22 EXPOSED October, 2007 Who: Sarah Shonyo talking with JED RESNICK (stars as Mark Cohen in RENT) Location: Jed was in New York and Sarah Shonyo was sitting at her desk at home in her PJs (phone interview) E: So, do you ever google yourself JR: I’ve been known to submit to the guiltiness of selfgoogling. And do you know what I’ve discovered There are people with the same name as me! At least 2 that I know of – one’s an improv comedian. Seriously, I can’t believe there are other people named Jed Resnick. E: Wow. I was totally expecting you to deny it. JR: Oh. You’re right. Can I change my answer E: Given the number of complimentary comments regarding your performance as Mark Cohen, is it safe to assume that you have some groupies out there JR: (laughs) RENT definitely has a lot of groupies but I’m not sure if any of them specifically follow me. At least, I don’t have anyone around for the sole purpose of carrying my bags. E: Anthony Rapp is Broadway’s original Mark Cohen. Do you feel pressure to fill his shoes JR: Anthony Rapp’s performance is iconic. Ultimately I realized that I can’t recreate what he did for RENT, but to create my own Mark by bringing out the truth in the character and text. Anthony is amazing, though. E: Can you tell me the names of his 3 cats JR: Oh my God. Should I know this E: I hate to tell you, but none of them are named Jed. The names are Emma, Sebastian and Spike. JR: Sebastian Like the crab from the Little Mermaid E: Yeah, sure. So, have you ever been to Rochester Or will the performance in October be your first time JR: Nope. Never been to Rochester. What’s the name of the college there Carlton, right E: Actually, it’s Rochester Community and Technical College. But close enough. Do you know the name of the worldfamous clinic here JR: I should know this. Can you give me a hint E: Think of a condiment. JUST ASKING JR: Heinz! E: You’re bad at this game. It’s Mayo. Speaking of, what do you dip your french fries in JR: Ketchup. Definitely ketchup. E: Wrong answer. Try again. JR: Honey. I like dipping my fries in honey, too. E: The correct response was barbecue sauce. On a slightly less important note, you just graduated from Brown. What was your major JR: Actually, I was a double major. E: Good idea. Something to fall back on in case the whole singing thing doesn’t work out JR: Well, my degrees are in Theater and Classics. I love the study of ancient cultures and the Latin language. E: So you’re really banking on this theater thing working out, then JR: (laughs) Or I could rake in the big bucks by becoming a Latin tutor. E: You have a twin brother. Is his name Ned Fred Ted JR: Micah. E: Oh. Who’s older JR: He is by one minute. We are fraternal twins, we look nothing alike. Well, maybe we look like brothers. E: Does he sing as well as you JR: He probably sings as much as I do… Loudly and in several different keys… but he always has a song in his heart. E: So he’s really bad JR: (pause) He’s got his own talents. E: How are your karaoke skills JR: Terrible! I get really nervous. I know that doesn’t make any sense. E: You need to get over that. I have big plans to enter you into some karaoke competitions. You’d sing songs from RENT, of course. We’d make a killing. JR: That’s not a bad idea. E: Finally, I have to ask: Daylights, sunsets, midnights, cups of coffee, inches, miles, laughter or strife. How do you measure a year JR: Love, of course. E: That’s touching. But love wasn’t an option. JR: Oh, right. Cups of diet coke E: (silence) JR: Ok, fine. Laughter. Laughter is really important. E: Good job. Did you like that RENT reference I could be a groupie. The national tour of RENT starring Jed Resnick as Mark Cohen will be performing at the Mayo Civic Center on Thursday, October 25th. • • • • • • • •
