Billy Crudup

Posted: 5/15/05 at 11:02pm

Somehow it passed my knowledge that he is currently on Broadway.


He's one of my favorite actors, how is he?

I thought he was wonderful in the show (Pillowman). I know people thought the actor who performed the same role in London was better, but since Billy was the only one I saw I have no one to compare him too. That being said, I enjoyed his performance. He is a doll at the stage door too!

I've never seen him in anything before, and I became an instant fan of his after this show. The Pillowman is def my favorite play on Broadway now. It's not like anything I've ever seen.

He is giving (IMHO) the best male performance on Broadway in THE PILLOWMAN.

I thought he was incredible in the role and am rooting for a Tony win although I think actor will go to Doubt. Looking at him for 2 hours was a pleasant way to spend an evening.

Personally, I think the Tony race is between Bill and Billy. I was astonished by them both and will be happy if either of them win. Billy Crudup really is glorious in Pillowman.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

If Billy doesn't win, I'll be very sad. I have a feeling, though, that James Earl Jones is going to take it. I hope I'm wrong.

I want Billy Crudup to win the Tony. The Pillowman was fascinating. I can't get it out of my head.

Had to laugh when I saw this in The Hippo (I guess you could say it's a NH version of The Voice??) Anyway, they had a little article on the Tonys and some predictions on winners, etc.) Here's what they had to say about lead actor in a play: "My money's on Darth Vader himself, James Earl Jones. As talented as Billy Crudup may be, he still ahs a few years before he can live down leaving his longtime girlfriend Mary-Louise Parker (while 8 months pregnant), who is also nominated this year."

Just thought that was a tad amusing, being in the NH paper! Anyway, having seen all of the nominated performances ( save Jones), I've got to say that I think Billy is the most deserving of the lot. However, I don't think it's going to happen. *fingers crossed*
