A weekly feature in which we spotlight shining stars
THE PERFORMER | Hugh Dancy
THE SHOW | Hannibal
THE EPISODE | “Buffet Froid”
THE AIRDATE | May 30, 2013

Hell's bells folks,

I've just started watching Moone Boy and who has just popped up on my screen but the illustrious Honerary Patron Saint of obasc, Peter McDonald!

Dear obascians, can anyone tell me who this is?



Thanks!

Photos of Tom attending the Broadway opening of One Man Two Guvnors on Wednesday night have been uploaded to several photo agency websites. Patrick McMullan have 4 lovely photos of Tom, while Wire Image and Getty have more.  Some unwatermarked and gorgeous photos of Tom have appeared on Zimbio, Theater Mania and Playbill. 

Look who's going to the White House for dinner tonight?

I love it, you can just tell he's squeeing.

According to this article, Damian Lewis is also invited.

You guys, I am *flailing* over Damian Lewis in Homeland. Flailing, I tell ya. I only just started watching yesterday and it's so intense and I wish I wasn't in the office now writing this post but watching more episodes. I can't deal with how good Damian is in this.

In other news, Brendan Coyle retweeted me on twitter the other week which made me squee. It shouldn't because he is THE WORST TWEETER IN THE WORLD so him retweeting me sort of makes me an accomplice in that train wreck but I don't care, Bates retweeted me, everything is beautiful and nothing hurts!

Also, faeriequeen alerted me that Andrew Garfield is currently starring in "Death of a Salesman" on Broadway so I'll have to go check that out.
