For those who don’t know, Kenny Ortega is the gay director and choreographer known for his films Newsies, Hocus Pocus, High School Musical, and the Michael Jackson documentary (forget the title).
Back when I was a young, cute 25 year-old aspiring actor in Hollywood, he attended one of my actor showcases. He actually talked with me afterwards, he was very nice and friendly and complimented me and suggested other material he thought I’d be good in. He had two young twinks with him, about 18. At the time, I just assumed they were his son and his son’s friend. (The twink who I assumed was his son showed up for class the following Saturday, but didn’t continue coming afterwards).
How many twinks has he worked with? Christian Bale in Newsies, Omri Katz in Hocus Pocus (you can tell that torn shirt scene at the end was made for gay eyes), Zac Efron in High School Musical..
Now he appears to be grooming Charles Gillespie in Julie and the Phantoms?
