There isn't a single business where anybody feels secure.

I didn't want to be a hero to kids; I didn't think I had that. I just wanted to be popular.

Before Grease 2, I was called the next Richard Gere, then after Grease 2, nobody would touch me.

I'm always playing these mendacious characters who end up hoisting themselves by their own petard.

Before 'Grease 2', I was called the next Richard Gere, then after 'Grease 2', nobody would touch me.

Not disown my past or upbringing, but I'd admired American actors, really American movie star - particularly the rebel heroes of the '50s.

I did sing in another film called 'Empire Records' which is a cult film. 'Grease 2' is also a cult film. You either love it or just think the original was better.

You can work and scratch out a living in the theatre, but, if you want to make money, you've got to hit the road. You've got to play big houses of 2, 3 thousand seaters with your name above the bill, do popular fare and reach out to the audience such as it is.

I am beyond thrilled to be hitting the road with 'Singin' in the Rain.' As a huge fan of the original movie, the chance to bring this story to life on stage is something I couldn't pass up, and it'll be great visiting some of the beautiful theatres on the tour; some I've been to previously; some are going to be a brand new experience for me.
