Apparently, Matt Morrison was an early member of this late-90s boy band.

WHAAAAAT?
Yes, he was. They were comprised of the "losers" (the people who didn't make the final cut) from the first Making the Band. Matt was added later on I think, but he wasn't in the final lineup either. I think that was around the time he was in Footloose.

Yes. He was in LMNT and yes he was added later. If I recall correctly, he originally turned down Rocky Horror to pursue the band but he had left the band by the time he joined Rocky Horror as part of the final cast.
Hydrogen, Helium, Boron, Phosphorus ect. ect. ect.
So which one was Matt Morrison?
I'd guess Boron.
Oh LMNT.
"It's hereeeeeeee, it's now
Open your eyes and see it
Right here, right now
Open your eyes to loveeeeeeee"
He's got the typical boy-bander look. I think it's hilarious that second article tells people that he sleeps with a stuffed Curious George. How much you wanna bet some fangirl is gonna buy him one now?
He replaced a then unknown Jeremy Piven who was
*drumroll please*
MERCURY
sorry, I couldn't resist, waaaaay too easy
whats an LMNT?
Le Mutant Ninja Turtles.
I believe Matt portrayed Leonardo.
When I first saw 'Marci X', I marvelled (and was slightly perturbed) at how convincing Matt was at playing a boyband member. THen I found out about LMNT and it all fell into place. XD

who cares, this old news, when he's now in "glee"?
which got picked up, so away stays he
there's a void on the boards
a tred that's not trod
this old boy band is cold
so this topic is odd
may he earn a nice stash
and return, save his cash
and begin a new page
on his true home
our stage
Stop.

I tried to figure it out, ansd all I could come up with was "Les Miz Natioanl Tour".
Ikaika! Does anyone remember him and how his brother was like you can't be in O-Town?
Oh my GOD, I remember this band, vaguely. I lived w/ a boy band stalker in college (and I don't use the word stalker as hyperbole). I could never get around the fact that LMNT didn't stand for anything, but is pronounced "Element." I just couldn't understand why and she got mad every time I asked "Is that their initials?" "Is there some hidden meaning?" "Come ON it can't just be a weird way to spell element."
Glad he found something else to do.
^As did I. They opened for Britney Spears in 2001. It was rather amusing how the crowd didn't enjoy them. I didn't realize till much later that he was there.
Matt spoke about having a fight with Ikaika in an interview I did with him way back when. Something about camera men having to pull them apart at a Macy's shoot. Perhaps thats why/when he left the band.

Seems like Matt has landed the perfect role for himself in "GLEE". The premise of the show sounds interesting and considering it's produced/written by the NIP TUCK guy, I'd imagine there'd be some potential there. In any event, it will sure put him on the map, especially since it'll be following American Idol. I sure hope we haven't lost him from Broadway forever ! Good Luck Matt !
