Anthony Warlow. My friends and I had been saying for years that Anthony would make a wonderful Daddy Warbucks, so we were thrilled when he took on the part in 2000. And although I didn't have a chance to see him on stage, I can easily imagine how wonderful it was - so good, in fact, that they added a new song just for him!

Victor Garber. Another performer that I really adore, and who also seemed to fit this role. In some ways, it's like his role on Alias - a father who is deeply devoted to his daughter underneath a rough exterior. And, of course, he sings beautifully! You can find a bio for Victor here.

Ann Reinking. When I was little and used to watch the Annie movie, I wanted to be Ann Reinking. She is just so elegant and "grace"ful and dignified. I had the chance to meet her several years later while working on Fosse, and it was all I could do not to gush incoherently over her performance in this film. For more, check out Ann Reinking & All That Jazz.

Alan Cumming. When I first heard about the Disney version, I thought, "Who on earth are they going to get to rival Tim Curry?" Then I heard they had cast Alan, and it all made sense. :-) He makes a perfectly sleazy Rooster, though not as dangerous as Tim Curry's (which I think was Disney direction, not Alan's decision). Anyway, I absolutely love him in the part! You can learn much more at Alan Cumming.com.
