2019 Broadway - Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical went to Andre De Shields for his role in Hadestown. It's his first Tony award.
The man is 73 years old. He gave one of the best speeches I've heard, and believe me, Tony Award winners give good speeches. As stage actors, they have gravitas.
With perfect timing, he had three things to say:
1. Surround yourself with people whose eyes light up when they see you coming.
2. Slowly is the fastest way to get where you want to be
3. The top of one mountain is the bottom of the next, so keep climbing.
That's your food for thought on a Friday.
Have a good weekend!
Very wise words.
