"I Dreamed I Met A Galilean..."

Sad news today. Jason Raize, a former colleague of mine from Jesus Christ Superstar, apparently committed suicide last week. Jason played Pontius Pilate when I joined the Superstar tour in Sept/Oct 1995. He was only 20 years old then and I was his understudy. After Jason left the tour that December, I took over full time as Pilate.

Jason was a beautiful young man and incredibly gifted. He had the most gorgeous voice I have ever heard. He later found fame on Broadway starring as Simba, the lead character in the original "Lion King."
