Years ago, Clay asked his fans not to defend him (because it usually does more harm than good), and almost everyone now complies with that request. Here's what I posted on a message board:
Yeah. If it had happened 3 years ago -- when Glee was at the height of its popularity -- I would've been pissed that Adam, and not Clay, got the opportunity. I thought this quote from Adam in the Hollywood Reporter was funny: he feels the scripted singing series..."really paints a picture of what it's like to be an arts kid in high school." because it couldn't be further from the truth. Glee is the least realistic show on TV. My guess is that he probably won't appear on more than a couple of episodes. Clay recently proved that he's actually a fine actor in a non-singing role in The Drowsy Chaperone, in a North Carolina Theater production that was as good as anything I've seen on Broadway, and yesterday it was announced that he'll be Joseph in The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at a theater in Maine next month. These are demanding roles, more demanding than anything he could do on Glee. Anyone know of a cheap place to stay in Maine, one with an ocean view?
