Taye Diggs on Will & Grace — Page 3

I wasn't referring so much to Taye's acting ability as a gay dude. I just want to know what it would have taken for some viewers to be convinced he was gay, or any other actor portraying a gay dude.

And to answer someone else's question, yes, a friend of mine is mailing me a DVD recording of this episode. I'm sure you've got a friend somewhere out there who may have TiVoed it... or just wait for it to rerun on UPN or over summer :)

Agreed, ray-andallthatjazz86, regarding cup-to-head gag

EugLoven, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to offend you or anyone else by saying that Taye never convinced me that he was gay. It was more me commenting on his acting than anything else. I meant more that I never saw him show genuine interest in Will as anything more than just an interesting conversation.

I suppose to convince us he could actually sh*g Eric. I think that would convince / excite (delete as appropriate) me. Hahaha!

I also thought is was a VERY funny episode. However, I agree that the characters (as usually happens in long running sitcoms) have become characatures. If you see "Karen" in the first few episodes and "Karen" now, it's like watching the cartoon version of the original. At least it's not as bad as Friends became, though.

I'm sure he does if it's in the showers after the game.

Hey everyone, I recorded "Will and Grace" .. the entire episode w/ taye diggs last night. I have a mint copy on VHS if anyone needs a copy.. PM or e-mail :chloebelladonna@aol.com for details.. Thanks!

I had no idea Taye was going to be on the show. What a nice surprise that was! I thought he was pretty good; whatever his acting lacked in the episode, he definitely made up for it by looking delicious.

"i had it on in the background and only saw certain parts.
what caused the equity line?"

Rosario says she played Gretl in the El Salvador First National Production of The Sound of Music and Karen sighs and says "oh Roro - I would've paid five chickens to see that" and Rosario just looks at her and says "it was an Equity production, you white, racist, bitch."

wonderful.

EMO_GEEK & ROWERS UNITE - I have a VHS of this that I can copy for you no charge - PM me and lemme know...

I have to say, Taye disappointed me in Wicked - he seemed (as he's so charming and sexy in his movies) that he'd be a great Fiyero but he was really stiff. I always attributed it to him not being an actor for bigger theatres because he's so realistic it doesn't read unless on film or in a blackbox space. I thought he was excellent in Kevin Hill (so disappointed it got cancelled - that was my show!), and looooved him in Go! I think he's just...he's got to be really right for a part, and there are certain things he does well and just really fits into, but he's not someone you can throw any material at and expect him to wow you with it. I certainly don't think that's a bad thing it's just....there's a vast difference between his strengths and his less than, y'know? I feel like I'm the same type of performer so I don't mean that in an insulting way at all...

Hopefully he'll get to a place where he has enough clout to be really picky about what projects he does and can really focus on doing what caters to his strengths.

I also loved the equity line. I love it when they throw jokes for us theater-lovers on Will & Grace, I notice they've been doing it a lot lately.

I was never a "Grace Adler" fan, loving Jack, Karen and Will, sbut she was very funny in this episode. Her "singing" is really funny. How about when she knocked the kid off her lap.

As for Taye Diggs, he is absolutely gorgeous. I have a feeling the show will end with Grace and Will just being alone together. I rather see them with a mate, but the whole concept of the show was about their friendship and need for each other.
