A charmed life is what South African native Heinz Winckler is living.

A former law student with a passion for music, Winckler traded in his law books for sheet music when in 2002 he became the first South African "Idol." From there the pop singer-guitarist released three albums — "One Step Closer," "Come Alive" and "Moment of Truth" — before his career started to sputter last year.

While a 2005 stateside audition for musicals "Hairspray" and "Rent" didn't yield any work, Winckler did receive a surprise call last year. Producers wanted to know if he was interesting in playing the role of Roger in a national touring company of "Rent."
