Marty / Wayne Wilcox Appreciation

[Potterxxx]

he WAS really nice, but she already had a nice guy: Dean. i love marty to death, but i think another nice guy would be repetitive.

[rorylovesjess]

Well, I think Dean kinda of lost the niceness factor...and besides shouldn't we be rooting for a "nice" guy for Rory? I mean I love Jess, and I love him with Rory, but he was a "bad" guy and Logan is a "AWFUL" guy, so I think by the end o fthe series, Rory should have someone who can care about her, and I don't really mind if it is repetitive, because I find Marty a "funny" guy to begin with, and if Rory can't be with Jess, Marty is really the only perfect choice...and he is sooo cute!!!!

What Wayne sings in RENT:

Will I lose my dignity
Will someone CARE
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare

He plays a man sick and dying with AIDS

[WrittenStars]

I love that part of the song! (well of course since its Wayne Wilcox!) He has such a great voice, really pure sounding. (it that makes sense at all) 
Marty was such a great friend to Rory and would have been a great boyfriend

[anastagee]

Rory REALLY needs to take a good look at the boy she's chosen to be with and realize that he's just a rich jerk who has anger/jealousy issues, a history of cheating and fooling around majorly in the past, and who is just plain wrong for her. He's been a completely bad influence for her. Sure, she's had some good times through him, she's become more adventurous, I guess, but the things that have happenned in her life in relation to him (and the Huntzburger family as a whole) have put Rory in aweful situations. Rory questioned her ability to write for crying out loud! For all the years we have watched Rory grow up, she has ALWAYS wanted to be a journalist. She wrote for the Chilton newspaper, the Yale Daily News, and she always knew that she wanted to be a journalist- until Mr.Hotshot jerk Huntzberger showed up... really, doesn't Rory deserve better?

I say BRING MARTY BACK!

Marty was kind, understanding, genuine, honest, and he really liked Rory. You could see it in his eyes (great acting, by the way-- I'd take you over Logan anyday, Marty).

Rory deserves someone who will treat her with respect, dignity, kindness, love- and she should be able to be with someone who's loyalty and affection she doesn't have to question.

C'mon, Rory, enough with the bad-boy chase, already. Catch the boy who's been falling for you all along.

Did anyone else see Wayne on Law & Order, playing a Kevin Federline-esque white rapper? It was hysterical! Especially since I know him as Marty, and the two characters are sooo incredibly different. He did a good job.


"L&O" Rips Britney, K-Fed from the Headlines

A talent-challenged wannabe rapper who's built a career on the back of his gum-chomping, seatbelt-averse celeb wife?

Stop us if you've heard this one before.
 
According to the producers of Law & Order, the preceding set-up is fictional and does not depict any actual person or event. Apparently, they've lapsed on their subscription to Us Weekly.

Dick Wolf's long-running procedural will kick off its 17th season with just such a couple--a fictionalized pair of suspects who bears a striking resemblance to Kevin Federline and Britney Spears.

In the show, the couple, J-Train (Wayne Wilcox) and Sky Sweet (Barbara King), bear several similarities to K-Fed and Spears, both in terms of storyline and physical appearance.

Hopefully, that's where the parallels stop.

In the episode titled "Fame," J-Train becomes the prime suspect in the murder of an NYPD detective and gets arrested when the killing is connected to incriminating photos of his paparazzi-hounded starlet wife (she's snapped dropping the baby in Central Park and then leaving the kid alone in a car while she runs into a coffee shop, per the New York Post), forcing the oversaturated couple even further into the media spotlight.

I should probably post this in Show and Cast Member News, but the article isn't really all that Wayne-related, so I thought here would be more appropriate..

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Rent with all my heart.
And I got so excited when I saw him in it.
I started bouncing up and down going "THAT'S MARTY!"
And welll.......

[Imy]

although i don't think marty is rory-boyfriend material i do like him and maybe him and rory could have dated for a while and i do feel sorry for him they were such good friends and you can't help who you love!

[MonicaKeller]

I liked Marty when I first saw him.

I liked how Richard seemed to like him when he first met him at the Yale game. Richard doesn't like to many people like that instantly.

I also thought that Marty was like Luke in a way that he has been pining her like Luke pined for Lorelai. I just wish that they could of ended up togther.

[ErinG]

I don't know if he has already been a topic, but oh well.
Whatever happened to Marty??
I always wished Rory would of went out with him instead of Logan.


Anyone else have any comments about Marty??[/tt]

[cherilee13]

I always liked Marty and thought that he would have been better for Rory then Logan, but it wouldn't have made for good episodes.  There wouldn't have been all the conflict and kind of extreme scenes.  I do like Wayne Wilcox and would like to see him in more things and singing more.  He sings really great.  I really love Rent and have seen it many times.  To this day, though, I wonder if I said MARTY out loud in the theater when I first saw him in it.  I know that I sure was thinking it. 

[gilmore for life]

marty was funny but not rorys type

[nikki]

OMG please tell me we didn't forget to re-erect the marty thread.

Giggles. That certainly deserves a Dirty!

I thought Rory and Marty had chemistry, but well after what Rory pulled him...I wouldn't want him to be the next guy that never got over Rory. What is she supergirl? So maybe she should do some pining after her friend...take up Luke's old hobby.  Maybe he can give her some pointers.

I completely agree! Rory is no siren, so what's with all these boys falling at her feet? And what's with them not being able to get over her? Sheesh! I too love the idea of Rory pining after someone for once.

This week, I watch an epi from season 5, aww, and Marty was in it. And I fell in love with him again... It was the episode when Rory fell asleep on his bed.

That was the episode that really won me over for Marty. The fact that she could sit that intimately with him and fall asleep on his bed meant she was so comfortable with him. I know that's also a sign that she wasn't attracted to him (because she wouldn't have done that if she had been) but to me it was indicative of something more meaningful - how much she trusted him. The best foundation for a friendship, which is the best foundation of a relationship, IMO. That scene was what made me go back and look at their easy friendship we saw in a couple episodes of Season 4 and wished they had started something then. Oh, look at that! Apparently I'm repeating myself.

I actually wish the show hadn't made Marty fall for Rory in Season 5, and DEFINITELY wish they hadn't turned him into Pod!Marty in season 7. Since I was so dissatisfied with how the show handled Marty, I decided to rewrite history and wrote my own fanfic of how Rory and Marty's story could have gone. I posted about it here in the FanFiction thread.
