    I remember how much I loved this show with Gregory Hines in it (I still love this show but Gregory's comedic timing was on point which added a layer of awesomeness to the cast). He was a great talent in this show (as well as in movies). It is a shame that we lost someone so talented who added so much positivity into this world.

    Will&Grace in peak form. Perfect writing, perfect character, perfect set-up where a guest actor actually interacts with all four of them, showing them in a new light. And it all works like a dream cause Hines understood the assignment. You're adding to the regular cast, not promoting yourself and pointlessly trying to steal a scene. Demi, Matt, Ellen, Madonna... They were all cool, but they were THEMSELVES, almost like guest appearing on SNL... Gregory Hines IS Ben Doucette here!
