Meet the cast of THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY: Shakespeare's Kings and Queens, which opens TOMORROW! Today’s featured player is Spencer Pilcher!
Character: I play Prince Hal, later known as King Henry V. As Prince Hal, he's a bit of a slacker and a goof-off, but definitely a people person. As King Henry, he is trying to find out how to be his own king, rather than a copy of his father.
Some past productions/ roles you've done, with us or elsewhere: With ITC, I've recently been Dogberry in Much Ado, Macbeth in Macbeth, and Duke Orsino in Twelfth Night. I've also recently been in PWLT's The Secret Garden as Albert Lennox and LTA's A Christmas Carol as the Ghost of Christmas Present.
About Spencer: I'm an engineer by day, theatre kid by night. I love spending time with other theatre folks, as well as watching movies and playing video games.
Favorite quote or scene from this play: I want to say it's the "Undercover Boss" scene where I say of the king (myself) "I think he would not wish himself any where but where he is." But truly my favorite scene and line is the Richard III and Elizabeth scene and the line "Without her, follows to this land and me, to thee, herself, and many a Christian soul, death, desolation, ruin and decay. It cannot be avoided but by this; it will not be avoided but by this."
A fond memory: Getting Japanese food with a gang of royals Richard II, Richard III, my on-stage father (Henry IV), my on-stage son (Henry VI)... and Falstaff.
Favorite fictional royal: If he counts as "royalty," then Emperor Kuzco! Otherwise, it's probably King Candy.
Shout out to the directors for stepping outside the box and trying out a new sort of show for ITC!
