wow! Thanks for the reply ◇ tbh like half of these cool facts abt will was kinda interesting ngl, but like i have also seen half of these b4 bc i also dig the internet alot..maybe too deep.
As a repayment (bc why not) i wanna share a kinda old grainy vid of will roland like 16 yrs ago (i think u may have seen it? Idk but this has like..500+views only). https://youtu.be/JAfdRwtDB3s?si=l26T-GE9UZgyoMWX (or u can search 4@15 lets face it)
And yeah my ultimate gem and yeah i always wheeze when hearing this song lmao. https://youtu.be/OcvPKsuf1Ik?si=4qNG4fuRLgfAK8C2
And this is my fav the new yorker article of will, and i think not many have seen this (btw it's abt will throwing axes and talking abt his school life) https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/04/08/a-nerd-learns-to-be-more-chill
oh yeah those are great Little Known / Niche Videos & Article! it's definitely a hurdle when even things from only so many years ago like the time of bway bmc (revisiting that article & it's like yeah that this was Pretty Novel If Not The Very First Time Right There I Think mentioning the "yeah once someone shoved me in a locker & that affected me a lot" fact; that this was still a time of Engagement Pending While We Do A Broadway Show, Then Quarantine several years) might be harder to find b/c there's more like double-SEO now where the search results will probably bury Closer Matches for More Distant Matches With Less Niche Results like i am trying to find Every Last Hit for this phrase online please. & then that something might also only be so many years old & not be a hosted webpage or image anymore at all whether you can find it or not, so. definitely times like "i might know this piece of trivia but i'm not sure what Specific Interview I Found Years Ago it's from" & then maybe try to go find it again & it's like, i did a pretty broad search to find it originally & didn't have to dig That in depth yet repeating that process isn't yielding the right results?? i'm specifically thinking of [i remember Bloodsong Lore joe iconis just shared in more General interviews on podcasts & i kept looking for those General Podcast Interviews especially of several years ago or older but No Luck]
anyway & yeah so it's Fun to just pass along the bits of niche trivia anyways when a more thoroughly cited compilation beyond dude just trust me would be tricky lol....it's fun, it's A Resource, the wisdom of the ages. but yeah also at the same time i have no idea what's like Considered Niche when "enough of a fan of will roland to be perusing my blog where i've just been talking about / checking out his oeuvre for a while" is probably already on a similar level as me, who yeah has just been Tuning In since late 2018 & interested in / watching & reading interviews & articles since then but like, i doubt i've ever found anything Unknown to other people paying attention to this one actor either. besides that the As A Child: Bad At Sports + Interested In What She'd Sing Around The House trivia is probably an exclusive given that it comes from his mom, in-person, last month. plus also i tend to struggle with Summoning Fun Facts unless i am directly reminded of some specific link to individual ones, but we can unroll some more here for sure:
as sort of seen in that sheen center talks video, that when he was starting college he wasn't sure What Kind Of Vocal Performance he might get into, opera? ("can you imagine??" "that'd make the cat laugh"); that Momentous Occasion of joe iconis talking to & performing songs (incl "helen") to his class courtesy of john simpkins & being like Oh Wow New Musical Theatre!! & that he was wearing a corduroy suit on this occasion. with longer hair, everyone's Theatredoing Hairstyles Of Their Teens trivias. Unusual Young Man. oh yeah lmfao also that he happened to email with lauren marcus while starting school b/c she was working there yknow fielding emails from incoming students evidently & he was talking with her about math & shit while assuming she worked there like A Professor. professor marcus
the Other Theatre Stuff he can / has done. the lighting design & setup & operating(?) experience. directing. that's two things. has said he's tried writing but didn't find it Enriching. has a sibling. & now a spouse & child. i am reminded of Will Roland anytime i see people buying jonny pops (Family Business i think on steph's side. easter egg tee in jared's costume for him while just wearing his own shoes literally, same make & model & prescription glasses, same other stylings, every jared's job to be like cosplaying 2016 will roland)
being offered the role of jeremy via a phonecall from joseph iconis, on his birthday (will's), Surprise....after having auditioned for the part in the two river run, getting down to the endzone of Consideration For Said Part at that time. speaking of Roles That Are Just Like "this is so based on Your je ne sais quoi that you may as well use your own clothes" that like Winston (Billions) was meant to be the one-scene one-ep one-off part until he actually Acted It & talked with people there & all & it was like we wanna keep that role around here to be killed repeatedly forever!!! skinamarink. while will's definitely yknow wearing his own glasses & stuff in that original appearance as Quant Kid 2 (like another tv role of his, Nerd 3) & the white buttonup with the birds print is also definitely literally his own piece of clothing b/c i recognize it from other pics. & then that in s5 he just happened to have grown out the Moustached Out For The Rest Of The Series look while showing up like pre production of that season but they were like "you Must keep it" according to him. then like "let's use real photos of you when we kill your character one more time" except i forget that they had him appear once more after That, for reasons nobody understands, & that's Billions(tm) for you
might sweat a lot but smells good
