I am watching "Act One" right now, and Hamilton is performing beautifully. Whenever someone says that an actor, musician or any other type of performer is bad, I am reminded of a documentary I saw about guitartist Keith Richards. He lay down his guitar in front on him, looked at the documentary crew and said, "All of you blokes playing your air guitar, you think you're so great. Pick it up. Go ahead. Play it. Let's see what you've got."
I feel the same way about people criticizing actors. After a lifetime as a movie and TV variety show fan, I thought acting would be easy and fun. Then I had a second lead in a fun little musical comedy. I was so awful, I even changed accents from the first act to the second! I still don't know why I did something so idiotic. It was tough.
