I just realized that today marks the 30th anniversary of David Hyde Pierce's professional debut -- and on Broadway, no less! It was Christopher Durang's play Beyond Therapy, starring John Lithgow and Dianne Wiest, and the fresh-from-Yale David Pierce played the small but showy part of Andrew the waiter. The show only ran for two weeks after 11 previews, but it was still a Broadway debut, an auspicious beginning to any actor's career.
Twenty years later, a CD was made of the play, for which Durang asked David to play the lead role of Bruce. He's wonderful in it, and it's really a must-have for any DHP fan.

Thank you, David, for giving the world such joy these thirty years!
