Sang the soliloquy Why Must I die? from the Garden of Gethsemane scene in Jesucristo Superstar (1973) at the March 9, 2004 memorial service for co-star Carl Anderson (Judas).

[on filming 'Jesus Christ, Superstar'] Norman Jewison had us out there long before the shooting schedule, just so we could get acclimated to the climate, so we could get the sun on our bodies. We couldn't believe, when we saw the dailies, watching our hair become streaked from the sun, going for what we were - the Americans and Canadians who all came over there looking pristine - to becoming these desert people.
