He has the most striking eyes I've seen. I did have a chance to see him in "The Nance." It was a moving and poignant performance. In this questionnaire with Playbill, he does mention that he's not really a fan of musicals. Hmmm. I guess he'll be sticking with plays then. He really is talented in whatever he does. from RC in Austin, Texas (seeing Terra C and the cast of "Chicago" tonite here in town.)

"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Clearly you didn't see him in MACBETH. If you had then you wouldn't hope he'd stick with acting.

Posted: 11/19/13 at 9:18amHe's certainly a looker but, the way that questionnaire reads, it should be called: "Johnny Orsini: I Am The Bro-iest Bro In All of Broedom."

Seriously! We get it, Jonny, you're not gay. Nobody thought you were to begin with.

Posted: 11/19/13 at 11:54amYeah, all those gym-buff-twentysomething-stud-who-somehow-falls-for-the-shlumpy-middle-age-guy fantasy dream boy roles that turn up in every damn gay play are hardly ever played by gay actors.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Posted: 11/19/13 at 11:57amI'm surprised no one has commented about his lack of interest in show tunes. To what extent is that prevalent among Broadway people who usually work in plays? Curious thought.
