Members ademption Posted November 23, 2006 Members Share Posted November 23, 2006 Just like that rumor at Coffeerooms' Today board, I'm just relaying info. Not sure if it's true or not. But just in case it is, here's some info about a possible recast for Phillip: Posssible Casting Spoiler Then later the moderator of the board had this to say: http://boards.soapcentral.com/showthread.php?t=192095 Anyone remember seeing him at Guiding Light? I don't know if the poster was Andrew's agent and decided to post this at soapcentral to encourage TPTB at Days to hire him or what? I just think it's strange that this is the 2nd time that whoever decided to post info about a new actor at soapcentral and provided links to pictures. Remember a poster at soapcentral did the same thing about a supposedly new Will about a month or so ago..... I did a quick google search and found some more info about him: http://www.projectquantumleap.com/andrew.htm http://www.projectquantumleap.com/picts/op...gnightparty.JPG In that pic, he looks kind of like JKJ.... He has his own website too, with his resume and some more pics. http://starvingartistwebdesign.com/AndrewS.../homeintro.html He looks really different in the pics on his website compared to that pic with Scott Bakula. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaysFanJean Posted November 23, 2006 Members Share Posted November 23, 2006 He could be very interesting but he doesn't look evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jinxed Soul Posted November 23, 2006 Members Share Posted November 23, 2006 I just googled some pictures. He looks a little young for the role, I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PhoenixRising05 Posted November 23, 2006 Members Share Posted November 23, 2006 He reminds me a bit of JKJ. I don't know though. He doesn't have the evil look and that may be a problem given the character's new direction. Days has made some great casting choices so we'll see since it's only a rumor. He looks quite young.

Members ademption Posted November 23, 2006 Author Members Share Posted November 23, 2006 Do you know who he reminds me of in some of his pictures? Like the blond-haired guy with glasses in Rent. I've been reading some reviews of the musicals where he was cast and apparently he does a good job at playing a full of himself, arrogant guy. Here's a review of the latest musical which he performed: http://www.laweekly.com/stage/theater-revi...-reviews/13763/ Here's another review of him: Andrew Samonsky tick … tick … BOOM! showstopper) He had us at … whatever it was he said when he opened his mouth on stage for the very fist time in the Rubicon Theatre Company’s production of tick … tick … BOOM! It may have been “tick.” It could have been “boom.” Whatever it was, it was the beginning of an inspired performance built on a foundation of solid-gold talent. The fact that he’s a local treasure was probably lost on the full house that had no clue Andrew Samonsky is from Ventura, and gave him an enthusiastic standing ovation nonetheless. It was an ovation he would have deserved had he been born in New York City, Kalamazoo or under a particularly large rock. Yes, the future of musical theater, dinner theater, hell, any kind of theater, sitcom, soap opera or feature film has a name — and that name is Samonsky with a capital “Holy crap, where did you come from?” The Answer? Ventura. Yes, tick … tick … BOOM! is a show well written and creatively surprising. The great talents who made it happen for the Rubicon wielded their magic wands astoundingly well. As an experience in theater, it was a revelation. And at the center of that revelation was 30-year-old Samonsky, who recently relocated to his hometown from New York and continues striving to secure steady work as an actor. Samonsky attended Buena High School before going on to earn a degree in voice from California State University, Northridge, and a masters of fine art degree in acting from the University of California, Irvine. Locally, Samonsky portrayed Algernon in a musical adaptation of The Importance of Being Earnest, at Ventura College. His regional credits include Forever Plaid, Into the Woods, Once Upon a Mattress and Smokey Joe’s Café. Samonsky also appeared on television on Guiding Light, and recently completed a tour of Disney’s On the Record. Since the wonders never cease, it does boggle the mind that Tom Cruise is a millionaire while Andrew Samonsky and others like him are not. Still, money doesn’t make the world go ’round, and watching Samonsky succeed as an artist is an inspiration to anyone who continues to feed the artist inside. No, Samonsky isn’t a millionaire — but if the respect of the people in his hometown could be converted to currency, he’d be driving a Rolls to the airport right now to take his eighth trip around the world. He’s one to watch, and someday the whole world’s going to know it. http://www.vcreporter.com/article.php?id=2...amp;IssueNum=54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members King Posted November 23, 2006 Members Share Posted November 23, 2006 Too Broadway-y, which means he can act and he's girly. Both are a big N-O for Phillip. He has to be played by someone manly, neanderthal-like, and not very talented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Keith Posted November 23, 2006 Members Share Posted November 23, 2006 I disagree on the non-talented front, King, given the direction they're going for. Just look at Aniston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
