There were also genuinely amazing performers who made me realize how limited my own skills were. I remember seeing this one guy, who was a few years older, named Josh Gad. He won every national tournament my freshman year, and I said, “This kid’s going places!” like I was a 1920s silent movie director. Then I completely forgot about him until I went to see The Book of Mormon on Broadway and thought, Who is this talented fella! I looked at the Playbill and thought, Another Josh Gad?
