| I can't say from what, but even as a teenager in 2000, i knew his name as a TV and movie actor, and thought his casting was like some weak mix of finding someone with no theater impression made but who might also sell some tickets as a name, but wasn't such a name that he'd disappoint. Is this all in my head? When his casting was announced was it treated as an unknown? And as for scoring, I don't recall the reviews well but I don't remember critics writing him love letters and remember (and see a lot here) people accusing him of just imitating Preston. It's also one of the biggest and most loved leading man roles in Broadway history, but he lost the Tony (it was a tough year, and Stokes was overdue for a Tony after Ragtime... and I would have probably voted for Patinkin that year, but it's not like Bierko took broadway by storm). |
