Posted: 7/14/10 at 2:27pmHeh. There was one of him performing (with straw boater in hand), but it was sideways and I guess they couldn't figure out how to make it vertical so they just removed it.

That's "Cuban Cabby," I believe.

OMG, the poor guy looks a little bit like Mel Gibson there. I mean the pre-break Mel Gibson.
The TV show makes me want to brush up on my limited Spanish. Is it me or are they talking very fast? I love it in the first part when Lucie is looking into Raul's eyes and he says, "Ola, preciosa." [Spelling approximate, very approximate]

Posted: 7/14/10 at 6:55pmListening to native speakers of any language (Raul's first language is Spanish) when you aren't one yourself can often make it seem like they're speaking very fast, when often, it's actually no faster than we do in everyday English. It's usually just an illusion. And if someone didn't know English, our speech in daily life would sound very fast to them, too.

lol, skittles. Thanks for waiting until the morning to post that.
um, pretty sure that's part of the costume. Unless Raul is now Broadway star moonlighting as a gangster. (Yes, I know he usually wears a cross, etc., but look at the other pictures; that thing is enormous.)

Posted: 7/15/10 at 11:04amI knew about it a while ago, but not by way of anything official. I'm pretty sure it's in his updated bio?

Yeah, its in his credits in the press release for Leap of Faith. But I think that's the first time its been mentioned publicly.

Posted: 7/22/10 at 10:07pmDefinitely NOT a song I was waiting to hear him sing.

Oh man, Kecia Lewis-Evans is awesome. I'm assuming she's playing the mother/lead singer part that Lillias White did a bit ago. Woman can SING.
Caught me way the hell off guard to see that logo on the home screen though, geez.

Love, love, love Raul Espárza. Such a handsome, talented man. He is a source of great pride for us in the Latino community. I'm looking forward to his next project: LEAP OF FAITH. Here's hoping to another success for him and (hopefully) a Tony WIN!!

Posted: 7/23/10 at 9:16amNicholas Barasch looks like a young Ron Howard! Anyone know if he was in the last NY workshop/presentation?

Posted: 7/23/10 at 7:01pmYes he was. He's really cute. He was also in West Side Story.
