Who was that young boy on TONYS?

He announced his name and them introduced a segment. He may have been maybe 12 or 13 years old and was like a mini Tommy Tune. He just gave me the heebie jeebies. Was there no agent or manager to tell him how to conduct himself. Yeesch !

I was wondering who the hell that kid was too. I kept wondering if he was one of the Banks' boys from MARY POPPINS.

He's MARK INDELICATO -- star of Ugly Betty (he plays her nephew) -- he & his Ugly Betty character are HUGE Broadway fans, he even performed an entire number from Hairspray on an episode earlier this year. His character is loved & embraced by his family on the show just for being himself. Frankly, I find it wonderfully refreshing to see how totally accepted this kid can be these days... How awesome that he can be HIMSELF!

Good for him. Has he been on Broadway?

That scene in Ugly Betty where he's doing the Hairspray number on the subway was classic! I was so happy to see him tonight and it's great that a such a mainstream, popular show is constantly bringing Broadway into its world.

Yes, and to what will most likely be a limited career.

He's great on Ugly Betty. His "Something's Coming" in the season finale was definitely one of the high points of the season

Wow. You must feel good about yourself, passing judgment on a 12 year old boy who was merely introducing a segment.

He hasn't been on Broadway, but judging by his performing on 'Ugly Betty', he will be. Oh he will be. *nods firmly*

I thought putting him into the show was really an inspired choice. Way to think outside the box.

God I wish that they had let him open the show with "Good Morning Baltimore". It would have been the best performance of the night.

"God I wish that they had let him open the show with "Good Morning Baltimore". It would have been the best performance of the night."

That would have been excellent. They could have at least intorduced him since not everyone watches Ugly Betty. Or they could have had him replicate thta subway scene with a different song to introduce one of the musical numbers. What a wasted opportuninyt on behalf of the producers of the Tonys.

Congratulations to whomever thought of this!
Great idea to have him on the Tonys.
(He seemed a little nervous).

He was amusing. As much as I dislike Spring Awakening, Zach Braff's introduction to it was my second favorite of the evening. My favorite, of course, was John Kander's standing ovation before "Show People."

Was there no agent or manager to tell him how to conduct himself.

What was wrong with how he was conducting himself? Was it the swearing? The nudity? The way he gave Bernadette Peters the finger? Or was it simply because he didn't butch it up?

Kringas I believe he was expected to be unable to read a teleprompter, look as if he had slept in his tuxedo and misprouncing a nominee's name. The rest of the male presenters got all that right.

Consider this:

How BRAVE for a 12 year old to portray an obviously gay character on a primetime show. Gay or not, he risks being typed so early in his career not to mention facing his peers in school and at home.

How DARING for a network to take the risk of having a pre-teen gay KID on a primetime show. Certainly a risk for the network who daily must face the Morality Police - the same ones who shut down "The Book of Daniel".

Bravo to both!

P.S. Let's not forget how talented he is. His performance on Ugly Betty is realistic and sensitive. He is being well trained. His voice will only grow and mature. I see him to one day be a fine singer.

Do I hear some Homophobia on the board here with some of the nasty remarks about him?

J'adore Mark Indelicato- he's like the one person who wasn't at the rehearsal who I wondered about where he'd be, what he'd be doing, etc. because I didn't hear his name mentioned anywhere at rehearsals either. He was too cute.
