In 2011, I first saw Mike Faist play Morris in ''Newsies'' at Paper Mill Playhouse. A decade later, it's exciting to see him get his big break in movies.
One of my favorite moments in Steven Spielberg's ''West Side Story'' is the ''Cool'' reimagined dance between Tony and Riff and his Jets.
So far, the critics groups from Chicago, Phoenix and Portland have nominated Faist for Supporting Actor. I hope Oscar voters notice him, too.
