18. What is the nicest thing a fan has done for you? On my one year anniversary, a friend/fan sent me a collage with the RENT logo and the phrase "I can't believe a year went by so fast" and numerous flowers. I also got a beautiful Joni Mitchell book of poetry from some sweeties in San Fran. Scariest thing? nothing.. only sweet things.
19. How do you feel about the Rentheads? LOVE 'EM
20. Who are your best friends (in the cast that is)? Erin Keaney, Kamilah Martin, Alan Mingo, Kristoffer Cusick (gone).. but I love everyone
21. If you could play any other role in Rent, who would it be and why? Roger - I like his struggle. Going from point A to point B -- it's a long journey, and I'm sure it's very gratifying.
22. (You've mentioned this before, but I thought since it was so important you could mention it again for us all) What are your thoughts on gun control and gun violence? Briefly, I know that it's impossible to rid the world of all guns, but I think that there can be effective control. Why do we need assault weapons available to anyone? I don't understand.
23. How do you feel about PAX and your PAX mailing list? I feel PAX has the right idea.. the right balance between control and tolerance.. compromise. The list is a great place to toss around ideas. Knowledge is power.
24. Is the Angel cast really going to end once the California run is finished? Rumor has it the Angel cast is going to other places after CA... From what I understand (not confirmed) once the show closes in San Fran.. the Angel Company is done.
25. Any final comments... ummmm.. spread the PAX.
