Well, Hilty is the only one who was in a comedy play on the panel, so I'm sure that had something to do with it. Benanti and her are the only ones there doing comedies, and it'd be a shame to give her spot to Cusack or Soo or Goldsberry. This Tony season is truly the year of tragedy, no use in trying to lighten it up.
They/them.

The male actor's video is only 10 mins of the conversation. Scott said on Twitter that was all that was available, but the podcast is the full conversation.

These were great! I'm happy the Hollywood Reporter went back to videos and not just the audio of the interviews.
When Leslie Odum Jr. was talking about if a white male was in a show with success equal to Hamilton, they would have many other opportunities lined up after, I instantly thought of Book of Mormon - an incredibly successful show that led to both white males going on to star in their own TV shows (ironically both didn't last more than a season). It's crazy to think that Odum and many of the Hamilton actors will not have these kinds of opportunities simply because there's just not as many roles out there for them.

I was very disappointed not to see Phillipa Soo in this panel. She's had very little press this Tony season so far, especially compared to her castmates. Also, as others have said, she's the only actor of Asian descent to be nominated this season. She could have added to the discussion about diversity, especially since she is not specifically playing a woman of Asian descent, whereas Lupita and Cynthia are playing African and African-American characters, respectively.

The actor one will be released eventually, they just like to spread their releases out over time.

The analogy of the freight train that Erivo, Nyong'o, and Lange build upon is so beautiful. (Starts at 14:00 in the video)
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
