I noticed he was at the Drowsy opening night party and would love to see him do Broadway... I couldn't help thinking this would be a perfect role for him - no songs, just witty banter. Your thoughts?
I am quite sure he is friends with all the creators...seeing as the Canadian acting community is quite small and they have all worked together. I would not be surprised if he was asked to take over when Bob Martin leaves.
Colin is a good friend of his fellow Canadian, Bob. Stand down people, there is nothing to see here. Go on with your other business. Move along. Nothing to see here....
Seriously, it would be a GENIUS casting decision putting Colin in as Man in Chair...
I swore to a friend (Who actually saw Bob Martin's standby on like the one night he ACTUALLY performed) that I would never see the show without Bob Martin... But I lied. I'd see it with Colin Mochrie in a friggin' HEARTBEAT!
"The nice thing about the rain is that it always stops... eventually."
I'd never heard of Bob Martin before I heard about Drowsy, but that didn't stop me appreciating the show when I was lucky enough to see it earlier this month - he was FABULOUS!
I have heard of Colin Mochrie - I remember him as a regular on Whose Line Is It Anyway when it was popular in the UK - and I have to concur that he would be a great choice for the Man in Chair!
Oh wow, I had never thought of this before. Yeah, he is really the only one I could see doing this now. He just has....that MIC type of thing. I think he could pull it off.
"Dont look at me that way
Your ears and your eyes
Got used to the lies
But you're getting the truth today"
"Ah the city. So many lights you can actually pretend one of them is shining on you."
CLIFF: "There was a cabaret and there was a master of ceremonies and there was a city called Berlin in a country called Germany - and it was the end of the world and I was dancing with Sally Bowles - and we were both fast asleep"
First of all, Bob Martin has no specific plans to go any where in a hurry. And Colin, well, while he would be complimented beyond words - his schedule is kinda set for the next year ( or so) and frankly while the touring IS very demanding- the rumuniration is MUCH more than Broadway could offer. It IS possible if Martin wanted an extendend break, I suppose it could happen but frankly very unlikely.
