Risch was (still is?) also the lover of the director which some speculated played into it. Not that Risch isn't talented enough to deserve the role, because I think he is.

Also interesting to note that people like Hoff, and Matt Cavenaugh, and maybe others in this thread I don't feel like researching, never worked again in a Broadway show after exit from said show.

I don't think Risch and Mantello are still together. A few years later though, Risch was Thomas Sadoski's understudy in Other Desert Cities, which Mantello also directed. I saw him go on. I think he was playing the role for an extended period, and he was very solid. Also one again opposite Stockard Channing. He also popped up in that unfortunate Tales of the City reboot on Netflix a few years back, so he's clearly still working.
