1.) Itey got his name because he always said 'Hey' and one day he wrote it down. He didn't connect the 'H' so well, so Hey=Itey. (Try writing 'Itey' down. You'll see what I mean.)
2.) The reason Itey doesn't talk in the movie is because he's a great Italian actor and he doesn't know a word of English. He's a great dancer, so they cast him as someone without lines.
3.) Do you know how you can always hear one voice in the signing but you can never tell who it is? It's Itey! To prove this, watch 'The World Will Know'. When the camera passes each newsie, you can hear they're voice. When the camera is on Itey, all you hear is the sound of all of them - and that voice.
There will be more Itey Theroys, so check back!
