This article talks about Jimmy need for the Lead actor to get a spray tan. The actor agrees to do this. I do not believe that this actor should have done this. It is one thing to die your hair or shave your head. It is different to ask an actor to get chemicals sprayed all over their body for the show. I understand that the actor had a choice in this but I do not believe it should have been asked. Besides this it was very interesting to see how Jimmy realized he had changed. He was once a carefree sun guy and now is a businessman. It was nice to read that to get his head back to what it was he needed to perform unplanned. This shows a lot about who he is as a person. he cares more about the music than getting the money and fame from it. I can’t wait to see this show!
