I am still laughing out loud over Mamet's comment. Obviously he is convinced that this is another example of the Terence Howard school of "I don't want to work this hard." I am sorry if Piven is ill, but this seems like such a lame excuse. I will apologize if he is hospitalized for chellation.

I remember reading that they're good friends. But yeah, his comment made me laugh.

Gotta love Mamet! (He's also responsible for my current signature line. )

So right, wonkit. SO SO SO lame! Such a laughable excuse.

From an article today on Broadway.com, listing the Top 10 Broadway "hams".

9. Raúl Esparza of Speed-the-Plow
Need a laugh with an edge? Enter the chain-smoking, expletive-spewing maniac that is Speed-the-Plow’s Charlie Fox. No, the Mamet satire is not your typical comedy, nor are its characters drawn with the same strokes as the others on this list, a fact that only makes Raúl Esparza’s relentlessly funny performance all the more engrossing. When his Fox calls a cherished friend a “whore” or mimes fornicating with a desk, even the stiffest audience members will find themselves embracing the political incorrectness of it all. Rude is in again! When he flips the switch a scene later and become a destroyed victim of self-interest, it is a testament to Esparza’s stage prowess.

Welcome HollyDiver. 60 pages is better than when I tried to track down the prior 3 threads, in spite of the BWW deletions. Ohhhh, it was frustrating.
