New York theater fans have long known Cheyenne's potency since his turn in Altar Boyz and before, but finally the rest of the nation will get a whiff of Mr. Jackson's beauteous talents as he joins the cast 30 Rock for what we hope is more than just a minor arc. Most will know him as Mark Bingham in 9/11 tragedy United 93. Theatergoers recall him as the dim-witted Sonny Malone in Douglas Carter Beane's hillarious Xanadu. Jackson has participated in investor showcases for Beane's upcoming (yet in development forever) musical The Big Time. Producers will pray he's available should the project make it to Broadway. It would be great to see him opposite Xanadu costar Kerry Butler again; both are favorites of Beane's. Now he does double duty at night as the star in Finian's Rainbow at the St. James eight times a week. The hardest working man in Midtown.
The universe sent a sign in casting his character as a Canadian. This blog title had been in mind for a while. This episode sealed it. Canadian Vowels is pleased to launch.
