After the Link turn down I did not expect to see him again. I liked him alot in SNF though.

Orfeh's not been absent quite as long and I think I can safely say, picked a better vehicle. Now having said that, if Orfeh wasn't in Legally Blonde, it would stand to reason that she'd have been persued for the Kira role.

Al? Really? I love Orfeh too - but I don't see her as Kira at all.

I do not seen Orfeh as Kira AT ALL.

Easy there, I'm going off the fact that Krakowski passed and Orfeh has a similiar type of energy. That coupled with the types of songs that Kira sings. The whole pop thing and the reuniting of she and Carpinello. That's all. It's a completely moot point anyway.

Loved James Carpinello as Tori Spelling's roomate Pete in her short-lived scripted reality show SO NOtoriOUS! I watch that Complete Season 1/Complete Series DVD quite frequently -- totally genius!

I really didn't think anyone would hire him again after he made what was IMO the huge mistake of leaving Hairspray to do the Great Raid. Maybe he's matured since, he is a father now so you never know. I will be seeing this!

Sonny is the male lead (played by Michael Beck in the movie). He's an artist who meets Kira and falls in love with her. He opens up a club called "Xanadu" with Danny (who will be played by Tony Roberts)

I guess Cheyenne passed as well.

I also liked him in the Tori Spelling thing...I did not really care for him in 'Saturday Night Fever' - but then again, there was really nothing I liked in that show.

And Buffyverse fans, he is married to Amy Acker (Fred on 'Angel').
