Justin is NOT doing MI:3!!!! ...and he's 6', geez


I'm almost absolutely 100% sure that Justin is NOT going to be in Mission Impossible 3, he IS doing Ask the Dust (in south africa), and his hair is dyed blonde (for the movie). I know this because I can talk to him about it virtually whenever I want, if he'll pick up his phone, or if I'm not too lazy to call him, because he's my cousin. I know he expects me to represent him well, but I can't quite understand how all of you can be so fascinated with the man's height, of all things, and I don't think you can possibly be starstruck enough to have a stroke just from flirting with him. Anyway, if you have any questions you want me to ask him, I can try to reply on this thread as soon as I get back from my vacation (which I'm spending the better part of with Justin (at Universal Studios in California)).

The thing with height, etc; is all tongue in cheek...we're just having some good natured fun. If you want to read serious posts, you can check out Angels in America message board here, or over at HBO.com.

I've never heard of anyone having a stroke from flirting, so obviously that's just fun as well. So, please, keep a sense of humor. Several of us are 50+ and others of us are in the late teens.

Sorry to hear about MI3. Does Justin have any plans after Ask the Dust? I had never seen him before Angels in America, which, as you can tell from the messages boards I've mentioned, has become almost an obsession for those of us who love this movie. And, again, "obsession" is used rather lightly, so don't take it literally, although with viewing AinA multiudes of times, reading the playbook, listening to the CD, I guess it's as close to "obsession" while staying on this side of sanity that one could get.

I was particularly impressed with the "naturalness" of Justin's acting skills with the role of Prior. And I REALLY liked reading he doesn't want to expound on his political beliefs. That was a huge relief in and of itself!

In conclusion, we have fun on these boards and learn alot at the same time. I'm sure I won't be the only poster here who would like to know if Justin has plans beyond "Ask the Dust."

Right, guys??

Right - I know for me, I was just so impressed by his acting ability and the way I felt about the character. Your cousin is truly a gifted actor and I hope that whatever he does next will give him another chance to flex his acting muscles.

The Angels in America board is a lot of fun, a lot of silliness and most importantly, very scholarly at times. We discuss different aspects of the show, what we think the author had in mind, what made the director do certain things and of course, the actors interpretations of their characters.

That being said, if you could let us know what he will be doing after 'Ask the Dust' we would all be grateful.

I know all the American fans will be happy to know that he just got back today, and he's too tired to answer the phone.

reply

yea!! Any news on what he's doing next? He deserves an Emmy for AinA. He deserved to win the Golden Globe and the SAG. Definitely!

Maybe he's looking at his caller ID on his phone and thinking, oh yeah, Cousin ____. You can give me his phone number and I bet he'd answer. Then I could ask what he's doing next and inform his fans. Really. No one would know his number but you and me. Promise. ;-)

I JUST FINISHED TALKING TO HIM. He does read this forum, and he was a little pissed that I'm helping to invade his privacy. He didn't say much about what he's doing next, cuz I'm pretty sure he doesn't quite know what he's doing next(he kinda mumbled "hmm, what i'm doing next..."). He said to tell all the girls here that he appreciates your comments. But I have to tread lightly, walk on eggshells if you will, about what I write on this forum about him because I respect his privacy, and I KNOW he enjoys his privacy.

I know he gonna read this too...

Thanks JKousin for your reply, privacy respected.
This is so long ago for USA, but you readers might be interested to know that here in Australia, 'Angels in America' screened on our TVs only last week- yes, how behind are we... it received rave reviews aplenty & this was my first dose of JK. No doubt 'Prior' was the standout character for so many here, I just wanted to hug him right at the end, he was beautiful. And consequently, I'm sure the boyz in Oxford St are luvving Justin to bits now! Anyway for what it's worth, congratulations Justin- to have you finally grace us with your TV presence here is a long overdue thrill. By the way, you're welcome to our fair country -Melbourne particularly- anytime...we just won't let you leave that's all. ;-)

JKousin: Rest assured, no one here wants to invade anyone's privacy...ANYONE's...famous or not...we're just having some fun. And it has certainly crossed my mind that relatives of "subjects" of these message boards must be careful to remain loyal to the relatives!!

Our gushing is just for fun...

It's been fun discoverning new actors. As I mentioned previously, I had not heard or seen Justin, Ben or Jeffrey before. Another poster here lives outside NYC and is fortunate to have the opportunity to see Ben on stage and went to a reading at Pace University and met Ben, Jeffrey and Tony Kushner! And, I have discovered a new author as well! Such wonderful wonderful words Tony writes! I am definitely going to be reading his future works, and I've gone back to read some prior works. His commencement speech at Vassar is priceless!

I was particularly struck by the actors ability to so effortlessly say those words. Talent, of course, and study, and hard work. Well done!

Looking forward to seeing these 3 again in future endeavors!

And crossing our collective fingers Justin gets an Emmy, right my fellow posters?? I loved his comedic timing. He deserves the Emmy.
