Kevin Anderson: Original London Production


Joe Gillis: You used to be big.
Norma Desmond: I am big. It's the pictures that got small.


Kevin Anderson as Joe Gillis
Original London Production:
Adelphi Theatre: July 1993



Although the London production ran until 1997,  the show closed in the summer of 1994 to revamp closer to the staging of the Los Angeles production.  When it opened again in August, Patti LuPone and Kevin Anderson were gone, with Betty Buckely and John Barrowman as replacements.  It's Kevin Anderson however, who's performance and voice were the first I heard after purchasing the London cast album.

Miles From Home (1988)

Sleeping With The Enemy (1991)

I first began crushing over actor Kevin Anderson after renting a VHS copy of Sleeping With The Enemy back in the 90's. Anderson was both engaging, and completely adorable as Julia Roberts boyfriend Ben.  Anderson's had a fascinating career full interesting and unique films and roles.


Orpheus Descending (1990)

Liebestraum (1991)
