“My boy Bill I will see that he’s
named after me. I will!”~ Carousel
John
Raitt was one of the most iconic leading men of the Golden Age of Broadway.
His
strong built body, good looks, attitude, and booming voice made him the epitome
“macho man”. His acting style was also
extremely developed for the musical theatre.
He
originated roles such as, Billy Bigalow in Carousel
and Sid Sorokin in The Pajama Game.
Many
male actors look up to him today because he was able to convey the complexity
of characters such as Bigalow, and the crooning romanticism of characters such
as Sorokin. He knew how to take control
of a stage and his voice could catch anyone’s attention. He will always be remembered as one of the
men who coined what it really meant to be a leading man.
