Person of interest: Actor Jonathan Visser

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: For those of you who have seen "Ruthless! The Musical" at CLO Cabaret, a question you're all asking yourself as you leave is, "How tall is Sylvia St. Croix?" So let's set that straight. Jonathan Visser, who plays Sylvia, is a lean 6 feet, 5 inches without the 3-inch heels he wears in the role. And those heels are nothing, said Mr. Visser, the 33-year-old native of a Seattle suburb. A few years back, he was performing a British panto show in Oregon that required a huge wig, gaudy costume and spike heels. Even though he had done stilt work, it was a rough go. "I was quite a sight," he admits.
