...assigned to female singers, is performed by a male student, Christopher Thorpe '98, who someone must have decided was a counter-tenor of some sort. However, all of his lines sounded as if they were sung in a bad falsetto. The odd effect was emphasized by a very strange makeup job which made Thorpe's Sorcerer seem not like something supernatural or frightening but merely a werewolfish extra from a very bad horror movie...

In Anaconda, Heat and U-Turn, Voight has proved he can be as scrofulous and evil as the next bad guy. But it takes some effort. "For Heat I was in the makeup chair for four hours," says Voight, who sought a "fungal quality" for his skin.
