Nick Adams STILL being asked about Mario Lopez

It was way back in 2008 that Mario Lopez, in his pre-Extra days, came to Broadway to take over the lead in A Chorus Line.

There was a member of the cast named Nick Adams who happened to have bigger muscles than Mario. So Nick found himself having to wear a sweatshirt in order not to overshadow the STAR.

The episode made the attractive and oh-so-talented Nick more famous than he had ever been before and he has proven himself to be worthy of the attention with roles in Guys and Dolls, La Cage Aux Folles and is one of the leads in the current hit Priscilla: Queen of the Desert.

But he is still being asked about Mario!

“I mean it’s ridiculous! I am very good friends with him,” Nicks tells Queerty.com. “I set him up with his fiancée (Courtney Mazza) and the mother of his child. I’ve known her for over ten years, and she was in A Chorus Line with me. I went with them on their first date. We were never feuding. There was never a fight between the two of us!”

Nick did make a point I had not read elsewhere thought regarding Lopez and his stint on Broadway: “When he joined the show, it was beneficial to all of the cast members because it helped us run another six months. So I’m not going to be upset about celebrities, I understand the point of star casting, he came in he helped us run longer, and I got paid longer. They may have changed my costume and put me in the back, but like I still got paid so I’m not mad about that.”

Okay, so let’s hope that will be the last time Nick, a longtime Greg In Hollywood fave, is asked about MuscleGate!

But do read the rest of the Queerty chat. It’s interesting to get Nick’s thoughts on the political nature of the Tony Awards and his desire to be a working actor and not necessarily a star.

Too late though – Nick already is a star!
