So, "Rent" was AWESOME yesterday! The music was incredible--the actors' voices were so perfectly toned, and though there were some rocky moments in the beginning (which made me fear for the health of my ears), they all really picked it back up and made the show amazing. The acting was superb, too. And the scenery--exquisite. But the best part (and I'm gonna sound pretty shallow by saying this but I'm going to anyway) was the boys who played the parts of "Mark" and "Roger". Mark was played by a fellow named Harley Jay (who is the fetching fellow in the bottom picture), and Roger was played by the phenomenal Declan Bennett (in the picture on the top), who joined the U.S. cast of "Rent" (which is currently touring nationally) direct from London, England.
Harley has been seen on both the big and small screen on productions put on by Fox and MTV and was also in the movies "Fast and the Furious" and "Bring It On Yet Again". Declan released an album in 2005 called "The Painter's Ball" under the pseudonym "sumladfromcov" (he is originally from Coventry).
