Cats - Interview with Jacob Brent

[stickerlover164902]

I met him!!!! I got a picture with him!!! He's so much older now...and SOOOO GAY. I love him. He's so nice.

[randomnessgurl93]

I'm am soooo glad that I am not the only one who has a crush on one of the cats in the video! I just watched it and I have a huge crush on Mr Mistopolis. :3

[love99941]

Even though now the actor is like 47... O_o

[love99941]

I know what you guys mean...I've had a major crush on Munkustrap (video one) since I was like six.

[shelbadelba123]

@love99941 same here!!

[trekkicat]

please do not tell me he is gay... this cannot be.. may dream cat... gay... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOO why are all handsome guys gay? 

[MyRayrayhercules]

sexy bastard............those tights compliment his junk....... what we were ALL thinkin it!

[JustValeriefy]

I don't care if he's gay or not, he's still cute! (tho' I'm 15 and he's in his late 30s, guh.)

I think I know where that 'gay' accent comes from, tho'. see, you don't find a lot of boys who do ballet, and they usually spend more time with girls, they kind of 'adapt'. I know a lot of male dancers with such an accent, and they're not (all) gay! :D still, I'm ranting, I love Jacob Brent (THE REAL TEAM JACOB, tee hee xD) so ;)

[bandgeek56flint]

O_O i didnt know he was gay :P

but i still love him, he's so gorgeous XD

[smilekatiecakeful]

i love mr mistofelees!!!

[ryanmccormick417]

OMG I HAVE KNOWN HIM FOR TWO WEEKS HE WAS A DIRECTOR FOR CAT AT A THEATER I WORK FOR AND FOUND OUT TODAY!!!!!

[LeaAmandorable]

@ryanmccormick417 ahaha fail!!!!

[TheOwlking1996]

Mr. Mistofolees is my favorite out of the whole production. Jacob Brent is beautiful.

[GIRLSKATER6]

fighting urge to glomp screen

[arterina]

:D I loooove this guy

[horseanddoglover777]

(sigh) I WUV HIM!!!!!!

[LemonadeIcedTea01]

Darn.

[LemonadeIcedTea01]

Which people from it were gay? If the guy that plays Tugger is, I will cry.

[MewPassionAngel]

@LemonadeIcedTea01 Well it turns out that John Partridge, who played Tugger in the movie, is indeed gay.

[Vi6872]

@ shelbadelba123 and Bitsy83, come to New York and take his dance class at the Broadway Dance Center. His class is always fun and you will enjoy it :)

[siriushpfan]

HOLY SHIT. That's Mr.Mistoffelees?!? Wow. He's pretty adorable. I wanna nibble on his ear...

[manifestgtr]

haha he's such a nerd...it's great

[raintalonwindclan]

Why are all the hot guys GAY?!? Nothing wrong with it in general, but...

[PrincessAlice1462]

@raintalonwindclan

I know right??? I have nothing against gays but damn....

[TribalStudios18]

see this guy says three times that misto is a teenager ok we get it, obviously he knows only so much about misto himself, and you have all this fans making up stuff like family lines and scenarios between misto and victoria that dont even exist, get over it ppl...

[Forestgirl925]

This is nice. But do you pepople have something with/about Drew Varley? I'm searching...

[ReiddityReidReid]

I fell head over heels in love with this man when I was 8, only to find out a couple years later that he was gay. I cried for two hours, no joke. They get all the good ones.

[catmynameizcat]

ohmygosh, jacob is so hot its not even fair! wanting to kiss him in his cat costume is totally understandable. and plz tell me that the people who disliked him were just being contrary.

[chell2272]

Mr. Mistofflelees is my favorite. also jacob brent is sooo freaking hot i love him, hes also an amazing dancer. ♥♥

[1122Damien]

I would love to kiss him in his cat costume is that wierd?

[LeaAmandorable]

@1122Damien MEE TTOOO!!!!

[NatalieAnnFox]

Noticed this video was added on my birthday! XD

[SingASong3211]

[RawrxCheerStar]

Man. He's so adorable it's not even fair!

[depeau44]

[LeaAmandorable]

@depeau44 ?

[depeau44]

@LeaAmandorable what is it that u dont understand???

[ocaraquemudoudeideia]

it's sad to think the actors are WAY older than us! crap, i'll never have a chance with veerle casteleyn, phyllida crowley smith or jo gibb...

[JustiiceIsTheShiiz]

Who Else Gets All Giggly And Exciited When Watchiing Him ?? :D Oh Goosh , ii Love Him To Death !!!

[utevon]

I had a crush on Misto since i was seven. Same with Tugger. Hehehe :) can't say that I don't. :)

[ang1735]

Omg! I LOVE JACOB BRENT<3! he is also my role model!!!!!!!!!! Ive seen CATS live with him in it when i was 2 and he was MY FAVORITE BY FAR!!! I LOVE him soooooooo much I wish I could meet him!!!!

[phantomschristine18]

AAAAAAAAHHHH!!! HE Is sooooooo HOT! I cannot wait until i get to perform live in new york so i can meet him!

[jacobbrent796]

CATS was made on my birthday year 1998

[kanumbra]

if only i could sing and dance!

acting just wont cut it D:

i wanna be in cats!

[angel56277]

When was this interveiw?

[jake110897124816]

Why are so many actors in musical theater attractive? 

[tppipersa]

EEEEEEEKKK!!! Jacob is my ROLE MODEL!! i am sooo happy that he stayed with the show...GOD i wish it was still playing (WITH HIM) ughhh THUMBS UP IF YOU LOVE HIM AS MUCH AS I DO!!!!!!!!!

[chynawells12]

i love him he is so talented and cute shhh dont tell !!!

[SZRD]

Jacob, judging from the reactions to your videos as Mistoffeles in youtube, there are tons of people out there who envy that physical therapist who worked on you at the theater. ;)

[jupiterscott316]

oh, and is it just me? I've always thought that Skimble and Mistoffelees were like, best friends. I've thought that since I was little, anyone else?

[jupiterscott316]

my inspiration right here :) <3

[Ladymuse100]

he is soooooo cute!!!! i love him!!!!!!!

[NintendogsRox01]

where did you find this?

[willowezralee]

ahaha. im not saying this to bash jacob, but have you noticed in the 1997 CATS movie that he is in practically every single scene!? he's great though.

[nicmic42]

@willowezralee hes not in skimbleshanks's number....I think it's because he has to get ready for his big number, changing, new make up, coming down from the sky, etc.

[MCullenHightopp]

@nicmic42 Wasn't that, like, three songs after Skimble's number? O.o

[TheBroadwaybabe01]

Jacob Brent is my theatre inspiration! ♥♥♥

[animallover2047]

Mistoffelees should have had more solos.

[Umbreonloverpokemon]

u gotta luv tugger's original costume cuz i know it made me laugh

[mlamp96]

I gotta say. My two favorite parts are when he says 'Presto' and 'The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore' I replay those two songs over and over again just for those reasons.

[AwESomeRifficK798]

Hee Heez.

i Geet 2 Waatch This Seexy Guuy Wen ever i Wanna.

>:) i Haas The Cats Moviie.

[Tylendal242]

Who here agrees that Andrew Lloyd Webber obviously owned several cats?

[JesterofRejection]

i like wen he ssays "The rum tum tugger is a terrible bore" in the movie

[abcde651]

scratch that

[abcde651]

jacob brents not british?

[890rich]

im wondering why they stoped touring cause i reeeeeeeaaaaaaaaallllllyyyyyyy want to be in a cats musical ssssssssssssoooooooooooo bad. i practice EVERY day and i even made up my own character.

[nicmic42]

@890rich WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY STOPPED TOURING???!!! NOOO PSHT ITS PROBABLY CUZ THEIR GOING ONTO BROADWAY...PSHAW DUH PSH YEA....AND JACOB BRENT SAID THAT HE THINKS THEY WILL COME BACK AND HE IS NEVER WRONG.... SOOOO NO NEED TO WORRY....GAHHHH!!!!

[shelbadelba123]

Ivve had a crush on Mr. Mistoffeelees since i was 8

I love him the most!!!!

[jacobbrent796]

@shelbadelba123 me to but i liked him since i was 4

[MeMyselvesandPharaoh]

@shelbadelba123 So i'm not the only one!

[PhoenixBorealis]

If I was involved in Cats, I'd do in until the day I died! (Especially if it meant I could be near Jacob Brent!)

[Bitsy83]

OMG....HE'S AMERICAN?!?! When I saw the movie, I just assumed he was, I dunno, British. *shrugs* Not that it matters, of course. He's still fricking hot and an amazing dancer. And I personally don't care if he is gay. I have a lot of gay crushes, honestly.

[bookkeeper57]

@Bitsy83 Most of Cats are British; there are a few outstanding Americans in the cast, like Mike Gruber and Jake Brent.

[JohnLuckPickard141]

@Bitsy83 Yeah. Only three of the castmembers from the video version of CATS were American: Ken Page, Michael Gruber, and Jacob.

[raintalonwindclan]

@Bitsy83 Me too. John Partridge, Jacob Brent, not sure about Bryn Walters yet.

[raintalonwindclan]

@Bitsy83 Me too.

[JaydeZilla]

mmm! YUMMY!!!

[SuperGleek4life]

I love him! If he wasn't gay, I would so marry him. :)

I wish he was in more musicals though. He's too amazingly talented to be just in CATS! Although he's my favorite Mr.Mistoffelees ever!

[Yaoirocks78]

Lol.

It Pays His Rent.

[SruthiRhena101]

if he is gay thts actually great cuz it adds to the cat likness of his character, cats like to stalk, be kind of uppity, yet misto is bright cheeerful swwet, it all works

[LadySaanum93]

@SruthiRhena101 good point ^_^

[Yaoirocks78]

I Love This Amazing Man.

But Is He Gay ??

I'll Still Love Him If He Is I Just Need To Know !!

[4evermine0709]

@Yaoirocks78

yes he is . :(

[tophe6611]

@4evermine0709 no he is not gay

[gauntlet3gal]

@tophe6611 really???

[nicmic42]

@tophe6611 he's just a little fruity .... o.O

[JustiiceIsTheShiiz]

@tophe6611 Yush He Is .

[calloia567]

i love jacob brent!!!!! he is so kewt!!!!!

[dezdionio]

is he gay?

[jbLover9811]

hahah he's kinda cuter as a cat! no offense or anything, he's really talented! but there's somehting about particurally his costume thats really cute!

[grizzabella101]

if u stop at 07, it is NOT tugger!

[Thunderstorm961]

@grizzabella101

No duh, that was a much older version. The costumes weren't developed yet.

[SruthiRhena101]

@grizzabella101 it's tugger it's just not the guy u r used to seeing, the character always stay the same, it's the actors who alternate

[silenthillmaster755]

mister Mistoffelees eh? XD

[HarleyQuinzelle]

too bad hes gay!!!

[TwoAnimeEmoFreaks]

i always thought mr. mistoffelees was cute... hes cuter as the cat lol

[legs404040]

The Jacob Brent Fan Page

[21tiger12]

jacob brent you're kinda, sorta, reallllllllllllllly hot and sexy and amazingly awesome :D

[borfordie]

Aw he's sooo cute!

[bonezillion]

i named my tuxedo cat mr.mistoffelees...toffee for short :/

[jbLover9811]

@bonezillion oh! thats so cute, i like that!!

[dezdionio]

his my favorite CAT! jacob is so cute

[xlxsarah]

He has a slight Taylor Lautener (dunno if u spell his name like that) look

[nicmic42]

@xlxsarah i totally thought the same thing! Its kinda like how all the twilight fans are drooling over taylor laughtner. well, cats fans <3 Jacob brent lolll

[TLK61987]

You can tell he is gay Listen to how he sounds

[FinalFallenFantasy]

He was always THE Mister Mistoffelees to me :)

I was always amazed by his beautiful dancing; how can people say boys who do ballet are sissies? I mean, seriously, you can't dance like that unless you're fitter than a ruddy fiddle.

[Balletdancer980]

OMGGGGGGGGG!!!!! I am in luvvvv <3<3<3<3!!!!!! Him and charlie in "center stage" are my kinda guy!!!! :D

[teleryn0the0kitten]

Even if he's gay, he doesn't look and doesn't sound like it. I don't doubt it but it's not noticable anyways. HE IS AN AMAZING DANCER!

[Emzybbz100]

sopmehow he remins me of taylor launter / jacob black

[blackrose235]

@Emzybbz100 AGREED! lol yet when he has all his make up on o.O All i could think was: WHY am I reminded of Zachary Quinto? o.O odd I know lol but thats what stood out as soon as I saw Quaxo

[Emzybbz100]

@blackrose235 i thought he was mistofeelees?

[BroadwayBaby98]

@Emzybbz100 he looks like him haha!!

[lilmizzfitxo]

he is gourjus!!!!

[Spidey23girl]

Jacob Brent does NOT sound gay. If you think he sounds gay, you have not heard a gay man speak. He sounds cute when he talks ^.^

And even if he did/was, who cares?

[MizVanity]

@Spidey23girl "If you think he sounds gay, you have not heard a gay man speak." That's offensive. If you are implying that all gay men are flamboyant and have lisps, then you're very ignorant. Oh, and by the way, Jacob Brent is gay. Not that it's a big deal.

[Spidey23girl]

@MizVanity That isn't what I was implying at all. I was just replying to everyone who thinks he sounds gay. He really doesn't. "Sounding Gay" is a bad connotation, I know. I for one, don't care if he's gay or not. I happen to be bi.

[Balletdancer980]

i am in luvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

[whitevultur]

I think im in love <3

[TFluver]

Jacob Brent is married. Even if he sounds gay, he's married.

With that being said: Misto is my favorite. <3

[GerryButlersLoverr]

He's adorable mannnn... Michael Gruber and John Partridge have it covered in the sexy department, but Jacob Brent is definitely a cutie. hahaha

[Syndersover12]

Mr. Mistoffelees was always my favorite cat, but I'm sorry to say: Jacob Brent is gay.

(Hey, that rhymed; sorry to say, is gay!)

[AylaRselhesur]

@Syndersover12

so what? does that detract away from his awesomness?! <3

[mersecrets]

yeah he does sound gay! :D he's still amazing and i love his cat!

[smallchick1295]

mr. misto issss my favorite cat! i used watch the cat musical every day on video cassset. when i was little :] this is the first time ive seen him without his costume on

[DontBeAZombie]

[sheilarenee08]

[SpicyTaco29]

hes adorable :D

[flutie000]

I adore Jacob Brent! He is soooo amazing!!

[christianbaleluver12]

like umm-,....when he talks his mouth like goes  like really wide...lol

[xoaninha92]

..the obvious reason is it pays my rent :b

love him he's a great performer

[mutinykitty]

what year was this filmed?

[Jen3888]

He's totally gay, I haven't heard a leak sprung that bad EVER (meaning the way he anunciates his "s". SSSSSSSo..). He's a total flamer. Great actor though, I'm not knockin his performance. He's a good kid.

[arcadesfire]

I really love how he talked about physical therapy and injuries...I always wondered that when watching Cats. I love Jacob Brent!

[VictoriaWhatmore1]

He looks like my ex...:O...but mr M is my fave character :P

[baltolover272]

Amazing dancer, but there's no question he's straight as a circle.

[idkmybffroserox]

who cares if he's gay. he is an amazing dancer and great actor. yes i know he is doing ballet and stuff like that but that does'nt mean he's gay. and so what if how he describes his character, he is giving his opinion on misto.anyway jacob brent totally rox!!!!

[aquakid360]

I know he is doing something he loves, its obvious he does. I am a serious thespian myself and i get labeled all the time. It was just a joke, sorry if i offended you. But i love acting/dancing/singing too, so i know where he is coming from.

[aquakid360]

gaydar is going off the wall! total gayness... just listen to the way he describes his charater in the beginning! wow

[rems025]

does it matter, he is doing something he loves and getting pay for it. Labels for tomato can not people.

[crzyemobtch]

He is my favorite Kitty!!!

[santastocker911]

Jacob Brent is the BEST Mr. Mistoffelees EVER! He gets right into the character and makes it so believable! Everytime I watch cats and see him dance or sing it puts a smile on my face! I Love him soo much!

[Animeartist124]

I have a very finely tuned gaydar and I'd say 97-98% chance he is.

[JonathanAnon]

So which bit gave it away? the tights, the balletic dancing or the dressing up as a cat?

[Animeartist124]

Well I don't get vibes from every member of the cast. There are plenty of men in tights who dance ballet in cat costumes in Cats who I'm fairly sure are straight. It's his voice, the way he presents himself, and his word choice that told me for sure

[VaudevilleFreak]

I LOVE HIM! HE SO HOT

[StellaGiada]

i think the best is the rum tum tugger...!!! omg he's hot!

But i love jacob too! =)

[rubyrubyrubyruby27]

Hes so cool! I love this character

[AltmmM]

Surprise! ;)

[akkimam]

i think so.

[StarInTheMaking92]

I hope so ;) x

[x0SophieSuicide0x]

He's Hotter as Mr.Mistofelees

[LuLuBellsama]

iloveyou MISTO!!

You're an awesome dancer!

My fav character :D ♥♥

[DaughterxOfxBlaze]

I love Jacob so muchers

[RentPanda123]

Oh, does anyone know if there is a video somewhere of Jacob doing the Conjuring Turn (the twentysomething little spins that makes me gasp every time I see a Misto do it)? I'd love to find one.
