Philip - I concur with your sentiments.
When I was starting out in New York I saw Sweeny Todd several times. (Mostly the 2nd act.) I got Angela Lansbury and Len Cariou to sign a playbill and an odd piece of advertising ephemera. Naturally I said what all aspiring actors would say, I'd like to work with you one day. Who'd have thought it would actually come true about fifteen years later? Not long after I arrived in Los Angeles I was fortunate enough to do two episodes of Murder She Wrote. It was a dream come true for a youngish actor and remains a highlight of my somewhat spotty career. I felt many emotions when I saw Scott's email, not the least of which is that an era for Film, Television and Theatre has most assuredly passed.
