Erik Altemus As Rocky

---

"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Erik is cute as a button and very talented, but isn't he a little... undernourished for Rocky?

Not denying his appeal, but that's just good lighting and a good angle with a professional photog. He's actually tiny.

This is the production that played last year with The Skivvies as Brad and Janet, right?

Have you met Erik? He's not 6'2" nut he is not tiny. And lighting and a good photographer can't do ALL that.

Yes, i have met him. I wouldn't call him "tiny."

And he will be fine in that role.

Yes - the Skivvies - but only Nick will be in this production this time. Lauren has another conflicting gig.

Nothing "tiny" about him. You must be confusing him with the current Lewis or Andrew Keenan Bolger.

God you guys are thick. I know the dude works out and looks good. I'm not saying he's "tiny" for his lean look, but that he's - relatively when compared to other actors who have played the part - tiny for this character. The dude has a yoga body, not a "Rocky" body. Anyway, this got unnecessarily dragged out. He's cute, funny and charming, I'm sure he'll do just fine.

Calm down. He's just saying that the typical Rocky is a bodybuilder type big or a football player. Erik is a little hipster for Rocky but I'm sure he'll be fine.

We're thick? You are the one who said he was "tiny" (which is laughable), then explained what you meant after insulting us. We aren't the thick ones here.

I wish people would keep the original subject line. Kind of odd.

@ brucebossa - I uploaded that. LOL. I had it as my avatar for awhile (which offended some because of it's raciness- if they only knew the other pictures I had of him! LOL)

I LOVE erik, but he is tiny. By that, I mean he is small built. he is in no way scrawny- the boy has a killer bod. he just has a very small frame/bone structure. I have stood side by side with him and we are about the same size/height. He has a swimmer/dancer type body- I think generally the casting for Rocky has been actors with a bigger upper body- big biceps and such. This is interesting casting and I can't wait to see it or a least pictures of him in the role!

Working on getting lodging and or ride for this. I used to live right across the street from the BCPH. Cannot wait to see this. Love Erik. Miss him as Lewis.

When Rocky first appears--the reaction from the audience is supposed to be---open mouth, exhale of breath, tongue out and a little moisture[anywhere].

It's all about sexuality/sensuality with Erik, not size. I am sure he will make it work.

OOPS..Forgot to Rock a 'y'

Here's the original Rocky, Rayner Bourton. Rather slender and toned, and not at all the beefcake of later versions.

Much rather see a bulge in a tight pair of gold short shorts than naked.
