I've been informed that Carl Anderson, who has famously played the role of Judas Iscariot in JCS for the past 29 years or so has passed on. It's sad day for the Anderson fan. 
He will be very missed. His talent was absolutely extraordinary and quite inspiring.
There's a light in the darkness of everybody's life.

I just saw the very sad news, I am so sorry.
I was lucky enough to meet Carl Anderson along with Ted Neely who appeared in a tour production of "JSC", reprising their film roles of Judas and Jesus!
A great voice has been silenced....I guess Carl has finally met the real Jesus, IMO.
May peace be with you Carl Anderson.
Love,

There is a curious paradox that no one can explain;
Who understands the secret of the reaping of the grain,
Who understands why spring is born out of winter's laboring pain,
Or why we all must die a bit before we grow again.

Posted: 2/23/04 at 10:12pmIt seems to have been a deathly winter. Even I lost someone close to me. Spring cannot come soon enough.
