paragons of subtleness: Travis Michael Holder (vous êtes toujours bienvenu ici)

a few weeks ago I had the distinct pleasure to cook étouffée for this gem of man. His presence is the kind that refreshes a room, his voice is one of kindness and passion. an amazing actor and human being - I hope to know him a long while more.....

Holder "traveled to New Orleans playing Tennessee Williams in Lament for the Moths at the 17th annual Tennessee Williams Literary Festival at the Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre, a role he originated at the Laurel grove Theatre in Studio City opposite Chris Carmack as his Frank Merlo, then had the honor to return to his favorite city in America and the 21st annual Williams Festival to perform in Ode to Tennessee opposite Jeremy Lawrence, Annette Cardona and Louise Shaffer. The following year, he traveled to N'awlins a third time to reprise his role as the Witch of Capri opposite Karen Kondazian in A Witch and a Bitch, presenting scenes from the Los Angeles Fountain Theatre's award-winning mounting of Williams' The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore."
