A movie is being made about Bart's life. He went to high school in my hometown and got his start in singing when he randomly chose choir as his elective in place of football...he broke both ankles in one play. Really cool. Thought I'd share for his fans.

He's just such a great guy and his family has seen its share of tragedies. A great story that should be told. Told his choir teacher, "I will never, ever, perform publicly on my own." She's urged him to try out for the musical, "Oklahoma". He ended up getting the lead.
Then in college, their theater arts dept was also doing Oklahoma. He went to the try outs just out of curiosity and ended up heckling the guys trying out bc they did the role no justice. The director finally turned around and said, "why aren't you trying out then?" He got the role there too.
