Just watched the first part of the A&E Scarlet Pimpernel series (what, me procrastinate? No.). It's no secret that I rented this thing for Jamie Bamber, so imagine my dismay when he barely makes it an hour before being executed. OMG! Can Jamie Bamber appear in a period piece without getting shot in the gut?

At least he gets to lose his virginity first.

To reiterate for those of you not reading behind the cut: Drunken. Orgy. Jamie Bamber, three women and a hot tub in front of a room full of people. Three women undressing Jamie Bamber in a hot tub in front of a room full of people. Yes, they do get his pants all the way off before the scene changes. At least the director appreciated that you can't put the man in something without at least a little beefcake action.

I have the CD as well (I actually saw two of the three versions of the show that were on Broadway). And, for the record, Doug Sills is TEH AWESOME.

Wow - Scarlet Pimpernel got you to use netspeak! Yes, I know you're an uber-nerd, but I still view that as an accomplishment.

What else has he been in? I know my youngers sisters were enamored of him as the Cat in the Hat in "Suessical," but otherwise, I'd not really heard/seen him in much else.

But he was a masterful Pimpernel. I'm so glad I know someone else who loved that musical! Most people roll their eyes at me.

He was in the recent Little Shop of Horrors revival (as Orin Scrivelo DDS), and I saw him chewing scenery in Moonlight and Magnolias, which was fabulous.

My other Broadway favorite is Craig Bierko, of Music Man and Modern Orthodox fame. He's worth watching just for his facial expressions.

I love Craig Bierko!!! I saw him in The Music Man, and I have rarely had a better time at the theater. He was a fantastic Harold Hill, really genius.
