Wow, what happened to more theatre? Or was the money just too tempting again? Eh, I'll probably watch it for the character...sounds like him XD

I think part of the problem is that there's no "middle ground" in the NY Theater anymore and "regional theater" is practically a dirty word here. So you're either in a basement doing some avante-garde thing for practically no money OR you're in a block-buster with BIG NAMES selling tickets for outrageous sums. Maybe there's not a blockbuster with his name on it right now and he can't really do the kind of basement thing that he might have his heart set on, because there's Gaby and the Bambino to take care of.

Just a theory actually.

I'm actually more excited about Gloria Reuben. She's been excellent in everything I've seen.

One of the nice things about the proliferation of networks is the opportunity for actors and actresses who might not have gotten onto the "big three" to get interesting work on shows like this.

Good for him! *applauds*

It'll be nice to see what he can do with a different kind of character and maybe some writers who don't feel the need to derail their own strengths.
