A Long-Awaited Update
Quick 'n slick.
I was just listening to my all-purpose perk-UP! song, "You've Got to Look Out for Yourself" from City of Angels on my ipod nano. And I don't know what it is, but the same way most women feel about Justin Timberlake, I feel about Scott Waara. Who the hell is this guy and what is he doing NOW?!
All attempts to search proved fruitless. This was one of the last-known photographs I could find of Waara, in 1974, in his high school jazz ensemble.
But, have no fear! He's still around and working steadily as an actor -- most recently, in a benefit performance of my mother's favorite musical, They're Playing Our Song. Don't bother using Google on this one. What little you can find on him makes copious use of the fact that he won a Tony Award in 1992 for The Most Happy Fella. Chew on that one and contemplate this recent photo op of Waara and nearly every surviving Tony Award winner ever. He's sandwiched right in between Vereen and Rivera.
I'm in a sentimental way. So won't you coast with me?

Welcome back Rose Louise! We missed you!
I missed you, too!!
Of course, this post was before I found out that, after he won the Tony, Waara started jamming with a Christian rock band called Plonka (it's named after the sound the stone made when David slew Goliath)

I just can't get past the rampant Jesus love. They do a pretty kick-ass cover of Bob Dylan's "You Gotta Serve Somebody," though!
