Michelle Duffy cut her performing teeth as a rock singer and subsequently forged a successful acting career dominated by nonmusical roles. But during the past few years, she has been cast primarily in musicals, which she finds somewhat restrictive to her creative fulfillment and career goals. John Bisom, who got his first taste of the industry as a child extra on "Little House on the Prairie," had no singing or dancing training when he happened upon a career in musical theater. Both performers work hard to transition between musicals and nonmusicals, when given the opportunities.That 'Musical Woman'Duffy, born and raised in Wheeling, W.V., had been singing since she was a baby. She began studying piano and flute and went to choir camp as a child. In junior high, she took her first acting class, and her college degree program was musical theater. In high school and college, she supported herself.

Jeff Mitchell on Rue McClanahanI was working on a movie for Paramount called "The Fighting Temptations," directed by Jonathan Lynn and starring Cuba Gooding Jr. We were doing the New York casting. Rue McClanahan was pitched for it by her agent. She was doing a lot of television, but she wanted to do film very badly. We had her in to meet the director, who was British and didn't know her or understand she was a huge star in the United States. Rue took the material and she did her best. We knew what the scene was about and what the director wanted, but the communication between actor and director wasn't working properly. No matter what he was asking, he wasn't getting what he wanted. The casting director has to take a back seat when the director is running the casting session. Even though I thought I could be a...
