I'm sure he'll be perfectly sweet. Dooo itttt.

haha. Just say hi and offer to shake his hand, or something. He's kind of timid, so he won't scare you.

He's amazing to talk with if you catch him in a chatty mood. But don't feel bad if he's short or a bit scattered.

He'll be sweet, I'm sure. :)

Sorry about the movie, Em. I think I'll be doing entering all night.

Hi. I have to be quick, but I wanted to pop in.

I hate entering.

Okay, so this is REALLY random, but my friend and I were discussing Raul and parts that he would be... interesing/good in, and we were thinking that he'd be a really hot Phantom, lol. Not to mention the perfect Cat in the Hat.

LOL. I don't know if you guys remember this, but last Spring, just before the Phantom DVD was set to come out, there was an update on Raul's site that said he had auditioned to play the Phantom in the movie, but obviously Gerard Butler got the part over him. The update was to say that Raul's screentest was going to be included in some behind-the-scenes feature on the DVD. There was a link in the update that was supposedly to Amazon's page about the DVD. I didn't click it, because I didn't want to pre-order or anything, and there was no reason not to believe it.

So I got all excied/angry and posted it on BWW. I can't remember if there was an already existing thread, or if I started one, but whatever. Anyway, I was excited to see the screen test, but angry because I was kind of tired of Raul losing out to big stars -- Phantom, apparently, and Anna in the Tropics -- and because hey, he's like 8,000 times better than Gerard Butler.

Then his webmaster, Karen, posts. Turns out if you clicked that link, it was just "APRIL FOOLS!!" And she was all "yeah, sorry. It's just a joke."

Anyway. Yeah. I would like to see him try it.
