Thanks for the kudos about the Ginger quote. I was reading last month's issue of Biography magazine and they did an entire spread about legendary actresses, and that quote was under Ginger's story and picture. I just loved the quote because it's quite true, :)
Anyway, back to the subject...another great, great actor is Shuler Hensley! I was just blown away by his performance in Oklahoma. I was so happy when he won the Tony.
mebice, sorry it took me a while to get back to you... hopefully you'll see this. I got it from the Cabaret website, Cabaret-54.com.
Another vote for Tom Hewitt. Don't know if Michael McCarthy counts, but he did close Les Miz on Broadway.
Raul Esparza, Taye Diggs, Micheal Cerveris, Brian D'arcy James, Norm Lewis, Robert Westenberg, Norbert Leo Butz, Gavin Creel ... those are a few of my favorites.

Douglas Sills was great in Pimpernel, but I think he's ill suited (or ill-directed) in Little Shop
Chuck Wagner and Dave Clemmons were the best Javer-Valjean (respectively) team I've seen.
Kevin Kline (would love to see him in Witches of Eastwick)
James Barbour
Leo Norbert Butz is consistantly good and versatile
Anthony Crivello
The man who played Leo in the national tour of Parade (can't think of his name, but I've seen him on a couple of episodes of Law and Order) He was amazing!
Sam Harris (The best Joseph) Good as long as the MD can keep his R&B ornamentations at a minimum
Jai Rodriguez (Actor, Singer, Dancer, TV Show Personality)
I like him not only for his amazingly good looks, I love the energy he brings to a stage which is imperative (im into acting myself) he just has this aura about him that just blows people away. I am also a huge fan of his budding music career. He has released a single called "Love is Good" and is currently recording his debut album.

These 2 were great also, but I only heard them once, in Broadway in Bryant Park:
John Cudia (Raoul, Phantom of the Opera)
Richard Blake (Link, Hairspray)

Alright, I'll bite my tongue and just pick one.....
John Dossett. He's taleted, cute and amazingly sweet and personable. He's always been one of my favorite people.

I love all these guys but I love Norbert Leo Butz the most! His voice is so unique!
Michael Cerveris.... above and beyond. So incredibly talented, versatile, and the nicest man I have ever met. I cannot wait to see him in something else, hopefully soon!
Also:
Denis O'Hare
James Barbour
(yes, I love my assassins)
Douglas Sills, he has such a powerful voice and presence!
"Ok, anyone like any broadway actors besides their "good looks"?"
I saw hugh panaro in phantom and loved him in that...only afterwards did I see his headshot...so yeah...I liked him before I saw what he looked like.
Hugh Jackman, Gregg Edelman (in some roles), Stokes, Mark Jacoby, Victor Garber, James Naughton, Jerry Orbach, Jeff McCarthy, Roger Bart, Anthony Rapp.
ABSOLUTELY MARC KUDISCH.
I'm also fond of Christian Borle, Victor Garber, Neil Patrick Harris, and Taye Diggs.
