Episode 102 of The Mysteries of Laura aired last night (9/24) on NBC, and if you didn’t blink, you might have seen me as the blind date that Debra Messing dismisses before chasing a suspect. My one line was “You must be Laura!” to which she replied she has already found someone–and then she kissed …

A while back, I reported on filming a very brief scene with Mark Ruffalo for John Carney’s new independent feature film. The film was titled Can a Song Save Your Life? back then, and when it was shown at the Toronto Film Festival in Fall 2013, the Weinstein company fought for and won the right to distribute …

I know that our wonderful Asolo Repertory Theatre production of The Grapes of Wrath closed last Saturday night. But three of us actors have been invited to perform two scenes from our production as part of a celebration co-hosted by the Smithsonian and the National Steinbeck Center this Thursday evening in D.C. The evening pays tribute …
Well, all good things must come to an end, they say. Last night, we gave the final performance of Frank Galati’s beautiful production of Brian Friel’s Philadelphia, Here I Come! And at this afternoon’s matinee, we also say farewell to Peter Amster’s sublime production of Chris Durang’s uniquely wonderful Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike. My thanks …
