Nathan Lane was born in 1956... he should be taken off the list I guess...

You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl

"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor

"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl

"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

Seriously. Not only a 'wtf' to anyone who thinks Jonathan Groff is the greatest musical theater actor of the generation, but Groff got up to "do not vote" before Stokes was even mentioned?! That's pathetic, y'all.

Well, to be fair Em, Stokes was born in the 50s, though I still don't understand the significance of the year 1960 to this contest.

John Raitt
Richard Kiley
Rex Harrison
Robert Preston
Alfred Drake
Ray Bolger
Bert Lahr
Zero Mostel
Jerry Orbach
Joel Grey
Ben Vereen
Len Cariou
Tommy Tune
George Hearn
Mandy Patinkin
Brian Stokes Mitchell
Boyd Gaines
Nathan Lane
... and Jonathan Groff.

Bahahahahahaaaa!

He's not eligible? That's ridiculous. He's so very much of this generation. IMO anyway. 1960 seems sort of arbitrary, and to skew too young.

Emcee and Actr this is a contest to determine the greatest actor of this generation. I would agree that there are some grey hairs born all the way back in the 50s that qualify as an actor for this generation, maybe the age rule should be bumped back a decade. I guess the question is, is this a contest to declare the best actor for this generation or the best actor born in this generation?
