Hi Jason, I have just seen the movie 'Every Little Step'. Wow. Your monologue as Paul - soooooo believable...............sooooooooooooooooo on the money. Wow.
Thank you.
Cheers, Liz (Melbourne, Australia).

Hey, man. I just saw Every Little Step at a movie house near Seattle. You were wonderful. I have led many encounter groups and you are the first actor (film or stage) who reflected the deep sense of personal anguish and transcendence that seemed as authentic as what one experiences in a group. So thank you. Oh, and best to get out of Soaps as soon a you can. I wouldn't want you deaden your capacity for authenticity. You are capable of touching a live (or film) audience in an extraordinary way right now.

I am currently watching the movie "Executive Decision" (1996) and one of the good guys looks like he is your father! Do any of your relatives act?

After my daughter was in her John Jay HS production of A Chorus LIne this spring we went to see "Every Little Step" . I have to tell you that I was completely blown away by your audition for Paul!!!! I watch you everyday on OLTL and only know you as Markko. After seeing you in this movie, I see what a fantastic actor you are. Your audition scene made us all cry, it was beautiful! I only wish I saw you do it on Broadway.
Please keep up the good work, and Iook forward to seeing your work for many years to come!!!!!

Thanks for all your effort!

Dear Mr. Tam:
I’ve just seen the documentary “Every Little Step”—your rendition of Paul’s monologue in your audition scene was one of those electrifying moments that make live theater so rewarding (but that occur much less often in film) and I wanted to express my gratitude to you for it. Everyone in the audience I was part of was profoundly moved, and in fact, most of us were, like the panel you were in front of, in tears, or at least pretty choked up. You gave an extraordinary, deeply felt performance that resonated far beyond the screen.
I was a bit surprised, therefore, not to find any mention of the film on your website. And although I enjoyed the film very much, it seemed to me that the filmmakers chose to follow the auditions for several of the women’s parts in detail, while covering only one of the men’s parts—Paul. Given the power of your performance, I would have hoped to have learned, either from the film or on your website, something of how you prepared for the audition both technically (which presumably would have been an aspect of your education at Tisch) and emotionally (the source of your gifts as an actor).
My wife’s a writer and I’m a musician (and our son is a playwright) so we know something of the struggles an artist encounters in fashioning his or her work, especially at the outset of a career. From the information on your website, I gather you’re well beyond that stage now, but I’m guessing you must have drawn on your early experiences to inform the character you created in that scene. I hope you’ll get the chance to do a lot more legit theater as well as some substantial, challenging film roles, and I’ll look forward to seeing you in them.
Best regards,

I saw "Every Little Step." The movie was great and so were you. I have watched OLTL for over 30 years, and you are one of the best characters they've had. Congratulations on your success.

I love the way he is a very good Actor..Keep it up ok

Several years ago, when I saw your performance (the monologue) in the NYC revival of Chorus Line....I cried. Yesterday I went to see the movie Every Little Step, and when I watched the brief clip of your monologue.....I cried again. I live in Rhode Island and work at a major theater for touring productions and I go to NYC frequently to attend the theater. I have seen hundreds of musical productions and Chorus Line is one of my all-time favorites. As a gay man, your performance as Paul in Chorus Line is the most emotionally moving performance I have ever seen. Thank you!

Dear Jason,
Just wanted to let you know that I saw the documentary Every Little Step today and was blown away by your amazing performance of John. Dear God. You have an amazing talent! I was deeply moved and impressed. I hope some day to see you live and in person. :-)
Best of luck to you in all of your endeavors!

Dear Jason: I had the pleasure of seeing "Every Little Step" today. I was lucky to have seen the ACL revival at the Curran Theatre in SF and then later in NYC. I thoroughly enjoyed the film, especially you, Deidre and Chryssie (who always seemed to be bumping into the camera). Your audition piece before the producers was poignant and heartbreaking. Like the judges, I too had tears streaming down my face. Anyway, continued good luck on OLTL. Sincerely, Roman Castillo Jr. 47 in Austin, Texas

I just saw you in Every Little Step and (like many many others I'm sure) I'm completely inspired and moved by you. Thank you for reminding me why I act and pursue such an illogical dream. I hope that my work will one day connect with others the way your acting connected with me. Congratulations on all of your success! You are so deserving!
Sincerely,

Hi Jason,
Went to see Every Little Step after work and was overwhelmed by the clips of all the actors/dancers auditioning for the revival of A Chorus Line. Your audition was so natural yet profound. The whole audience was weeping. It pulled at the heart strings. That performance burns in my mind. Thank you for a womnderful performance.
Cheers,

Hi. Markko is great on the show. I really hope he gets a bigger story soon. It was awesome seeing Markko before the prom and after. Langston and Markko are an amazing couple! Do you still get your fan mail at the studios? I was just wondering if it takes long. Thanks.
Danielle.

We just saw Every little step and your monolouge was absolutely stellar! We are sorry we missed your performance in the Rival...
I produce a fundraising event in Santa Barbara, CA for www.dreamfoundation.org We've had everyone from Jordin Sparks to Kenny Loggins perform and a long list of others, if you'd ever consider lending your voice to our cause, we'd be honored. Best!

Your acting in A Chorus Line is truth. You have no mask.
05.24.09
I just saw you in "Every Little Step." Your audition for "A Chorus Line" brought me to tears (just like everyone that was in the room with you). Thank you for a wonderfully moving movie experience!

Hi Jason,
i just saw "Every Little Step' this afternoon. Your audition as Paul was absolutely amazing and very moving. I was just as moved in the movie theater as I was when I saw you on Broadway. I also appreciate the handwritten postcard you sent me in response to the letter I wrote to you after seeing you in the Broadway production of A Chorus Line.
I hope all is well with you.
Sincerely,
Carl Cavaliere

Saw "Every Little Step" yesterday. Just wanted to commend you on that audition scene. It was incredible!! Haven't been able to see "Chorus Line" revival, since I live in L.A., but now know I am missing an incredible performance. I saw the original back in '78 in New York, but, from the looks of it I bet it can compare. Thanks again for your performance and I hope great things will follow for you.
05.13.09
I just saw "Every Little Step" tonight. Your audition was devistating. It was the climax of the film. I've never cared for that monologue, but your performance (it can't be called an audition) was terrifically moving.
You're the top.

No need to reply. I just saw you in "Every Little Step" and thought you were brilliant. Had to find out where you studied, et al. Great job. Hope you'll keep your website updated, so your [new] fans can see where you're working and attend performances! Hope to see you work on the stage one day (or again on the big screen).

I just saw you in "Every Little Step". I thought you were wonderful.

Dear Jason,
This is Sophoan Sorn, Creator of the San Joaquin Film Society and International Film Festival.
I attended a special screening of "Every Little Step" at the San Francisco International Film Festival this Sunday.
I was so, so, so moved by your audition.
What an incredible talent you have!
I posted a review of it in my official blog. If you have a chance, you can read it at www.sjiff.org/creatorsblog.html
If you are ever in San Francisco - Bay Area of California, I would love to take you to lunch.
Ciao for now.
Best wishes,

Hi jason, Last night I saw Every Little Step - and just like Bob Avian and the rest of his casting staff, I was so moved to tears by your audition for A Chorus Line. You were so great, have so much talent, and while I didn't see the revival, I was so happy to get to Lincoln Plaza Cinemas to see this documentary of the show I saw as a 10 year old in 1982.. Wishing you the best of luck, and rising to the top wiki wiki! -Rachel

Hi, Jason
I met you at Super Soap last November and you were so kind. You came out to the gate to sign autographs. You came to me and you personalized my picture. That was so great of you to do. I was wondering if you were doing any events in the city any time soon. Please let me know. I would love to come down and see you in a show or event. Keep up the great work on One Life to Live!

I just saw Every Little Step .... a preview with the movie critic Jeffrey Lyons - I am a 76 year old lady who was brought to sobs by your performance --- I just want to wish you the best luck --- you deserve to be a huge star on Broadway, in Hollywood on TV or all three.
04.02.09
HI. Markko is just one of my favorite characters on the show. You are doing great work. I wanted to ask where has Markko been lately? He has not been on a whole that. How can that change? I miss him when he is not on screen. Thanks.
DANIELLE.

Hi. I've been enjoying your scenes with Brittany on One Life to Live, they've been awesome. I wanted to know do you have a fan club? Or will you start one soon? Thank you.

Hey Jason:
Great meeting you the other day (I was with Richard Jay Alexander. He is taking on my twin brother and I in creating a show for Feinsteins and Pops Orchestras).
Hope all is well, and perhaps see you around the city sometime.
Take care!

Hi. Thanks for the picture you sent me last week. You are doing great work on the show. Markko is one of my favorite characters. I hope Langston and Markko do not break up. Do you think they will? I just like them together. And would e-mailing the producers help too? Thanks.
Danielle.

Hey Jason,
I just thought I would let you know how great you were at Super Soap! You were so so nice! My friends and I had the t-shirts with markko and langston as one of the couples. Thanks for signing them and taking group pics with us! Your voice is amazing! I was in the third row for the street jams and you were wonderful. I recorded some of the numbers. They are on youtube if you wanna see them. My friends got the rest of the videos I didn't take. Thanks for being so kind and personable! Awesome job ( =

Hi. I just wanted to say that Markko's scenes have been really good latley. I was glad he went to the funeral for Langston, Starr and Cole. He is great. Your scenes are awesome now. I just want Markko to have a bigger storyline. So, would writing to you and Brittany help also? Thank you.
Danielle.

I just wanted to let you know my daughter and I saw you perform at SSW during Street Jam and thought you were awesome. My daughters are 16 and 18 and really enjoy the youthful story line with you, Brittany, Brandon and Kristen. We have been to the past 11 Super Soap Weekends and it was really nice to see how much fun you and Brittany seemed to be having. We appreciate your hard work, your incredible voice and especially coming to visit us in Florida. Thank you from St. Petersburg Florida.
