Was originally supposed to play Tootsie Noodles in Starship, but when he was cast on Glee the role got handed to Dylan Saunders who also plays Pincer. Can you image Darren Playing Tootsie? WE SURE CAN'T!
when They created avpm
The team cast the parts before the script and music had even been written and some of them paraphrased a lot of their lines because they didn't know them all! Also, they only had a budget of about $150!
Nick Langmakes puppets
He and his brother, Matt write and direct most of the Starkid plays, but that's not all! Nick is a master at making puppets and other stage props such as both Batman and Egghead's headpieces in Holy Musical B@man! Not only that, but when they first though of making AVPM, Voldemort was originally going to be a puppet that Nick had already made. Later, though, they decided to use Joe.
Disney Movies
And the T.V series Avatar: The Last Airbender play a big part in the making of all the Starkid's productions. They will sometimes even quote them in the plays as well. An example?- in AVPS, Lucius says to Draco, "It seems banishment was far too merciful a punishment" the source?- the movie The Last Airbender.
