...Masiell accomplish the near-impossible--he holds an audience's attention, alone, for some two and one-half hours. As a stage presence he has many gifts: a well-controlled and expressive singing voice, grace as a dancer, and the knack of an accomplished professional. He knows when to smile, when to chat with the audience, when to casually sling his jacket over his shoulder--and all this helps.

...bulging eyes and thin, strangled voice convey inner torment and rage better than any film star today. He frequently suggest a cross between Anthony Perkins and Jack Nicholson--a homey, sardonic, seventies Norman Bates--and those quivering depths make his comparatively restrained performances in The Great Gatsby and Smile teeter devastatingly on the brink of an explosion.
