spoilery reaction to 6x16... )

And speaking of which....like I said I was at Ashland this weekend watching Measure for Measure.  During the intermission, I was reading through the Play Bill about the other pays being offered in the Bowmer Theater this season.  

This guy caught my attention....



I *knew* I'd seen him somewhere before.   Then I saw this in his OSF bio entry:  "Film/TV: Ashes, Numb, Dexter, Law and Order, Without a Trace, Supernatural, The Shield, Chappelle's Show, Animated Tales of the World (HBO)."

Then I recognized him!  He was from the Magnificent Seven episode (3x01).   It took me until that night to remember his character's name:  Isaac (right? I haven't looked that up yet.)  He's playing Tom Robinson in OSF's To Kill a Mockingbird.  Which I'd love to see even without this connection.  But the connection makes me want to see  it even more.

This is the second SPN guest actor with an OSF connection.   The priest in Houses of the Holy is an OSF alumnae that I've seen in may plays at Ashland.

I'm going to post separately about the Ashland trip...but this made me realize that the show biz world is likely a small one.

Just saw this linked on FB through the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.   I noticed Jim Beaver was listed in the names referenced.  

Shakespeare was my first exposure to live theatre when I saw my first play at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival when I was in the 6th grade.   You could say that Mr. Shakespeare was my first fangirling-of-a-writer experience!   I dove full fangirl-style into everything Shakespeare for decades.  

I also fangirled many of the actors and directors at OSF.   One of the actors I followed for years at OSF was Denis Arndt, who played the priest on SPN's Houses of the Holy.  I did a little happy dance when I saw him on SPN.  

Edit:  Hmmm.  Embedding does not seem to work.   Trying going here instead.


Edit 2:  HaHaHaHaHa!   Jim Beaver pulls out a battered copy of the Complete Works of William Shakespeare that he found for the first time during his stint in Vietnam and says, "In case the Marine Corp wants to know, yes I did in fact steal it!"  Ha!
