For the fans... Will Chase is featured in this month's "People Are Talking About" section in Vogue.
Snippets from the article:
If the slacker hero of High Fidelity, Nick Hornby's iconic 1995 novel about records, relationships, and top-five lists, were to come up with a list of five fictional characters least likely to burst into song, he might well give himself a place at the top. But that's exactly what 36-year-old Will Chase will be doing as Rob in the new musical adaptation of High Fidelity, which arrives on Broadway this month. "It's fun, in a twisted way," says Chase of playing the record-shop owner whose girlfriend, Laura (Jenn Colella), leaves him, setting off a quest to understand his dismal romantic history.
...
"It's an evening about a guy's journey from not being able to be in a committed relationship to kind of being in a committed relationship, but that can be a most eventful thing."
...
Chase's first encounter with Rob came a year ago, when he was asked to join a read-through. "There were three days of rehearsal," he recalls. "You don't know what you're doing; then you put it onstage at the end and think Oh my God, this is good." It turns out the anxieties of an actor aren't all that different from those of the lovelorn suitor. "I knew they were going to see a number of people for this role," Chase says. "I was trying to be calm. I sat around for a few months. When I finally got the call, I was like, 'Yes!' It was like getting Laura back and winning the lottery all on the same day."

I was just playing, Emcee!
Anyway, I agree that it's not a particularly wonderful picture of him, but I thought it captured the character well.
