Jasper Jacks

Jasper "Jax" Jacks is a fictional character from the ABC Daytime soap opera General Hospital. He has been portrayed off-and-on by actor Ingo Rademacher since 1996. The role was temporarily portrayed by Gideon Emery during Rademacher's absence in January 2008.

Casting and character creation

The role of Jasper "Jax" Jacks was originated by German born, Australian native actor Ingo Rademacher who debuted in the role in January 31, 1996. In April 2000, Rademacher announced his decision to not sign a new contract with the series, and would vacate the role of Jasper. On his departure, Rademacher said in a statement, "I haven't really built up my resumé. I think [daytime] was a good move. And especially being on General Hospital, the best daytime show, I think. But there are other things I'd like to do." Following his departure, the actor signed onto the NBC primetime series, Titans. In April 2001, it was rumored that Rademacher would make his way back to General Hospital, despite being interested in the role of "Colin" on the NBC Daytime soap opera Days of Our Lives, a potential love interest of the character Jennifer Horton (Melissa Reeves). That month, further speculation led to many to believe that Rademacher would return to his daytime home following the cancellation of Titans and his rumored deal with Days of our Lives failing to provide any truth. It was later confirmed that Rademacher was to return to the series in June 2001. He returned on-screen July 30, 2001.

Jax (Mortal Kombat)

Jax is a fictional character from the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. Since his playable debut in Mortal Kombat II as the physically-imposing United States Special Forces superior of Sonya Blade, he has become a mainstay in the series canon, appearing in nearly every subsequent series installment, in addition to being the protagonist of the action-adventure spinoff title Mortal Kombat: Special Forces, and was one of the eleven characters representing the series in the crossover game Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. His most distinctive features in the game are his metal bionic arms, which first appeared in Mortal Kombat 3.

Jax has featured prominently in alternate Mortal Kombat media such as the two feature films, comic books, the 1996 animated series Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm, the Mortal Kombat: Legacy web series, and official series merchandise. General and critical reception to the character has been mostly positive, but reactions to his Fatality finishing moves and other aspects of the character have ranged from negative to mixed.

"Who Needs To Dream" is a previously released song which was included on the soundtrack to the television version of Copacabana which starred Barry Manilow. And "This Can’t Be Real" is duet with Olivia Newton-John.

The second half of the album features songs from the musical Harmony based on true story about German chorus group Comedian Harmonists. The musical was expected to debut on Broadway but encountered numerous problems. A preview of the show was expected to show in Philadelphia. However, only weeks before the opening, the producer failed to come up with the funding for the show and it was cancelled. Then the producer tried to claim the rights to the musical and the matter entered arbitration. Manilow ended up winning back the rights to his play. The song "This Is Our Time", as mentioned in the liner notes, was cut from the musical.
