And many others that i'm too tired to list right now. But those 15 are ones that I would be happy to be stuck with forever and never see anything else.

Ask me anything

How did you get that to do that?

Years of training? Being in the right place at the right time? Sleeping with the right people? Spock threw the rock?

Really, unless I know what you're talking about, I can't really answer the question to your satisfaction.

Ask me anything

Who is the sexiest man and woman alive?

I don't have any favorites, really. I know a lot of people who can be very sexy in their own right. I even married one of them. But only because she's nice to me.

Ask me anything

Ask you anything. Okay. Would you have sex with a complete stranger? One time only. If he/she was really good looking, and nobody ever ever found out?

Again? Isn't once enough?

Ask me anything

Ever have the feeling that the twitter rumor mill is as bad as high school?

I haven't been in high school for over 20 years, and I really wasn't part of the rumor mill there.

Oddly, I don't know that I'm part of the rumor mill on twitter, either, so I don't really have a stance.

That said, there are people that feed off of drama everywhere, so I'm certain that there's rumors all over the place. I just try not to fall into them.

Ask me anything

What do you do when Twitter is down?

Sometimes [censored] [redacted], or [redacted] and [censored] but usually i'll just [redacted] a few times until I'm [censored]

Ask me anything

Did you think American Beauty was funny?

There were some funny moments, sure.
It's a black comedy, so why shouldn't there be funny moments?

Ask me anything

Why are you more interested in formspring than your wife?

I'm not. we're enjoying some ice-cream, and I felt like stirring things up a bit. Also, we just finished snuggling on the couch watching "moon." And don't forget the smooches. Because we don't.

I'm just a geek that likes to cause trouble, and she likes watching me try to get out of it.

Ask me anything

Would you rather swim in a pool or the ocean?

usually I would rather swim in the ocean than in the pool. But with the caveat that I'm somewhere tropical. Swimming in arctic oceans is no fun at all.

Ask me anything

What is your dream role? First, a play or musical that already exists. Second, a role you'd love to play that doesn't necessarily exist.

Ooh, "Dream role?" Hrm. Well, I'd love to play "Anatoly" in the musical "Chess" -- but only in the UK version. I dislike the American "rework" for a number of reasons.

Also I'd like to play "Harry Witherspoon" from "Lucky Stiff" because that's just an hysterical show.

For the second part: I want to play in a movie a first-time astronaut who goes to the moon and walks on it and discovers something cool that relates to how life on earth got started (hint: aliens!) Shot on location, of course.

Ask me anything

Ok this is an easy one. What is the story behind your form spring and twitter pictures? Are they from shows that you have performed in or you just felt like dressing up?

An easy question deserves an easy answer:

My formspring picture (which was also my old twitter pic) is of the character "Dr. Cuss" from "The Invisible Man" which performed back in 2004. He's a 65-ish year-old man, so I had to do some major age makeup, and of course, a lot of different physical movement. It was a lot of fun to do.

My current twitter picture is from a photoshoot that @Valette took of me in my Zoot Suit! You can check out the pics on my facebook profile, or on her photostream. They were also a lot of fun to do!

Ask me anything

What is a HepCat?

A HepCat is jazz slang for a hoopy frood.

Hep is "Hip" as in cool, and with-it. Hep came first, then hip, you dig?

Cat, of course, is somebody (often a musician) who is cool and with-it.

Ask me anything

When you sniff my internet what do you smell?

The delicate fragrance of rotting bits, hacked-up hashes, and stale cookies.

Ask me anything

Sunrise or sunset? Why?

Sunset. It's the perfect capper to a day. Plus, you can celebrate it with a delicious beverage, and friends and family.

Ask me anything

How did you and Heather meet?

How we met is a hotly contested issue.

Okay, maybe not contested. But lost in the annals of time.

Maybe not lost in the annals, but we're not definitely sure.

It was either in an opera (where we would have met in passing) or during a theatrical production.

We know for *certain* that we became acquaintances during "Saucy Jack and the Space Vixens," but the next year she got divorced, pregnant, and moved to Florida forever.

Until myspace+facebook changed everything...
