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.

nomdeplume - If I knew what a bouillabaisse was then I'd know how to properly respond. But I don't, so I'm just going to assume that you're telling me you think I'm gorgeous and be done with it.

(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.

Raul is my reason for "Being Aliiiiiiive, Being Aliiiiiive, Being Aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive!!!!" (not really, but I do like him).

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.

I believe that she was calling you GORGEOUS! LoL

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.

I 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.

Ah, 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!
