When actors claim that doing Shakespeare is hard, they probably weren’t referring to the likelihood of getting injured on stage. But James McAvoy was recently so roughed up during performances on Macbeth at London’s Trafalgar Studios Theater that he had to turn to physiotherapy sessions to get healed.
After facing a brutal season on American Horror Story: Asylum as tortured victim, Lana Winters, it makes sense that Sarah Paulson was ready for something a little different. Now, she’s starring on Broadway in Lanford Wilson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Talley’s Folly. However, Paulson wasn’t initially sold on the idea of returning to the stage.
Matthew Goode admits that playing a villain is somewhat different than portraying an everyday hero. In order to successfully draw the audience in on Park Chan-wook’s Stoker, Goode had to work at downplaying his character. But at the end of the day, he ended up relying on rehearsal and then just jumping in headfirst.
Bradley Cooper might be one of the only actors who actually insists he doesn’t want to win an Oscar (or at least that’s what he says.)
It’s time to pay the piper and Mark Bradley is here to help out!
Matthew Rhys has a lot to tackle (literally) as covert KGB agent Philip Jennings on FX’s new hit drama, The Americans. However, despite being a little worried about taking on the part, Rhys is winning rave reviews for his portrayal.
Max Greenfield, who plays king of the slimeballs Schmidt on FOX’s New Girl, is not at all worried about typecasting.
Yeah, there’s nothing really new in the film but that doesn’t mean it’s not hilarious.
Steve Buscemi is one of my favorite actors, mostly because he’s so versatile. He can be cold and calculating, like in Fargo or as Nucky Thompson in HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, and he can be quirky, like in Ghost World or The Big Lebowski.
Idina Menzel is returning to Broadway for the first time since winning the Tony Award for Wicked! She’s starring in If/Then, an original Broadway musical which reunites Tom Kitt (music), Brian Yorkey (book and lyrics), and Michael Greif (director), the creative team behind the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical, Next to Normal.
