Ron Bohmer as Enjolras in

Some of the BohmerBuddies were first "bitten by the Bohmer bug" while Ron was starring in Les Miz:

"I was always a big fan of Les Miserables and to have Ron in it as Enjolras was an extra treat.  I used to go at least once a week, and my brothers were also big fans.  My older brother knew what a fan I was of the show, and especially of Ron.  For my birthday in December of 1995 he had an idea to write Ron a letter asking him if he would be kind enough to send an autographed picture to give me as a surprise gift.  It was around the holidays and my brother thought Ron would probably be busy and would not get it on time or at all.  Others have been known not to answer, but Ron, the great guy that he is, sent my brother 2 great pictures, one of himself as Enjolras and the other one a personal portrait.  He also sent a note along to my brother with the pictures.  My brother had both pictures framed along with a Les Miz program in a large silver frame matted in black.  When he gave it to me I could not believe it, I was so happy.  At one point I took a snapshot of it and sent it to Ron to show him how it came out.  He left shortly after to play Joe Gillis in Sunset Boulevard and I never did get to speak with him.  I have not seen him in any role since and am looking forward to seeing him in The Scarlet Pimpernel on Broadway.  Needless to say, he made my birthday very special by making sure my brother received the pictures on time.  He's really great guy."
