UPDATE 2: Patinkin told Tbe New York Times today that he was cancelling his plans to appear in The Great Comet because of the diversity issues. “I would never accept a role knowing it would harm another actor,” Patinkin said. “I hear what members of the community have said and I agree with them. I am a huge fan of Oak and I will, therefore, not be appearing in the show.”
UPDATE 1: In an Instagram post this morning, Onaodowan confirmed that he is leaving Great Comet August 13 and will not be returning. “I am grateful to have had the time to bring this character to life with a remarkable cast that truly make the Imperial Theatre a sacred place every night,” he wrote. “My work is just a reflection of what they bring, have brought and will continue to bring, be it me, Mandy or whoever is co-pilot to Denee (Benton, his costar).”
That he is. Just don't let him sing. He sounds like Jiminy Cricket's gay brother.
LOL!
He is a good actor but a major jerk. It is a wonder that he can still get work.
I agree with you 100%
He may well be a great something.
But I have never heard of him. Nor ANY of the plays or movies or whatever he is claimed to have appeared in.
But I have never heard of him.
nor have I...wouldn’t know him if I fell over him...
Your exactly right. Mandy has quit some very good gigs for idiotic reasons. I think he was on Chicago Hope, quit, Criminal Minds, quit, he was also on the cable show Homeland, might have quit it to.
He may be a very good actor, but he is a progressive liberal, and kind of flaky.
Broadway garbage; who cares?
