If you have a favorite astromycologist, I'll bet a week's worth of replicator rations that it's Commander Paul Stamets of the USS Discovery . Anthony Rapp, who breathes life into the character, got his big break playing Mark Cohen in the groundbreaking musical Rent. Rapp wrote a memoir about the experience, which he then adapted as a stage musical, telling the story of his journey in Rent through the lens of two tragic deaths that occurred at the time. Now his one-man musical, Without You , is opening off-Broadway, and he joined me to talk about it. Visit withoutyoumusical.com for tickets.

Here we ask our guest 10 question in an effort to get to know the person behind the name. Today I am joined by Star Trek Discovery’s Anthony Rapp.

At long last, Beth and Sarah have the extreme privilege of talking to the very thoughtful and inspirational Anthony Rapp (the original Mark in Rent) via the world's shoddiest phone connection. Anthony tells tales of the distant past when cassette tapes and boom boxes still existed as he walks through his journey from not being very excited to audition for a "rock opera," to getting goosebumps hearing "Seasons of Love" for the first time, to realizing Rent was going to be "kind of an event." He also compares his experience working on Rent to his much less fulfilling experience working on the movie Twister, he reveals which cast member was the first to miss a performance, and describes what makes him want to punch a Mark in the face. Tune in if you're looking for a very thorough and satisfying answer to a bunch of dumb questions about the scarf, and enjoy the most realistic version of "Life After Rent" yet!' -- SHOW INFORMATION Instagram: @EverythingIsRent Twitter: @Everything_Rent Email: EverythingIsRentPod@gmail.com Subscribe: Apple Podcasts Subscribe: Spotify
