Posted: 4/13/08 at 5:27pmBrian does has rather light skin, and I suppose under the right light it could look lighter. And they do have similar facial structure. But no, they're not related.

you didn't know who Brian Stokes Mitchell was, before this thread?
and that he is a famous African-American Broadway performer and played an African-American in RAGTIME?

After all, they DO have the same last name.
You know, like Hunter Foster and Sutton Foster.
People with the same name are sometimes related.
Aren't they?

No I didn't know who Brian was before this video, I'm still relatively new to Broadway and though I know of the show Ragtime I don't know enough to assume that someone starring in it is African American.
I wouldn't have assumed they were related if it weren't for the similar facial structure and the fact that their voices are alike as well.

Duh... but Hunter and Sutton are married (which explains the shared last name) AND they're both caucasian.

That's OK....
Brian I know, but I could not have picked Jerry out of a Police Lineup before seeing him on that crappy "Step Up and Dance" Show!
HAHA!
Good for him!
Now He has name AND face recognition!!

Though Sutton and Christian have been separated for several months, they have yet to divorce.

There's always the "brother from another mother" scenario.
Either way, those are two of the most pleasant guys I have ever seen interviewed.

I could definitely see how you might think they were related.

"And Sutton and Christian are separated? When did that happen?"
Fall of 2007
they are seperated and will get legally divorced (eventually), but the reason has never been confirmed.
the rumor is that Christian slept with Laura. Sutton found out, of course, and slept with Roger Bart as revenge. They seperated after all of that drama.
Of course none of it is confirmed but it's widely known, in the Industry, that this is the reason why.

Posted: 4/13/08 at 11:51pmjust thought i'd throw this out there, brian stokes mitchell is biracial so the question of him being related to jerry is not totally out of left field.

Shh if you and your alter ego want to pollute this board with your repeated bs and "inside knowledge" try not to be ridiculous. If you want to taken seriously at all, please don't start a thread pretending not to know one of the most well known male Broadway actors as opposed to Jerry Mitchell who, as said best by Dancin thru life:
"Brian I know, but I could not have picked Jerry out of a Police Lineup before seeing him on that crappy "Step Up and Dance" Show!
HAHA!"
