Raul Esparza
Best Featured Actor in a Play Nominee for The Homecoming
"I just finished a run-through of a workshop of [the new musical] Leap of Faith, so I've been working today. My manager called me and woke me up [with news of the nomination], and I said, 'You're kidding!' I really didn't expect this one. With some [nominations], you kind of feel it in the water; I didn't feel that with this one. When a show's closed, it's 'out of sight, out of mind,' I always figure. But I'm overjoyed. I actually dreamt I hadn't gotten nominated. You try not to care about it too much, but that's ridiculous because it's a really big deal. Company was truly a dream come true, and then I followed that with The Homecoming, which may be the happiest professional experience I've had in New York. It was the kind of show where you went to work and you just felt a peace; there was a real sense of doing a job and doing it well. It's a show where my performance and [nominee] Eve [Best's] performance were entirely supported by, colored by and shaped by the other actors onstage. I've never felt so much like a member of an ensemble in New York where each actor onstage always had your back. It was very special to me."
Heh, I love that he didn't even wake up for them.

Eve looks gorgeous. Cute picture, even if Raul looks a little confused

And of course the sideburns. I think I had forgotten how insane they actually were.

It really looks like he didn't know they were about to take a picture, he just saw everyone together and went over to them just as it was taken.
"Hey guys, wazzup? Oh look, a camera!"
LOL! Seriously, I can't picture Raúl having 'wazzup' in his vocabulary but I love the idea!!

I assume the lapel pins are their nominee pins since all seem to have them.
If Raul gets any thinner, he is going to have to get new headshots.

His hairline is receding? Not sure what the concern is; he looks fine in both.
Oh. Weight. Meh. He's yo-yoed for years; not worth obsessing over. Look a pictures from before Chitty; he was a chunker then too.

OK. Comment withdrawn. I guess I'm cranky because I just spent two and a half hours fighting gridlocked Los Angeles traffic. 
Actually, the hairline didn't bother me at all, because it's not receding, it's an optical illusion caused by the longer hair he's sporting now (I draw the line at calling it "fluffier"
).
But he really cannot afford to lose any more weight.
