Roger talks to Joanne Kaufman at the Wall Street Journal about his career and about taking over from Nathan Lane as Gomez in "The Addams Family".
"I told Nathan: 'I'm going to step into your shoes. Will you leave them by the armoire?'
"He's my hero," Mr. Rees deadpanned. "I write to him and he refuses to answer. I'm like his worst fan."
The tango-crazed ghoul Gomez "is a big old part," he continued. "It's like Toby Belch in 'Twelfth Night.' You drive the whole play. As I'm rehearsing I go: 'That was a big scene. Oh, my God, there's another big scene.' But it's like Nike. Just do it."
