I haven't seen Rock of Ages so I have no idea what 'Hertz' does in the show, but when I think of actor similar to Paul Schoeffler, Don Stephenson doesn't automatically jump to mind.

Haha me either musicalsFan. But I love them both - haven't seen the show, maybe I'll try to see it with Stephenson and if I like it enough I'll go back for Schoeffler. Hopefully I can catch the latter down here in Philly too!

I don't know much about Rock of Ages, but Don Stephenson's performance as John Adams at the Papermill Playhouse was quite possibly one of the worst performances I've seen on stage (along with Antonique Smith as Mimi in Rent). He was completely devoid of charisma and had such an odd manner of speech. For the audience's sake, I hope "Hertz" is a small role.

Stephenson also sent a bitchy form letter to reviewers who dared to criticize his performance in 1776. Nothing worse than an egotist who isn't actually good.
