[NEohioPAL] The death of Donnie Long

[Martin Friedman]

Hello All, 
 
the other day the wonderful actor and all-around nice guy, Donnie Long passed away. 
 
I had the honor of working with him several years ago on a production of Into the Woods. He played
one of the Princes' (along with Ryan Bergeron). Donnie was grand (as was everyone involved with that 
production). 
 
Donnie always had a good word for everyone and sunk his teeth (pun intended) into the role of
the wolf. I remember discussing the character for several hours throughout the production period. Ever 
the psychologist, he wanted to know both the Prince AND the wolf's motivation and background. We had
a grand time figuring out the wolf's past. 
 
Another good guy and actor has passed from the scene. The guy was certainly the most valued. 
 
Martin Friedman
