Bermuda?

Yes, The Tempest, will be part of this years Bermuda Theatre Festival, and I will be part of it. With only four performances, the show is already sold out, but there is plenty else to do there this season. Click on the link above to check it out.

I will be playing Antonio, Prospero's charming but evil brother. What fun. Fellow Romeo and Juliet actor Tom Beckett will be playing Trinculo.

Talk about your Shakespeare...This has been a year filled with it for me.

My previous trip to the shipwrecked isle came under the direction of George C. Wolfe and starred Patrick Stewart. This production is directed by Joel Froomkin, and marks the 400th anniversary of Bermuda. The Tempest, was reputedly inspired by tales of the wreck of the Sea Venture.

Law and Order has been berry good to me

Just before Thanksgiving I booked two Law and Orders. When working out in the regions it's always funny to hear audience members as they acknowledge NY actors as those who've done a Law and Order.

On January 21st I will play Judge Wallace Clark. This is the first ORDER side of the table for me. I have found a body on Criminal Intent, been a creepy-nosey neighbor on Law and Order, and a non-creepy Pastor. Now I'm in a robe and snarky.

I've had the opportunity to work with Jesse Martin, Jerry Orbach, Vince D'Onofrio, Kathryn Erbe, Milena Govich, and in this episode the detectives are Anthony Anderson, and Jeremy Sisto.

Later in January I will be playing Peter Wellsley, a governor of a Carribean Island, on Jeff Goldblum's first season of Criminal Intent. My step daughter is a celebutante and my ex-model wife and I are questioned after her mysterious murder.

Law and Order Criminal Intent with Jeff Goldblum airs on the USA-network.

Check back for this air date.

2002 Was a Very Good Year

Yellowman and Topdog Underdog were both done in 2002. Thank goodness.

This past spring I got to play Eugene in Yellowman and now I will be playing Lincoln in Topdog/Underdog, the role originated by Jeffrey Wright.

Sibling rivalry, power struggles and 3 Card monte all at once. Two brothers, Lincoln and Booth in a one room flat.

In 1995 I was in the production of The America Play at Yale Rep and The Public Theatre and I played Man...that's it... just Man, but what I got to play was different variations of Booth, as the Foundling Father sat in an arcade theatre seat, dressed as Honest Abe (Lincoln), waiting to be shot. Lincoln's job in Topdog/Underdog is still the same.

It was the first play that I got to have my name in the Dramatists Play Service printing of a play. Very Cool.

With Topdog Underdog Suzan Lori Parks won the Pulitzer Prize for Playwrighting.

I will be doing the production slated for the Spring at Playmakers Rep. I had the opportunity to work there a few years ago in a production of Master Harold and the Boys.

Strangerhorse

I am very excited to be returning to The Kitchen Theatre. This season it's a world premiere of a play by Brian Dykstra, entitled Stangerhorse.

The show opens on October 18th and runs through November 11th.

Family and Friends who attended Yellowman last season know that the theatre seats 73 people a night, and shows sell out quickly. This year The Kitchen has had a huge boost in their preseason subscription base, and Strangerhorse is the most highly anticipated. It also achieved the highest volume of requests in the Main Stage Four Pack subscription series. This way of subscribing...each subscriber got to choose four of the mainstage shows to compile their own series.

I say all this to let you know that you will want to get tickets now!

Hope to see you in Ithaca, and at the KITCHEN.
