Leading Man Material
As an actor, as anyone knows there are always dissenters in this business. You’re always too “something,” add a little of this, less of that, blah, blah, blah. Still, I was actually a bit surprised to hear that I was “too tall” to be a leading man. Gratefully so, I do know better and have played the leading man several times. My first roles ever were actually as leads. But even knowing that, I did have a moment. I had to ask was this person right or what? So this showcase is actually highlighting leading men who are 6’4”. Just as a reminder to me and to the Universe…
Clint Eastwood
Seal
Liam Neeson
Djimon Hounsou
John Wayne
Tom Selleck
Steven Seagal
David Hasselhoff
Henry Simmons
Conan O’Brien
Chevy Chase
William Shakespeare
And, even still, if there had never been a leading man like me before, the world had better expect one now!
