The MST Q&A: Hear the Lion Roar

Making his Theater for Youth debut as Aslan (left), creator of Narnia, is Patrick D. Earl in THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW.

Parents might remember Patrick as a sort of "everyman" in this season's THE HEIDI CHRONICLES on the MainStage. If they didn't, they will get a second chance as he takes on the role of Charles II in the regional premiere of OR, this March.

Let's learn a little bit more about Patrick as he fills out the MST Q&A ...

Full given name: Patrick Damien Earl

Hometown: Grand Rapids, MI

Zodiac sign: Aries

First Houston show ever saw: The Bacchae - Nova Arts Project

Favorite post-show meal: Wings

Performer you would drop everything to go see: Ian McKellen

MAC or PC? Mac

The Heidi Chronicles

Last book you read: Magician's Nephew (Chronicles of Narnia)

Must-see TV show: The Office, Bones, Weeds, and 30 Rock in any order

Last good movie you saw: The Town

Special skills: I can juggle and do aerial silk...but not at the same time.

Who would play you in the movie? A Superhero...Especially Robin, but only if it was a Batman directed by Christopher Nolan.

Worst onstage mishap: Split my pants swing dancing in Midsummer... butt facing the audience.

My guess is Patrick meant he would like to play Robin in the movie. I can assure you, Patrick doesn't go around in tights and a cape usually. My next question though, is which Robin? Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, or Tim Drake?

And that's the word on the street ...
