Can't wait to see!
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

:love: You have such a wonderful voice, and presence, too. And humor—perfect for Tevye. I sure hope you win! And I can't wait to see more clips.

(I love Fiddler; I played in the orchestra for a production many years ago and never got tired of the music, which is saying a lot.)

Oh, man, that was superb! :bow: :bow:
Thank you for sharing this, Al.



And of course now this song is lodged in my head for a week. :D

Alatar, that was great. 8) :bow:

Makes me wonder why you didn't take up acting as more than a hobby in the first place...

Bravo! :bow:
There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.

I would almost go so far as to say that you were born to play this part, Al. I'm curious to know, did you feel as connected to the character as it appears?

Yeah, pretty much. Its a role I've wanted to play ever since I was in my 20s but I'm only now really mature enough, both as an actor and to fit the role physically. Luckily I can keep playing it for another 20 years ;)
