifts! These pictures have amused me to no end!

I think that may be the only really unattractive shirt I've ever seen him wear, and he has this "What the hell?, get it away from me!" look about the whole thing.

Heh. My grandma has an enbroidered table runner that looks exactly like that shirt.
And Raul's acting skills are definitely not being put to use in his reaction to that shirt.

Maybe he's not acting and he's just THAT shocked.

Posted: 2/16/06 at 10:37amOh, I bet people standing around were laughing so hard at the site of those men in that shirt.

That's what I meant, Em. The shirt is so horrific that even Tony nominees can't hide their true feelings.

Yeah, I love how he can't even pretend to like it. It's just that bad.
As an aside, watermarked pictures make me sad.

Variety gave Find Me Guilty what seems to be a fairly positive review: http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117929652?categoryid=1263&cs=1
Raul is only mentioned as being the guy who shoots him in the beginning. I hope he's in scenes besides just that one... but anyway, maybe at least we won't have to sit through a dreadful movie to see him.

Ahhh, I love that shirt. You know he loves it to. After all, it shows off his *distinctive assests*.

Posted: 2/17/06 at 3:31pmSo, if it turned out that Raúl was only in the first scene, and the movie was less than attention getting, would you pay the money to get into the theater and leave after his scene?
#617re: The Official Raúl E. Esparza 'Spread the Love' Thread, part two
Posted: 2/17/06 at 3:32pmWhy, is he only in the first scene?
#618re: The Official Raúl E. Esparza 'Spread the Love' Thread, part two
Posted: 2/17/06 at 3:34pmI doubt it. It would seem really, really random for his character just to make an appearance in the first scene to shoot him and then not be seen again.

Posted: 2/17/06 at 5:53pmI still swear I saw him on the witness stand. But, I am kinda spacey sometimes...

I don't even think Adam would wear something quite that bad.
Anyway, regarding the watermarks: Em, you're in touch with the a-p.com owner, right? She has photos from GettyImages sans watermarks on her site, so perhaps you could get a username/password from her.

I totally giggled at the Raul one.
The Adam one made me laugh, too.
Yeah, I know...
#623re: The Official Raúl E. Esparza 'Spread the Love' Thread, part two
Posted: 2/17/06 at 8:37pmThe Adam one made me roll my eyes, and the Raul one gave me such a knot in my stomach. Like, I know that people DO know and that it's obvious and whatnot, but really, whose responsibility is it to do that? I know I shouldn't be protective and care and whatever, but it just irks me, when it's something so personal.
