I love Cheyenne's blog.
That was such a cute video!
I feel bad that Cheyenne's pilot didnt get picked up, but now he can stay on Broadway, yay!

I LOVED his little blurb about Eva Longoria, mainly because I love Eva and I like him a lot. So cute.

Sad to hear about Cheyenne's pilot not getting picked up (though not really surprised), but I do hope that leaves the door open for bigger and better opportunities when his time as Sonny is over. He really is such a sweetheart.

Hands up all of us that tried to smile with our eyes after that Top Model episode!

It's so great to know that he's such a nice person in addition to being talented, gorgeous, funny, and everything else. While sorry that they didn't pick up his tv pilot, am hoping that he continues to do Broadway and environs so that I have more chances to see him. He is a fabulous person.

Cheyenne is a fantastic man.

I'm sorry that his pilot didn't get picked up, but honestly, Hollywood doesn't deserve such a generous, talented performer.

This man can SING like it's nobody's business, and we want him here on Broadway sharing his beauty LIVE on stage eight times a week.

I'm hoping Xanadu can hang on until Tony time. (Definitely, have my fingers crossed.) That's when I'm coming East and really want to see Cheyenne in it.

I'm hoping Cheyenne will be one of those lucky actors that bounce between movies, TV, and Broadway throughout his long and varied career. I'd hate for him to be pidgeon-holed in a role or typecast. It would be a shame if we didn't get to hear his wonderful singing voice because he was contracted to a long run on a TV show.

I'm for one hoping that he DOES land a great gig on a long-running TV program. He can earn for one episode (a week's work) what would take him 2 years of hard working on Broadway (and not even).

At least he can do a Broadway gig during his hiatus period.

The following aren't complaining about their current status on successful TV programs:

Audra McDonald
Kristin Chenoweth
T.R. Knight
Sara Ramirez
Chandra Wilson
Michael C. Hall
Mary Louise Parker

... and all the others I forgot to list.

As Harvey Fierstein has stated many times before -- "... working on Broadway 'sho ain't payin' the bills."

Yes, I understand that. Unfortunately, most of people you've listed haven't been seen on Broadway since their TV gigs.

Selfish wish I know to want him on Broadway, but really I wish Mr. Jackson a long a varied career in whatever milieu it takes.

To be fair, from that list, Kristin Chenoweth, Mary-Louise Parker, and Audra McDonald are always looking to do some kind of theater whenever their TV gigs allow it. Other folks known to TV that always find a chance to go back to their theater roots include Jane Krakowski, Sarah Paulson, Harriet Harris, Victor Garber, and Alec Badlwin.
Either way, I rather see Jackson attempting to make it in the film industry. It is a lot easier for Broadway actors to alternate between film and Broadway rather than TV and Broadway since TV schedules are so strenuous.
