Ben Curtis

Does anyone else have a MAJOR crush on this guy, or is it just me? Not only is he sexy, but he is amazingly funny in an underwritten part in "Joy" off-Broadway.

And now this new interview on Broadwayworld just makes me happy that his life seems to be going so well. However, girlfriend? Boooo. We were all hoping he was gay. Oh, well. I guess the heterosexuals get to win an occasional cute guy.

i really liked this article and him a lot... i too, though, was wondering about his sexuality. he did say when he "was trying to figure out his own sexuality." so maybe he tried guys out? or maybe he's bi? we can always hope touch!

I love Ben Curtis. I actually got to talk about him today in my theater class (Okay, so I was really talking about Joy... but I got to say his name!)

Anyways, I want to see this article now...

*goes off to hunt for it*

I'm glad to learn that so many of you have enjoyed my article about Ben Curtis. He was a pleasure to have dinner with him and an even greater pleasure to write the article. Ben has read it and loved it. He says it's "absolutely incredible".

He's a very nice guy.

Ben is a cutie! He was fabulous in JOY. It was exactly what I needed, intelligent, lighthearted entertainment!

Acting: The art of PRETENDING to be something you are not. People get cast in a part-- Playing say an Irishman. They do a good job. That MUST mean they are Irish.

(See I didn't use the "You don't have to be an axe murderer to play an axe murderer line.)

It sounds like this man has his self sorted out: Supportive of his gay dad, understands the Bisexual thing, questioned his own sexuality, has a girlfriend. SO OF COURSE SINCE HE KISSES A GUY ON STAGE HE'S A BIG OLD CLOSET CASE!

Pa.


Thet.


Ic.


and an extra Ick just for fun.

I've done it.

I think i'll light up one of Ben's joints and crawl under those sheets with them.
He is very good in Joy--great comic timing in a small, throwaway role. It's difficult to determine if he can act. Time will tell.

It sounded like the dell thing didn't bother him, he welcomed the success. But he could just be saying that so he doesn't seem like a jerk... I dunno?

---

All I know is that he is a super-stud.

"Ben Curtis" is not that uncommon a name. The Ben Curtis we are talking about here may not have been your "mate".

I think I'm in love. From a playbill.com article:

Asked if he’s ever "experimented" like his character, Christian, Curtis says, "Absolutely, yeah. I appreciate men just as much as women, but I lean toward the female side." So is it fair to say he’s straight? "Umm … I’d say I’m straight, but I’m open-minded. As Darryl says in the show, ‘I’m straight, but I’m not narrow.’" Curtis, who even dresses in drag in Joy, adds, "I love it. It’s fun to bend ideals about gender." Currently single, he says he had his most romantic date when he was 17. "I blindfolded my girlfriend at night and led her into the woods, where I had a blanket, rose petals, champagne and candles. I played a song I wrote for her, and the rest of the night turned out great."
