melissak26 2 months agoIt’s always weird seeing someone you know on Buzzfeed. I did community theatre with Dave Perlow in high school. Nice guy. We also were at NYU at the same time, ran into him once or twice. Speaking of NYU alums, where’s my man Brian Charles Johnson, huh? He was in one of my classes right when he got cast for Spring Awakening, he was so excited…now he’s started in TWO Broadway musicals! Boys doing good for themselves. :)
