Sean Hayes living on Avenue Q?

On the OBC of Avenue Q the character of Rod sounds very similar - in voice and vernacular - to Sean's character, Jack in 'Will and Grace'. I was just thinking he would make a great Rod.
I know it wouldn't be appropriate for him to play it because he needs to further prove that he isn't a one trick pony. (I say 'further' because he was excellent playing against type in the Indie hit 'Pieces of April')
For purely selfish reasons, I'd love to see him play Rod, he would be amazing!

p.s. I also think that Ann Harda (Christmas Eve) sounds very similar to Judy Garland when singing 'The More You Ruv Someone')

Sean on Broadway. I'd love it. I wouldn't hold your breath for a campy or gay role for Mr.Hayes. Just as Megan is avoiding gay camp like the plague. These folks need to build a versatile body of work and are looking for more diverse pieces.

"(I say 'further' because he was excellent playing against type in the Indie hit 'Pieces of April')"

I think he was horrible in that. He never got into the character.

I read this title as "Helen Hayes living on Avenue Q" and was confused on so many levels.

I think he'd do a nice job.

That was the intention: Ann is supposed to sound Judy-esque, or at very least torch singer-esque.

Sean Hayes does need to be on Broadway. Like now.

He woyldn't be a one trick pony, because he'd be playing Princeton too!

Thanks! Is the thin layer of homophobia on this board just in my mind?

Not just on the board, on the boards as well.

This thred has been on my mind today...

How is being gay, being a 1 trick pony? Most actors play straight characters...are they one trick ponies? Or what about a black actor?
