Thanks! I had the pleasure of seeing Kiley play the role twice (in my youth); he was my idol growing up, and I always dreamed that one day I would play the role myself. It's become something of a signature role for me (as it was for Mr. Kiley); I hope to have an opportunity to play it again soon.
Mine, too! He was one of the great influences of my life. Whenever I've played the role, I think of him, and I hope that my performance has done justice to his original vision, and that I can inspire others as he inspired me.
Very good. Any chance of seeing/hearing Richard Kiley's version?

I was privileged to see him perform the role of Don Quixote on Broadway lo those many years ago. It was one of the special experiences of my life.
