![Douglas Howard Sills (born July 5, 1960) is an American actor and singer.[1]
He made his professional stage acting debut with principal roles in the national tours of Into the Woods and The Secret Garden. He is most well-known for his leading roles in the Broadway production and national tour of The Scarlet Pimpernel, the Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors, and the national tour of The Addams Family.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:d2f2glgid26w3hoakmqdxm3k/bafkreiguvm6lo3cwqigmv44u3fui3vrxpr7al5lzu4ge2nbyaacrzmqdgi@jpeg)
![During the 1990s, Sills built a reputation as a stage character actor, especially in the professional theaters of southern California. He also performed in several national tours, including Into the Woods and The Secret Garden, which would also feature future Broadway stars as James Stacy Barbour and Audra McDonald. His first Broadway role, however, came when composer Frank Wildhorn and lyricist Nan Knighton approached him in hopes of finding a male lead for their new musical, The Scarlet Pimpernel. Before this audition, Sills told his agent not to send him to any more auditions because he planned to attend law school. With a score in the 99th percentile on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), Sills hoped to attend Stanford Law School. However, being a fan of the movie as a child, Sills decided to give acting one more chance and was offered the lead as Sir Percy Blakeney.[6]
Douglas Sills opened in his first Broadway show on November 9, 1997. Continuing the role in three other versions of the show, Sills received a Tony Award nomination. He portrayed the foppish hero in SP 1.0 (The Original Broadway Production, starring Terrence Mann, Christine Andreas and Gilles Chiason), SP 2.0 (the revised Broadway production, starring Rachel York and Rex Smith), and for several months in the national tour.[7][8] Although rumored as playing the title role in Wildhorn's Dracula, the Musical, Sills opted out (despite doing a recording demo), and Tom Hewitt portrayed the gothic character at the premiere at the La Jolla Playhouse in 2001.[citation needed] He played Orin Scrivello and several other roles in the 2003 Broadway revival cast of Little Shop of Horrors.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:d2f2glgid26w3hoakmqdxm3k/bafkreidvlpipa7yv7rvjcbrzfnfxexmjbywwo23otcqjfsiaigd4klo4z4@jpeg)
![Personal lifeSills is gay. He said in 2015, "I’ve been out since the beginning of my career—I was never in."[21] Sills met then-partner Todd Murray in 1994 while touring with The Secret Garden,[22][23] and the relationship ended in 2013.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:d2f2glgid26w3hoakmqdxm3k/bafkreicpl2hru4ro7bz32eewmr2oxbli7t5asmt3j3pzvzp67lgvhygxdu@jpeg)

3/3 A mile or so along the coast at Blakeney, an open book, an ouroboros (a snake eating its tail), the allegorical figure of grief, a cross and a coffin on the late 18th Century headstone of Biddy Jackson.

Last time I went there, about 15 years back, before my mother died, I and my partner (who is a brown person) were subjected to very nasty racist verbal abuse. I vowed never to return. Yes, Cley, Blakeney etc. are pretty on the surface. But underneath, the 'hills (such as they are) have eyes'. Creepy

Blakeney was wrong.
A higher threshold to enact the NWC should have been included like 2/3 of the legislature
Proportional representation may be the only way to limit the use of the NWC

Percy Blakeney sailed so that Bruce Wayne could fly
(I adore the Leslie Howard/Merle Oberon version 💕)

Of course I had to watch The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934) today.
Fun trivia: Stan Lee called The Scarlet Pimpernel "the first character who could be called a superhero."

Not a day of many birdy highlights until late on this afternoon, thanks to this super Spotted Redshank on Pat's Pool (a late-ish date for a Cley autumn bird, although, very occasionally, one may winter out in Blakeney Harbour).

There really are. (I actually think that in 5-10 years my new love will make a really good Percy Blakeney. I have never thought that anyone else could play that part since Doug.)
