So I got some pictures from My Favorite Year and thought I'd share some of them. We never did have a proper photo call, so most of these were taken during the final performances. This accounts for some of the odd expressions you'll see on our faces and the dark lighting. Unless otherwise noted, these were taken by a gentleman by the name of Robert Dewar.

These pictures will give you an overview of what the opening number looked like. In the first one, you'll see me in the center with my cue cards and, in the other two, I'm on the right side of the picture, just prior to taking a stage-long "slide into home plate" to get under the camera on the other side of the stage.

This is a nice shot of me as Cue Card Boy just prior to King Kaiser's hairpiece getting ripped off his head.

And this is me reacting to the toupee having been ripped off. David Cerda will love this one.


These are a couple of shots of me in "The Gospel According to King." Love the expressions on me and Ethan and Jim, the guys around me.


Here's a couple of me in position as Cue Card Boy, during "Professional Showbizness Comedy," in which I am supposedly watching the rehearsal and writing out new cue cards.


A couple of me as a "boy from Manny's Gym" in the number "Welcome to Brooklyn." In the first one I'm one of a group of guys raising up a chair in which Donald Purdy as Alan Swann is sitting. There's another group on the other side raising a chair with Patty Shay as Belle in it. It was supposed to reference that Jewish wedding tradition. In the second, Donald is giving me his sausage. In the course of the number, the neighbourhood butcher put links of sausage around his neck and in order to get the prop offstage, Donald then presented it to me. I, of course, played it as though I just been crowned Miss America.


And a couple of me as "Tess' Escort." That's the lovely Rita Markova as Tess and, in the second one, the handsome Ethan Gomez and the beautiful Adrianne Hick as our prom buddies.

So that's a few pictures for you...now, aren't you even more upset you didn't make it?
