On the other hand, "Tom beats a bunch of people up in this play." is also a selling point...

He gets to whack someone with a report the size of a phone book, does that count?

Aw, man.

Everyone wants to see me beaten up. Sniff.

Re: Aw, man.

[dpolicar]

Sorry. But, um... yeah.
To be fair, other, um, dramatic activities would also be a selling point. Some of them probably more fun to participate in.

Ah, you must be the target audience for our hypothetical summer Occasional Players show, then... I will have to remember this publicity strategy. :)

It's not just Tom -- you could replace him with just about any of my male friends and it would still be a selling point. (Oops, I'm being sexist again!)

Clearly, you should organize Twinkies Pro Wrestling shows.

*ponders* Yeah, I'd buy tix to that.

"Tom gets beaten up in this play" is a subset of "Tom is in this play", which is a selling point. :)
