| Whizzer is a jock. Well, he plays raquetball (but so does Marvin) and he likes baseball (but we have no evidence that he plays it, though he does coach Jason). I don't know if that qualifies him as a jock, or even a jock type. Were he a jock, I imagine that there might be a sports-playing reference somewhere in "The Games I Play" - but we only get a reference to canasta and that he bets on horses. ;-) I tend to think of him more as just the prototype of a young extremely appealing/attractive gay man. I hesitate to say he's a "pretty boy," (because I tend to think that implies some androgyny, which I don't think needs to be part of the character's look or style), but in a sense I think of that much more than "jock." |

| Funny, in all my life I've never heard the term "pretty boy" and understood it to specifically imply androgyny, and i don't use it that way. In the context I've heard it in it almost always means someone whose face is too pretty to be the way an average man's face looks, but that doesn't imply androgyny to me. Either way, I don't think Stephen Bogardus was a "pretty boy" when he played the role. Is that how people saw him? | |

| I should have clarified, lol - I was describing the way I saw Rannells' take on the role. | |

| No, that doesn't describe Bogardus at all, though he was a very attractive Whizzer. He was WASP-ish, and he was the better looking and more confident of the two so he had an upper hand that both turned on and frustrated Rupert's Marvin. They had terrific chemistry. | |

| I've always wondered what kind of Whizzer Bogardus was. I did not see the original and, for awhile, just knew of it vaguely - and I though for quite some time that Rupert must have played Whizzer (without knowing much about Bogardus). | |

| If Whizzer likes baseball and coaches Jason, it is almost certain that he once played baseball. Perhaps just Little League, or with others at school or his neighborhood, and the same would apply to basketball, football or tennis. | |
