Van Hughes is, and the fact that I know that about a random (but awesome) Hairspray ensemble member makes me fear a little for my mental health.

He was born in the Philippines, but I believe Jose Llana grew up in VA.

Jose Llana did indeed come from VA, from the fabulous Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology. Go figure.
