GOLDEN BOY - was exactly what his name implied...the golden boy of the theatre, film, and tv world. He came from a poor but loving family. He was humble and kind...and everyone was totally into him. When asked why everyone was so "up in his candy," a fellow student replied, "Because he's, like, nice...but not like...'Hey, look how nice I am!'...you know?"
He was cast as the male lead of every play and musical he was ever in, and was even a child guest star on Law & Order as a molested 13-year-old AND as a molested 11-year-old...two years later. It seemed he was only getting younger and stronger. #BLESSED
After a successful winter break jaunt to Hollywood during senior year, he managed to ink a deal to star in the hot new show of the upcoming season, Ow! I've Been Hit in the Crotch! (working title).
Back at school, he found out that he won the title role in Jesus Christ Superstar. He was brilliant in rehearsal and didn't do that weird falsetto thing - it was all chest belt and heart.
Sadly, a negligent stagehand failed to secure the cross in the crucifixion scene...and as the duct tape came loose, Golden Boy was crushed in front of the patrons of the Sunday matinee.
R.I.P.
Golden Boy
Everyone had a crush on you.
1984 - 2006
