When I became a Todd fan, Roger was simply an actor, and it was the guy with the scar that was important to me. I had no trouble separating the two, and I was really comfortable with that. When his stories disintegrated, I realized that while I didn't like his story, I really enjoyed his performances. So I guess he stopped being Todd, and became about Roger and his talent, because there simply wasn't enough left of Todd to hold my interest and God knows I tried. I'd forgotten my initial fascination with Todd Manning, it's nice to remember what was most important to me, back in the days when I was truly intrigued by Todd Manning.
