As much as I love to support Broadway theater, and as much as I love the fact that Will Chase is a former cast member of RENT, I found his interview with New York magazine to be…well…upsetting. Will is going to be the lead role in the musical theater adaptation of Nick Hornby‘s uber-music geek book, High Fidelity.
Check out this embarrassing exchange between Will and writer Jada Yuan:
NY Mag: Have you studied the clerks at Other Music?
Chase: You mean, what other music do I like?
No, I meant Other Music, the store.
Oh, other music stores?
Never mind.
Will Chase is obviously not a method actor.

What I find most disturbing, is that they are making a musical out of High Fidelity.
I think the later part of the interview is the best:
Who’s your audience?
Nick Hornby fans, though I guarantee they’ll think, I’m going to hate this. And that’s cool. I’m just gonna do my shit and hope that I have work for a couple of years.
I think he’s right, though, strangely it has that “Snakes On A Plane” feel…. (that’s right, I said “Snakes On A Plane”)… which inevitably means we’ll all talk about it and not go see it…
If they ever wonder why people call them “actrons” . . .
Since when do people trust things they read in New York Magazine? If you ask me, they edited it to make him sound stupid.
