Are you aged between 13-19? No? That might be why.
I've never heard of him either. Ah well. ^_^

When he was in O-Town he was a teen idol. Not as much anymore but still.
It has not specified in any of the articles how long his run is.

Nobody between the ages of 13-19 would have heard of him. Save a low-rated reality show on MTV, he's been out of the mainstream for five or six years.
I had the misfortune of seeing O-Town do a short set as a part of a larger show about that time (2000 or so). It was absolutely excrutiating. But perhaps they all sang fine alone and just didn't mesh well as a group.

Oh God. If you're going to stunt cast, follow these rules:
a)Bring in somebody that the average person knows.
b)Bring in somebody who is at least slightly talented.
He is neither.
It was awesome. - theaterkid1015

Have you heard his newest album? Ivan bought it shortly after it came out and it's pretty good. I like it.
Plus, he's cute as ****kkkkk.

I remember the reality show where some skeevy manager put O-Town together. I for the life of me, don't remember Ashley though.
I can't remember which pageant they performed on, but they were absolutely horrible.

Posted: 1/3/07 at 7:19pmohh dear, I'm embarrassed to say I remember him (I was in 6th grade when O-town came out...this is sad). I also remember hating that he had a girl's name and thinking he looked a bit like a girl. But you know what? I have NEVER heard him sing and hope he does well in the show. Type wise, he obviously has the Link Look.

I loved O-Town.
I loved There And Back.
I love his album.
He will do very well in the role.
He can sing, dance. I'm sure he can act.
I'm excited for this!
#16re: Teen Idol Ashley Parker Angel Joins Hairspray as Link
Posted: 1/3/07 at 7:29pmWhat makes you think he can act, just based on his singing and dancing ability?

I liked O-Town. I heard this on a thread before a formal announcement was made, and I'm curious to see how he does with this.

I was never really that into O-Town...
I'm not sure how I feel about this.
Has anyone seen him act before? Please don't say "on his show" That reality show didn't count..
I really hope he can act.

Posted: 1/3/07 at 9:35pmI doubt that Ashley Parker Angel is that good. From what I remember, O Town wasn't very good, and neither was his MTV reality show. What's with all these 'teen idols' being in hairspray? First it was Hailey Duff, now this??

Ivan is my fiance of eight months.
I thought everyone would've known about that... I apologize.
Here's our Christmas photo:
Sorry to make this about me.. carry on with the conversation.

I think he'll do great in the role.
An article on MTV.com said that his run will be until April 15th. If this is true, I probably won't get to see him, which I really would have liked to.
As far as him acting, I remember on one season of "Making the Band" he could have played the role Macaulay Culkin had in the movie "Party Monster", but choose to not take that time away from O-Town. Also, according to IMBD, he did some voice acting for video games before O-Town.
