I’m surprised we haven’t seen Adam Chanler-Berat in a role worthy of a Tony nomination. Same can be said for Kendra Kassebaum, in my opinion.

Who do you think should’ve at least had 1 Tony nod by now?

Sam Rockwell, for A Behanding in Spokane (supporting) or Fool For Love (leading).  He hasn't been nominated for an Oscar yet, either, but hopefully that will change this year.  He is better than 90% of the people who go on to win awards.

I can get how it happened because of the particular competition he faced, but Aaron Tveit not being nominated for either Next to Normal or Catch Me If You Can was strange.

"but Aaron Tveit not being nominated for either Next to Normal or Catch Me If You Can was strange."

I agree with you about him not being nominated for his role in "Next To Normal" but I did not think he deserved nomination for "Catch Me If You Can".

I haven't been able to see him perform on stage, but Sam Rockwell is my favorite actor. I don't say that lightly. He definitely hasn't received the recognition he deserves.

Daniel Radcliffe, who has so far given critically-acclaimed performances in all three of his stints on Broadway, yet still hasn't been nominated.

Are you really surprised? Must be lonely out there.

Jon Jon Briones?  For the only eligible role he'd already been playing for about 20 years before Broadway?

And Corey Cott?  For two brief flops?

I just think it's weird to be surprised that they've "never been nominated for a Tony".

I remember the chatter on these boards being that the 2012 Best Actor race would be between Aaron Tveit (CMIYC) and Daniel Radcliffe (H2$), and then neither were nominated, Rannells & Gab probably split some votes, and Norbert Leo Butz won his second Tony.

Exactly. Being a crazy fan doesn't mean that the performer you're currently stalking deserved a Tony.

Just wish Kritzer had been a big enough name to bring Funny Girl to Broadway. She's such a talent, and yet hasn't found a vehicle to show her off. 

I agree with Benjamin Walker. Say what you will about American Psycho, but his performance was incredible. His breakdown throughout Act 2 was a physical acting masterclass.

Betsy Wolfe.

And always and forever Gideon Glick in Significant Other. Worst snub.

Karen Morrow. One of the greatest voices EVER and not a nomination.
Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco. Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

Yes! Morrow's recording of the title song from I Had a Ball is one of my top five favorite numbers of all time.

Totally agree about Leslie Kritzer.  She should get nominated for her Alice Kramden if The Honeymooners comes in.  She was superb at Papermill.

I agree with Aaron Tveit and Betsy Wolfe 100%.

Also Ana Villafane should have gotten one for On Your Feet! she was the only good thing about that show besides the music.
