I'm about halfway through it right now.
This man always knocks my socks off - his intelligence and his drive, work ethic and love for what he does are absolutely mind-blowing. He's so eloquent and soft-spoken, I could absolutely listen to him all day long. I learned at the Chatterbox last year that he has absolutely worked his ass off to be where he is, and this is even more serious than that interview was, it goes so much deeper; he's truly unbelievable. He interviews beautifully - so much heart and honesty, emotions on his sleeve. Brilliance.
ETA - oh God, this is the part about TTB. About Daphne telling him he needed to go do it, and about crying over the script, and how he could relate so well to it.
.... he just talked about the performance they did for the OBC of RENT - about he and Adam after the show.
... September 11th.
Is it weird that I'm crying?
Having that poster, signed, about to go up on my wall, and the mental image of him standing next to me looking at it, wondering where I'd managed to dig one up from suddenly mean so much more - now I think I know why he signed it "Raúl E. Esparza 'Jon.'"
There aren't enough things I can say about the wonder that is Raúl - guys, please listen to this. He's such an inspiration, and absolute genius.
A work of art is an invitation to love.
