He states in Details "There were all these beautiful, beautiful dancers. As a straight guy I had some room. There were the shared interests in singing and dancing, and I always find dancing with someone very erotic and sexual. I definitely hooked up with a lot of girls when I was a young guy on Broadway. It was fun, I guess. Very joyous and free."

• Tony nomination for his role as Fabrizio Naccarelli in "The Light in the Piazza" musical by Craig Lucas and Adam Guettel.

Personal Quotes:

• [When asked in an interview whether the widespread rumor that he is John Wayne's grandson is true] Oh, God! That is just a rumor, but I would have no shame in perpetuating it. I'll be John Wayne's grandson! You know, his real name was Marion Morrison -- and if you look at pictures of him and me, it's quite uncanny.
• [On the newer movie version of Hairspray] I've heard the rumor about John Travolta playing Edna Turnblad and it'd be interesting, but I want Harvey [Fierstein] to do it; he's the man - or woman - for the job. They might see me for Link, but they'd probably go for Justin Timberlake.
• [on working on Broadway] - There were all these beautiful, beautiful dancers. As a straight guy I had some room. There were the shared interests in singing and dancing, and I always find dancing with someone very evocative and sexual. I definitely hooked up with a lot of girls when I was a young guy on Broadway. It was exciting. Very joyous and free.
• I'm not comfortable with the idea of my sex appeal, but I know in my job I have to use it. I wish I could say I got to this point in my career based on my talent, but I don't think that's true.
