Why Does Daphne Rubin Vega Keep Getting Work?

Daphne Rubin Vega is amazing....

give in.

I've tried my best to give in for 10 plus years with this woman. Unless she gets acting lessons and vocal surgery, I doubt I'll get giving in anytime soon.

you know, I'm a fan of Daphne. I like her.
I am aware that she is not everyone's favorite.
And I can see the reasons why...

She must be great at auditioning.
I'm sure she still has to....

That's why she gets cast.
She auditions, and a casting director likes her...the process begins...she's cast. That's it.

You just have to accept the fact that people see something in her that you don't. Thats all.

I think she is fine actress. I still remember how smouldering she was in Anna in the Tropics.

I don't "get" Neil Patrick Harris. His work has never impressed me much.. and sometimes his performances down right annoy me. Still, people pay to see him work. Go figure.

To each his own.

Shut up.

No, I'm serious.

LOLZOMG

It kind of was. And I'm kind of sorry. But I felt BobbyBubby was being kind of mean, too, so... well, it seemed like a good idea at the time...

Well, to be fair to keely, Bobby was acting as if this was common opinion.

Also, he said he "just watched" the performance, which means it must been one of "those" videos, which means his opinion on that performance is invalid. If you didn't see it live, it's not fair to comment on it.

^ EXACTLY!

There are performers whom i don't get, either. I don't get Natalie Portman--why does she get work? Bridget Moynahan, too? That scary-looking dude in that new "Burn" or whatever miniseries on cable? Laura Bell Bundy, geez, she scares the holy crap out of me.

To each his or her own.

I don't get why there has to be more than one thread about the same issue created by the same person.
Daphne Rubin-Vega has a very unique voice. No, it's not to everyone's taste and that's okay. But to say that it's absurd she keeps getting work is well...absurd. She has the ability to make a song her own, to add her touch to every note she performs, and she doesn't sing, she performs. When you hear her do a number she always sounds 100% committed to each lyric and to the music as well. That is why she keeps getting worked.
If you've listened to her heart-wrenching Martirio in BERNARDA ALBA or to her fun "Out Tonight" (and I am one of RENT's biggest detractors so it has nothing to do with being a Rent-head), you would know why she keeps getting cast in New York shows.
