Aww man, I have an 8:30 class tomorrow and as soon as someone asked for a tally I couldn't resist.
pleased to say at this point Greg Jbara has received the most mentions--15..understandably so as he won the BWW award for nicest actor.
He was followed closely by John Tartaglia with 12, Sutton with 9, and Steph Block and Megan Hilty with 8 each.
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli

Posted: 8/2/05 at 9:51amIt would only be right to have Greg and Sutton to be the male and female with the most votes, they both one nices actor/actress in the contest before! lol. Oh and yeah, Hugh Jackman is a sweetheart! He hugged me more than a year ago, and I'm still on cloud 9.

Posted: 8/2/05 at 10:10amShoshana is a kiss ass. She's only nice when ther are 200 scremaing people in her face, catch her before the show and watch out, shes a monster!

Posted: 8/2/05 at 10:16amThat seems harsh. I haven't been to the Wicked stagedoor, but I've met her at other events and there were far from "200 screaming people" around, and she was very nice.

Posted: 8/2/05 at 10:21amMaybe that's because unless you're told to, you shouldn't bother an actor before the show.
#109re: Really Nice Actors

Katie Finneran was the most wonderful person I've encountered at a stage door. When my pen died after one of her last performances of "Noises Off!", she actually knelt down on the sidewalk and rummaged through her backpack looking for one. I was floored by her genuineness and friendliness.
Also Kate Jennings Grant and Stephen Kunken were absolutely wonderful at the stage door of "Proof." Anne Heche was also nice, but distant and Len Cariou didn't want to seem bothered with the two of us waiting at the door.

Oh and I forgot to mention:
Peter Gallagher at that same performance barrelled out of the stage door with such high energy and acted as though everyone there had been his friends for years. Such a great guy.

Daniel Torres (I had been e-mailing with him, and he remembered me and brought up stuff I had said in e-mails .... and took time even though he had about 15 girls around him to talk to me) Not to mention unbelievably nice.
Andy Karl - super sweet ... always smiling, and funny funny
Scott Porter - Such a sweetie, and kept laughing with me about my shirt/gigantic Sharpie.
David Josefsberg - also soo sweet, and made it a point to tell me he saw me in the audience ... and was very proud of himself, haha.
And they were all so sweet, and spoke to you personally, had huge smiles on their faces .. and commented on my C is for Crunk shirt.
