I read in an article today that his birth name is Scott, but they called him "Scott-aye" so when he went to Hollywood, he kept the "Taye".

Scott, Taye, I really don't care what your name is, just take your shirt off.

I think I enjoyed his Punk'd episode (3rd clip down if you have not seen it) more then most of his other television/movie appearances

Oh...and if you listen, the "doctor" calls him Scott.


Note: I liked him in Day Break. Of course they canceled that 6 episodes in...

I liked him in Rent...

Isn't that a Musical/Broadway play? I avoid musicals like the plague!

I'm really not huge into them either. But that one I liked. I saw it on a field trip in high school and I watched the movie. I think Taye was in the original Broadway cast and in the movie. I enjoyed it. However, I refuse to see Hairspray even if it does have uber young hottie Zac Efron in it.
