I really hated him.
He could definately sing the role- I mean, he could hit the notes very well (or at least, it seemed so to me... I can't tell when someone sings in the wrong key, so don't take my word for it).
But he had a slight lisp- I don't know if he really has one, or if he thought it was something Mark would have. I really couldn't understand him well.
He also didn't use his camera well (you never even noticed he had it until Happy New Year when he was messing around w/it, and then you forgot about it again). This really bothered and upset my mom, who is obsessed w/the way Andy Meeks uses his camera. :-P
And he was very stiff. ESPECIALLY in La Vie Boheme. He barely did any choreography. And, in La Vie Boheme B, he just kind of stood on the front of the stage and said his lines.
And, in my opinion, he played Mark as a real loser. I was hoping Roger WOULD hit him in Goodbye Love.
But that's just me. It is true that he could have been MUCH worse, but I also found that he left a LOT to be desired.
"I mean, how many of us could honestly say that at one time or another he hasn't set fire to some great public building?"
