Dear Alison,

I can hear how heartbroken you are. Maybe this will be a comfort? You got a chance to tell Brent the impact his shows had on your life, two different times. I don't know
what words you used, if you just said "Nice job!!" but actors are in their line of work because they can feel people's emotions and I feel certain he experienced how much his performances meant to you.

((This is just an aside-- I saw an actor in twenty different shows who really made difficult formative years special -- I was so spiritually
affected by his shows. I didn't know how to say this, and as a young person, was in over my head in terms of how to deal with how he affected me. It wasn't a schoolgirl crush, it was a spiritual thing.
I had no vocabulary for it at the time. It really was transformative and him not knowing how he changed a life, is a regret I will always have).

At least you got a couple of chances to let him know he made a difference..

Best,

V

What a touching tribute. Thank you for sharing.

I never saw him perform live, though he’s from my home province.

My story is that I saw him numerous times on the Rosie show and on the Tonys in my teen years and he made me so curious about a show called Parade. I’ve loved the show ever since and I am so grateful for what moments of his performance I had the opportunity to see.
