I don't know if you guys have heard but it turns out that Christopher Fitzgerald isn't really a leprechaun.

Oh I know, he's an actor and all but it seems like a really bad casting decision, imo.

If we're not careful about such practices soon they'll be casting African American actors as Dominicans and then where will it stop?

Whites as Asians? Harvey Fierstein as a woman?

You are kidding?

Next thing you will be saying was Lestat was not really a vampire.

Our dear long lost VM Linnie SHOULD be the one playing Fitzgerald's part, but oh, the discrimination! The discrimination!

If this means Sweeney Todd is really a vegetarian or that Alice Ripley is not bipolar I'm outta here.

I don't know. During his BC/EFA speech a few weeks ago, he told us he was part leprechaun. He also said he had a cousin who worked in Santa's workshop.

Aw, c'mon - you know they just started that scurrilous rumor to get some media attention.
