Whether they are behind the camera or in front of it, this is the place to discuss all filmmakers regardless of their role in the filmmaking process.

R.I.P. Gary Beach

Post by The Original BJ »

Another one for the more Broadway-focused among us. I saw him in the two big roles he originated -- Lumière in Beauty and the Beast and Roger De Bris in The Producers -- and despite the film adaptation of the latter being a dud, it's nice that he got to have his Tony-winning role preserved for future generations.

The outpouring of grief on my social media among friends who worked with him suggests he was a really good guy, the kind of performer most actors felt lucky to have shared the stage with.
