Matt Ashford wins over Toronto critic
Toronto's thestar.com critic, Richard Ouzounian, seemed to enjoy Matt Ashford is the MAMMA MIA tour, stating that "Matthew Ashford is probably the most original and charming of all the Bill Austins I’ve encountered, substituting sly style for boorish bravado." The rest of the article wasn't nearly so complimentary as can be witnessed here.
The same thing was said about his portrayal of Sky Masterson in GUYS AND DOLLS. They praised his singing and chem with his co-star, and that other Skys were still but he gave the role charm. Too bad DAYS seems to always fire him, recast his Jack with underwear models or put Jennifer with other men.
ReplyDeleteI did see a photo of the lead and was wondering about that. Does the Bill character have more singing? I only saw the movie and though Pierce Brosnan was sexy -- his Remington Steele was a major TV crush -- he could not sing, and I did not remember the role having much singing ops, and was not sure was that because the role did not or because they realized Brosnan was weak in that department.
I love Matt my favorite Days character ever was Jack in 1991 or so too bad he couldn't make it back for the memorial but Days never really has never really done Matt/Jack justice in any of his returns
