Didn't even realize it closed, wanted to know what Tom's bio said. Doesn't anyone have it? There's photos of it on multiple tweets that all comment on how dumb it is. It's two big paragraphs summarising all the films he's been in. I would post a picture but I've already packed this programme away. |

Looks like they haven’t wasted any time in taking the website down, but there’s an archived version of it here: web.archive.org/web/20240701200444/https://romeoandjulietldn.com/cast-creative/It is unusually detailed, with a focus on debuts and namedropping. Weirdly it doesn’t mention his actual screen debut - voicing Sho in the UK dub of Studio Ghibli’s Arrietty, alongside Saoirse Ronan, Mark Strong and Olivia Colman. (Disney did a separate dub with American stars.) |

(Disney did a separate dub with American stars.) Thank you for sharing the link. I'm still shaking off the cringe from his bio. It's really embarrassingly bad. Was anyone asking for Wikipedia synopses of his various projects - which, let's be honest, most have gotten him good reviews but that's about it - and then one little line at the end mentioning a theatre credit?! I love him but, wowza. |

This bio is very gushing but strangely refers to him as "Holland" rather than "Tom" which would have seemed more appropriate.
Just out of interest, does anyone know who normally writes those bios in the programme or on the website ? Is it the actor's agent or somebody attached to the production ? I assume the agent must be involved somehow providing information or approving it, or maybe not. I ask because he has a USA agent and that sort of bio strikes me as maybe having come from them - is that the sort of star bio you get on Broadway productions ?

I assume for someone of his caliber, someone writes it up and he approves it. I haven't seen the programme, but I imagine he was given a large amount of space to work with, and whoever works for him filled it in. Typically for a Playbill in the US, because it's all put together, you get a certain number of characters, but bigger stars get more. But few actually fill it out with a lot. Just for example, look at Hugh Jackman's most recent from The Music Man. But an interest contrast is in Three Days of Rain, which shows three caliber of stars with very different ways of approaching their bios. Julia Robert is obviously the biggest, but doesn't write that much. Bradley Cooper, who was still up and coming, fills his out a lot more. |

Presumably it will be AI now, or very soon. Just put in virtual word soup and get something back that's miraculous in 0.5 of a second. Might explain the impersonal 'Holland' part, as well - could think it's writing about a country.
n.b. I see today ebay uses AI now to deal with complaints.
