Posted: 1/22/06 at 1:02pmFor some inexplicable (totally didn't spell that right?..) reason I always knew about him but wasn't crazy about him. 'Till now. I'm on the bridge of psychoticness...(didn't spell that correctly either...) I can't be the only one.

Posted: 1/22/06 at 1:21pmwhen i first started working on broadway shows, in the mid 90's, i kept seeing this guy at every opening night i went to and practically every show i went to. just looking at him, i knew he was somebody but i had no idea who. at one party we were standing next to each other at the bar and i just blurted out (so i'd had a few scotches), "i see you everywhere, who the hell are you?" he laughed and said, "i was just thinking the same thing. i'm victor garber." being new to broadway, that meant absolutely nothing to me and obviously the alcohol allowed my eyes to betray that fact. he kindly said, "i'm an actor." we had a nice chat and then i went home and googled him when i sobered up. very nice guy, good actor too.

Posted: 1/22/06 at 1:33pmPapa, I so thought that sentence was going to end "he kindly said, "I'm an actor." we had a nice chat and then i went home...WITH HIM."
PEACE.

I've always enjoyed his work.
The best Anthony in any production of "Sweeney Todd".
Very funny in "Noises Off" and "Lend me A Tenor".
Very Good in "Arcadia" and "Art".
Don't watch "Alias" and was not too fond of him in the movie version of "Godspell" but then again, I was not really fond of anyone in that disaster of a movie.

That's a bridge you crossed many many miles ago.

Posted: 1/22/06 at 1:37pmI agree with Sueleen. That would have been a much nicer story.
#13Victor Garber
Posted: 1/22/06 at 1:38pmI was standing right next to him outside the theatre for Jersey Boys right before I went to the show a couple weeks ago. He wasn't going to the show, but he was just hanging out and talking to some people outside the theatre.

Posted: 1/22/06 at 2:23pmDon't forget his work in Titanic, the movie.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I adore Victor Garber. He was in one of the first Broadway shows I saw in the 70's - a revival of Tartuffe at Circle in the Square. The production was amazing with John Wood, Patricia Elliot, Mildred Dunnock, Tammy Grimes and in smaller but fun parts Victor Garber and Swoozie Kurtz among others.
I've been a fan of his ever since.

Posted: 1/22/06 at 6:20pmHe's an amazingly skilled and versatile actor - and there's something about him I find really sexy - not sure what it is.

Quiet manner - very good way of putting it.
He just seems like a very smart, nice, passionate man - and he has aged very well. I wouldn't mind spending a night or two with him
