Posted: 4/5/10 at 10:57amIt would be cool if the same photographer who captured 12N so well this summer also did a photo of Raul, Sutton and Donna.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh two days.
I have always liked Hilton Als. Like him even more now. In fact, I cited him in my thesis!

Posted: 4/6/10 at 1:39pmThe end of that got me all misty eyed. Faith over fear.

Posted: 4/6/10 at 6:47pmGreat interview. It's also intersting to hear him speak about this show, given that both it and Leap of Faith have to do with small town miracles and fooling the public.

Posted: 4/10/10 at 1:04amI was at WHISTLE tonight. Raul was his usual incredibly adorable self, onstage and off. He got great audience reactions throughout.

Posted: 4/11/10 at 10:23pmI loved his thin 1960's style tie, and the dark-rimmed glasses.

I don't want to get my hopes up but yessss please please please.
Encores! used to make recordings of their shows almost all the time, and it's a shame they don't anymore. But the reasoning behind why they don't get recorded anymore is pretty complicated, so I assume it would take a lot to get this to happen. I think it SHOULD be recorded and there seem to be a lot of powerful people who feel that way, so hopefully something will work out.

Raul participated in the "Martha Marcy May Marlene" screenplay reading on April 20.

Posted: 4/23/10 at 2:38pmDo we know anything about this screenplay, subject-wise or otherwise? (And, yes, extremely photogenic day for Raul!)

Oh nice! Gee, wouldn't be it great to see him on the big screen--in something that's NOT a horror movie?

Posted: 4/23/10 at 4:58pmWell, he is going to be in LA for a few months (although VERY busy, presumably). I'm still hoping for a GLEE guest shot - that shouldn't take long to produce.

I only recognize one of the actors in those pictures---that Gilmore Girls gal. I thought the guy in the red shirt looked familiar but then realized it was just because he looked like Audrey Tautou. Presumably it's not her.

Yep, that's Alexis Bledel from Gilmore Girls. And in the bottom photo, that's Marin Ireland from reasons to be pretty and Maria Dizzia from In the Next Room.
I have considered starting an official petition for Raul to be like, the hot singing history teacher on Glee. But even though he'll be in LA for a while, I think that is, sadly, extremely wishful thinking.
