I know this isn't technically about a show, but he is a Broadway performer. Did anyone see him on Kelly and Michael this morning? They surprised him with ex-girlfriends and he was so genuinely excited to be reconnected with them. Seems like such a nice guy!

I'm assuming this is what the OP is referring to...

"...They surprised him with ex-girlfriends..."

Seriously??! Why would they do that? Isn't he married?

Art has a double face, of expression and illusion.

What sounds disturbing? Is he NOT a nice guy? He said once you hit 60, you just want to reconnect with people from your past and his wife can't complain because she had all her exes at their wedding. It was funny.

I'm sad he didn't marry Sandy, because I would laugh about Mandy and Sandy Patinkin for all eternity.

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain. -Kad

I think Patti Patinkin sounds even worse, so we can be glad about that, too.

He has publicly admitted he was a very angry actor for many years but as he has gotten older he has changed his tune and supposedly is very nice now.

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

He had been looking for both women, and while he reconnected with one, timing had kept them from getting together. He went on to say how he used his FBI connections to find his college gal pal but to no avail.

It really was a very sweet suprise and a lovely segment.

I've never met Patinkin, but I have friends who have worked with him. They described him as aloof because he was so obsessively focussed on the character he was playing, but nobody I know suggested he was deliberately cruel or intentionally difficult.

Hmmmm....I think Toni Collette (If I remember the story correctly) as well as a number of TV shows would have a different opinion. But, yes, I beleive all the stories come from his method acting/intensity of approach; however, that doesn't excuse poor behavior.

Well, Toni Collette is a goddess in my book, so whatever she said, I believe her.

Didn't he get fired from Heartburn for giving Meryl Streep acting notes?

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
