Without a doubt, the adorkable Hugh Panaro...partly because I would go to see any show he's a part of. And literally because his site has stolen my spare time.

(ray-zohnn DET-ruh) A basic, essential purpose; a reason to exist: “Professor Naylor argues that in the nuclear age, infantry forces have lost their raison d’être.” From French, meaning “reason for being.”
I can think of no actor who is my "reason for being" - now if you were asking which actor was my reason for wanting to become one, I would have to say Julie Andrews, seeing as how the first film I ever saw on the big screen was The Sound of Music, and I have loved it for 40 years.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"
Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

If Percy Blakeney were in Les Mis....
Percy: Sink me! If it isn't Javvurt!
Javert: Zsah-vair, it's pronounced Zsah-vair.
Pecry: But it's spelled J-A-V-E-R-T Javvurt.
Javert: Repeat after me Zsah...Zsah....
Percy: Oh! Zsa-Zsa! Like the Gabor sister! Well I personally have always prefered Eva.
Javert: (Looks for gun)

If I had to pick one person, I really think it might be Carolee. The things I do for this woman! There are hours of my life I will never get back from seeing Lestat so many times, but it was all worth it for her.
In a way, I live for Patti, I live for Bernadette, I live for my lovely darling Michael Cerveris (maybe him even more than Carolee, I can't really say).
I live for Liza in ways that cannot be expressed.

Keaton, I'd forgotten about Liza! That woman is so bitched about...and she is not what they say she is. Whenever I've seen her interviewed she's got such a down to earth sense of humour...seems so wrong that people try to break her down.
Also, after seeing the Liza With A Z DVD reminded me just how INCREDIBLE she used to be. And she still is to an extent.

Posted: 8/10/06 at 11:49amI guess I should own up. If I had spent all the time I've obsessed over Philip Quast, Denis O'Hare, and my divagoddess Patti doing something productive, I could have taken over the world by now. And I could speak Italian, and play the clarinet.
#71re: Which Actor is Your Raison d'Etre?
Posted: 8/10/06 at 12:08pmAh, Camp_actor, there's the Liza of myth and then there's the Liza of reality. Sometimes they're the same, but most of the time, she isn't anything close to what people make her out to be. From my experience, she's incredibly down to earth. And talented as hell. She's still got it, definitely. :)

Um...redhot...mine is the same story! I guess it is for alot of us.
Julie Andrews. I also consider her my first voice teacher. I was a coloratura before puberty hit!

OOO! Can't forgert Julie! Good call doodlenyc!
And Camp, thanks for bringing up the Liza "controversy". And thanks Keaton for sharing your Liza experience. It helps to have another positive opinion!
