Posted: 6/9/05 at 12:22pmHe plays Signor Naccarelli and I just realized that he is in one of my favorite movie, Election (with another broadway favorite Matthew Broderick!!!!!!). He played Dave, the teacher who has the affair with Tracy Flick/Reese Witherspoon. He's got a great voice, and it would appear that this is his Broadway debut, so what way to make a debut!!!!!!

Posted: 6/9/05 at 12:24pmMr. Harelik has been a regular here in SoCal for some time (especially at SCR, where last year he gave a riveting performance as Cyrano, and also originated De Vere in THE BEARD OF AVON.) We are VERY happy to see him have this opportunity - and he aquits himself wonderfully, I might add!

He is very nice in person too.
I think he was amazing in Piazza - especially in the scene before Let's Walk.

Posted: 6/10/05 at 12:49pmYes, ditto about being a really nice guy. The last time I went at the stage door, I think I mentioned maybe to another fan or maybe him, I don't quite rememeber that it was the 2nd time I saw the show and he was very interested in anything I noticed that was different. I felt bad b/c I really didn't, but I told him the experience I got out of it and things I noticed were different. And then we briefly talked about how amazing the orchestra is.

When I first saw Mark's name a while back in the press release announcing that he was going to do Piazza, I had to think to myself what I knew him from. I finally did a Google search and, with an "oh, of course!" palm slap to the forehead, I realized that I'd only seen him many a time as Helen Chappel's love interest, Davis, on one of my favorite sitcoms, Wings.
Ok, give me grief if you like, but I happen to like Wings. It's one of very few TV shows that I do like.
Anyway, knock 'em dead, Davis Lynch--er, Mark!
Oh, I also realized he was also the obnoxious tennis lothario, Milos, on a really funny Seinfeld episode.

Posted: 6/11/05 at 11:48pmSuch a talented actor. I've seen him in a couple of plays off-Broadway (as well as in movies and tv) and he's always been first-rate in a great range of roles. I was hoping he might snag a Tony nod this year for PIAZZA (he did get a nomination from the Outer Critics Circle), but it's nice that he's getting noticed in a high profile acclaimed production. I wish him the best.

Posted: 6/12/05 at 12:58amHe's also Spencer Kayden's husband...and he was in the movie Eulogy as the husband who didn't speak. He's really cool.

How sad is it that I recognized him from Star Trek...
I come from a trekkie family :0)

Posted: 11/18/05 at 10:43amI just saw him on this week's "Gilmore Girls" (11/15) :) It looks like this could be a recurring role as he's now Rory's boss.

Posted: 11/18/05 at 11:06amELECTION! That's where I know him from! It was killing me the entire time I was watching Piazza. I guess I could have opened my Playbill and looked. I love Election.
re: Mark Harelik in Piazza......#14
Posted: 11/18/05 at 12:07pmTook me a few moments to recognize him, sans mustache, on Gilmore Girls this week - he's a really good performer - I hope his career is long and successful.

I knew he looked familiar! I couldn't place him at the time though.

Posted: 11/18/05 at 3:25pmHe's a very talented actor...just keep him away from writing musicals. THE IMMIGRANT was deadly boring.
