Wouldn't Sebastian Arcelus be PERFECT as Emmet!
#1Wouldn't Sebastian Arcelus be PERFECT as Emmet!
Posted: 6/30/08 at 11:39pmI think that the next Emmet in Legally Blonde should be Sebstian Arcelus. He would be great. He is not gorgeous but he is cute in his own way much like Christian Borle which Emmet should be. He is funny and as a great voice, all the qualities an Emmet should have. Please respond, I want to hear views and maybe better casting than Sebastian.

Posted: 6/30/08 at 11:41pmSure, if you want an Emmet that reads in his late 30's.

Posted: 6/30/08 at 11:47pmKFed = The ultimate Emmett. Can't you just imagine 'Chip on your Shoulder?'

Posted: 7/1/08 at 4:37amI am NOT anti-Sebastian. In fact I am in love with the man. I just don't think he should waste his talent on that show.

Posted: 7/1/08 at 6:55amHe doesn't read as young as Christian Borle does, and to be perfectly frank, I don't think he'd be very good in that role. I didn't like him as Fiyero at all, either, though I hear he's quite good in Jersey Boys. He didn't have the classic good looks for Fiyero, nor does he possess Emmet's rugged sexuality.

And I didn't like him as Mark in 'Rent', seeming too smarmy and self-assured for the bundle of neuroses that is our narrator. ^_^

For some reason....
I thought it was SA as Emmet Honeycut for the new QAF musical :)
Please help me win my SF online audition and I will vote for you if you decide to join.

Borle exudes rugged sexuality?
And, on the contrary, I think Arcelus does read younger than Borle on-stage.
I enjoy a quirky Emmett, and I haven't yet seen that quality from Arcelus. I'm sure he could handle the role, though.

Posted: 7/1/08 at 12:14pmDane Cook would be IDEAL!!!

Posted: 7/1/08 at 1:31pmI wish they would just bump up Bryce Ryness. He's fantastic. If they were stunt casting I think Lee Pace would be a great Emmett.

Posted: 7/1/08 at 1:41pmBryce is leaving LB to do Hair. His last show is Sunday. So, no bumping up for him.
#21re: Wouldn't Sebastian Arcelus be PERFECT as Emmet!
Posted: 7/1/08 at 2:04pmI think he would be good, he does look older than Christian a times. I just don't think he would do it.

Posted: 7/1/08 at 2:12pmWhy would Arcelus leave a smash hit show to take over a role in a moderate hit unless he absolutely had to?
#24re: Wouldn't Sebastian Arcelus be PERFECT as Emmet!
Posted: 7/1/08 at 2:16pmIf Dane Cook was in this show, he'd try flipping a nut into his mouth off of his penis. (I've heard about him doing this during his standup)
