He was awarded the 1999 Laurence Olivier Theatre Award for Best Supporting Performance of 1998 for his role in Oklahoma! He had to wear padding, a massive amount of make-up, and huge lifts in size 24 shoes to make him appear over 7 feet tall as Frankenstein's monster in "Van Helsing." Won Broadway's 2002 Tony Award as Best Actor (Featured Role - Musical) for his role as Jud Fry in a revival of "Oklahoma!" He has now played Frankenstein's monster three times. In Van Helsing (2004) on the concept album and workshop of "Frankenstein" The Musical by Mark Baron and Jeffrey Jackson, and finally in the Broadway production of "Young Frankenstein".

I imagine what another sequel to "Van Helsing" movie could have given, in order to make a trilogy. Two years after the events of Sleepy Hollow, Van Helsing and his secret friends go to Egypt, country of origin of Ahmanet, because a new threat has just awakened. Because of the mysterious Doctor Pretorius and his accomplices, the terrible Scorpion King, one of the most powerful beings in the world, has been released after millennia of imprisonment. In addition to these already known "monster buddies", Gabriel will be helped by an egyptologist, who seems linked to a part of his past, Mina Murray, who hides a dark secret. He will also be helped by the American special agent Lawrence Talbot, who is actually a powerful Werewolf using a Pretorius serum to keep his human form for a time. Finally, the mad scientist creates a "Bride" for Frankenstein's Creature, hoping to control the Modern Prometheus, but it backfires. Today, more than ever, Van Helsing knows very well that the "monsters" are the only ones who can really save this world !
