Posted: 5/1/09 at 11:05amSeriously. 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.

Posted: 5/1/09 at 11:16am
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.

Posted: 5/1/09 at 11:19amHe'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.

Posted: 5/1/09 at 1:15pmEmcee 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?
