    Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — Robert Morse


    heberald26 — 18 years ago(January 16, 2008 12:18 PM)

    REALLY liked him as Truman Capote in the videotaped production of his Broadway - Tony Award winning performance, one-man show called TRU, it aired sometime in the 1990's. He also won a Best Dramatic Actor Emmy for this performance.
    I wish they would release that on DVD.
    Anyone else remember it?

      Yes, I saw it twice, in two different cities.
      He was excellent and I never would have recognized him as Robert Morse had I not already known, because he was so believable as Capote.

        I saw "Tru" when it was in San Francisco. Robert Morse totally transformed himself into the character to the point where I thought I was watching Truman Capote and not an actor playing a part. It was only at the end, during the curtain call when he strips off the stage makeup that you see the smiling Robert Morse we know and love 🙂 Brilliant performance!

          I saw it on TV. Incredible.

            I knew Truman (that's how I always referred to him even after he told me to call him Truto his consternation!) and Robert nailed him PERFECTLY. Was blown away by his performance and it took me a while to realize where I'd seen the talent behind "Tru", in How To Succeed in BusinessWOW! I was flummoxed and amazed!

              He and Andrew Robinson are the best I've seen playing real people. He played a great Liberace and JFK; it was in the 1980s Twilight Zone episode, A Profile in Silver.

                I got a copy of it from truetvmovies. Just type in "Truman Capote", not "Robert Morse.
