@petersagal@KenJennings I did a couple more performances after that as well but I don’t know if you played the role again or someone else did. Anyway, Philip was indeed Brilliant as Willie. I was blessed to do three shows with him at LATC. I called him my “father in the theatre”. A good friend.
@petersagal@KenJennings Had an hour and a half “put in” rehearsal with Philip and the rest of the cast, and went on that next afternoon. I was scared to death but it went well! And thanks to you for playing Stanley the waiter on a moments notice!
@petersagal@KenJennings Then, after an evening performance, the actor playing Biff (a very well known actor) told me he got a job and wouldn’t be doing the show the next performance and that I would be going on! I didn’t know all the lines. So, I went home and stayed up all night memorizing the lines.
@petersagal@KenJennings Peter! I was the actor playing Stanley the waiter! I was indeed understudying four roles…Biff, Happy, Bernard and Howard while also playing Stanley. I had memorized three of the four roles…all except Biff.
