Whose Shrine is it Anyway?
This here, my friends, is my little tribute to the men and women of WLiiA? whom I have had the extreme pleasure of meeting (and annoying, I'm sure!). Several have provided me with invaluable help with this project and web page. They all have been so wonderfully nice to myself and my friends. I can't thank them enough! Well, enough drivel, let's get cracking!
What do other fine folks think about this singing sensation?*Tibby says: "Like turning on the radio and finding the song you like is on. Wayne is full of surprises."
*Julie says: "That golden throat; amazing at song lyrics; excellent impressionist."
*Molly says: "That guy has a voice to die for, I melt every time I hear him sing."
*Jessie says: "Meltable voice; incredibly nice; my second favorite Tigger."
*Serena says: "Some record company better sign him up soon!!! The sweetest singing voice I have ever heard!"
*Claudia says: "Like my friends say, he either has to be a singer, an actor of a model. He can make a song faster than you can say, 'Phillyfoo.'"
*Lori says: "A gifted improviser who is as talented physically as he is verbally."
What has Wayne said about his fellow performers? (for full interview, click here)*Colin: "A prince."
*Ryan: "Brilliant."
*Brad: "One of my best buds in LA and a great guy."
*Drew: "A star who takes care of everyone he meets. Just a good Joe."
*Clive: "Genius."
*Greg: "I'd like to make him the brother I never had."
*Dan Patterson, producer: "Definitely knows his show in and out and what he wants. Good guy."
What do other fine fans think about this cool Canuck?*Julie says: "Sweetest man on the planet; seems amused by us; the hoe-down king, whether he finishes or not."
*Molly says: "He's very funny and he seems very nice."
*Jessie says: "About the sweetest man I have ever met, and most patient; quiet, yet hellishly funny."
*Serena says: "The sweetest, nicest man ever to walk the Earth!!! He and Ryan? What a team!"
*Claudia says: "Absolutely hilarious and, I hear, very sweet."
*Lori says: "Original and hilarious, and always seems to be enjoying performing as much as we enjoy watching him!"
What has Colin said about his fellow performers and himself? (complete interview coming soon!)*Colin: "The nicest guy on the show. Has the heart of a musical performer, but not the equipment."
*Ryan: "The ultimate improviser. Is great verbally and physically and can sing. Never at a loss during a scene."
*Brad: "The most under-rated on the show. Is very funny, great at songs and does great when hosting a game. Is really a woman."
*Clive: "One of the wittiest men I know. Exactly the same offstage as on, except nicer to Greg in real life."
*Greg: "The smartest of the improvisers. Can talk on any subject. A big baseball fan and excellent at hosting."
*Wayne: "A sweetheart. Excels at music games and does great character work. Loves doing sound effects."
*Dan Patterson, producer: "The Captain Ahab of improv. Totally obsessed with the show. Master of editing and totally nuts."
What do other fine freakazoids think about this witty wordmeister?*Tibby says: "Has the looks of an Elvis Costello look-alike and the intelligence of a naughty scientist."
*Julie says: "Devastatingly witty; a true charmer; finally starting to get the recognition he's deserved for years."
*Molly says: "This guy is so wonderful and very witty."
*Jessie says: "Suave, charming, sarcastically hilarious, very nice, and alterer of my vocabulary."
*Serena says: "The coolest thing this side of the Atlantic. The man is brilliant!"
*Claudia says: "Witty, smart, and has the best fashion taste of anyone on the show."
*Lori says: "Too witty for words. Helped to set the show's high standard's way back when."
What do other fine friendlies think about this perplexing perfectionist?*Tibby says: "Has the looks of a Backstreet Boy and the intelligence of a mad scientist."
*Julie says: "Much more than just a pretty face (though he's that too!); wonderful singer; even funny as a straight man, which isn't always easy."
*Molly says: "Oh what can I say, but OH BOY. And he does a great Fred Schneider impression."
*Jessie says: "Charming, amazing voice, patient (and always seemingly amused when he is surrounded)."
*Serena says: "::sighing dreamily:: I will be forever thankful to him for Las Vegas and the Jurassic Park thing he did for US!!! And love his facial expressions!"
*Claudia says: "Brad? he's 50, a woman, and smells like soup. Hmmm.....really creative with the songs and a great improviser."
*Lori says: "Very under-rated, versitile ... and being gorgeous doesn't hurt either!"
What do other fine fools think about this lanky lover of improv?*Tibby says: "There are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and Ryan."
*Julie says: "Wonderfully inventive; unafraid of looking silly; excellent with faces."
*Molly says: "He is very talented and he seems to do a great job at imitating animals."
*Jessie says: "Patient, constantly surprising, always 'makes me giggle'."."
*Serena says: "6'5" of of pure brilliance! It amazes me how he and Colin just know what each other is thinking . . ."
*Claudia says: "He's GORGEOUS! He never fails to make me laugh."
*Lori says: "Never at a loss for words, a truly brilliant improviser. And is there anything this man will not put in his mouth?"
Chew on all this for now! More to come soon, such as Denny, Clive, Dan....etc, etc...
