Photo Coverage: John Lloyd Young's Birthday Party — Page 3

am a big fan of John, and have been since the show opened, more than many people can say, and I can kind of agree that he is everywhere, but I would never EVER call him fake. The guy ran himself into the ground before the Tony's by doing every single thing humanly possible and it wasn't because he is some smug attention-craving jerk but because he is a genuinely nice guy who is dedicated to his show and fans

But, with all due respect, how do you know that? I'm more posiing a general qustion here and this is by no means an attack. I often hear people on here talk about how they "know" someone is/isn't "like that." Clearly, there are people here who actually socialize/interact/work with with these people so that's how they "know" someone's personality. But if you're not really a part of their day to day life and don't interact with them when they're not promoting their show or performing...how can you possibly "know" someone?


As for all the events and appearances he did before the Tony's.....that's somewhat self-serving since he gets the oppostunity to campaign for himself by pressing the flesh and kissing babies an all that. Not to say he's not talented or nice or anything...I just don't get an ounce of charisma from him when he talks.

WHO CARES WTF JLY DOES?! Seriously, this is not on par with anything real at all. If this is as big as it's going to get for him (which is quite likely), why begrudge the man? Why? I really want to know. There are so many people who are in every single photo on BWW, on Broadway.com, etc... that's what you DO when you are climbing the celebrity ladder. At least he has talent and deserves what little he's getting. Get over it and talk about something that actually is known around the globe, like why the F*ck no one told Britney to take the gum out of her mouth before talking to poor Matt Lauer. At least more than 15 people would know what/who you were talking about.

Thanks Al for your comments which although we've often not seen eye to eye, I agree with.

LotsWife - I'm not going to even respond to your comments. You can reread my previous post about the subject matter. But "no names" at his party? Either you're not in the industry or don't want to be (but regardless) making blanket comments which are insulting to the ones in the photos.

All the theater sites support and "document" various events and subject matter. Some you might like, some you might now. Different Strokes for different folks. But no one should attempt to speak for everyone by saying NO one cares. Clearly even the naysayers do or they wouldn't be so quick to post in this thread (or others).

When you truly don't care about something - you don't spend energy or time arguing for or against.

There are thousands of subjects, topics, threads, etc that I couldn't care less about. I don't click on them nor would I think of posting my opinion how much I don't care about it.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I just got in from a walk in the park - I encourage you to get out and enjoy the sunshine :)

"I found the Nightline (or whatever national evening news program) feature where he was "Person of the Week" was ridiculous. Person of the week? C'mon. More like Person of the Really Slow News Week."


Didn't he work for ABC News as a transcriptionist?

I figured that's the reason he got ABC "Person of the Week." Here was a struggling actor and low-level former employee who went on to win the most prestigious award in his field. Obviously, some people at ABC remembered that he used to work there and thought it was an interesting success story.

Besides, most of the PotW are not famous.

MOXIEINTHECITY... I guess I have no way of literally knowing minus the fact he takes incredible amounts of his own personal time to talk to and email his fans, people that, in the grand scheme of things, don't matter all that much. They don't vote for the Tony's and if he chose to ignore them would still go to see the show. If you've ever met him you could easily tell that he is not like that. He does not avoid fans like other performers and actually helped me, personally, out one day. He just is a REALLY nice guy, I'm sure Craig could vouch for that. I've met him multiple times, both in and out of the stage door setting, and he is the same each time. There is nothing fake about him IMO...

he is 30.

I am sick of eveyone picking on him, what in the world has he done wrong? just leave him alone.

I think it is the same reason why people hate the Yankees... everyone just hates the best!

Kidding... well only kind of!

I'm saying where were his other 3 co-stars? Don't you think they would have been invited? Or shouldn't they have been invited?

"I'm saying where were his other 3 co-stars? Don't you think they would have been invited? Or shouldn't they have been invited?"

Oh Ok yeah I was think the same thing.

"I think its wrong that hes getting so much attention. I think he's fake. His tony speach was terrible. He's an attention whore...and even needs press at his birthday party. Get rid of this guy..please."

An actor that is an attention whore???? I can't even imagine that!

He is not cold at all.

The guy is very nice, I dont know that he is in person but I know that he is on e-mail. I think he was just in a bad mood in the video with christian, everyone has there days.

I'm sure he is. Just saying he rubbed me the wrong way.
