Broadway Stars in Movies

Posted: 7/3/05 at 7:51pm

It seems to be that every movie I watch lately (well, not necessarily lately), there is someone I recognize from a Broadway show...

Cherry Jones - The Village
Adam Pascal - School of Rock
Colm Feore - Chicago
Donna Murphy - Center Stage
Susan Egan - 13 Going on 30

and many, many others. What other people have you guys seen?

Oh timely thread...I just watched Le Divorce today and was amazed to find Stockard Channing, Bebe Neuwirth, and Glen Close.

Watching Hitch the other day, I was like 'I know that guy...' and it was Chip from Spelling Bee! (his real name has vacated my mind as of this second...oops)

Before he reprises his Wolverine role again, Hugh is actually filming a new Woody Allen movie in London at present - with Woody, Scarlett Johansson, and Ian McShane as co-stars.

He is on the A-list for both the movies and the stage.

Marci X: movie made in 2003

Marci, a spoiled Jewish American Princess, is forced to take control of her father's hard-core rap label, Felony Assault, when her mogul dad, Ben Feld, has a stress-induced heart attack due to the controversy surrounding the label's hip-hop song Shoot Ya' Teacha by Dr. Snatchcatcher. To rescue her father's plummeting stock, Marci attempts to tone down the rapper's bad-boy edge. Over time, the unlikely pair fall in love just as a conservative senator vows to banish the rapper and his offensive lyrics from the airwaves forever.

Opening this thread, I would think that people are surprised to see B'way stars in film, as if it were uncommon. Look up your fave star on imdb, and you'll find 99% of the time, they were in a film or two...

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

Like, EVERYONE is in Marci X. There's a thread about that movie, being that so many people were in it.

Manley Pope was also in Marci X. That movie did so bad, but I love it .. sheerly for Boyz R Us(Matthew and Manley) and Sherie. It's so great.

Yes, I do have to say, often times I am surprised to see them... but happily!

I will have to see Marci X.

And I just remembered that Idina is in Kissing Jessica Stein... she has one line... "Are you the lesbian?" Greatness...

in ocean's 12 was cherry jones and eddie izzard and in garden state were dennis o'hare and george c. wolfe and jackie hoffman... sorry, those were just two that i've watched recently.

Cherry Jones also has a significant part in Cradle Will Rock.. Interesting but flawed film. Stephen Spinella has a cameo, as does Audra McDonald's singing voice. I think there were a bunch of Broadway people in the chorus as well.

Brian O'Byrne was the priest in Million Dollar Baby. Meaning that his three most visible recent roles are 1) A pedophile (Frozen), 2) A priest (Million Dollar Baby) 3) A priest accused of being a pedophile (Doubt). I think he needs to try something really different about now.

It has been said many times but I'll say it again here that Marissa Jaret Winokur was Lester's co-worker at Mr. Smiley's in American Beauty.

Are some you forgetting Donna Murphy had a role in Spiderman 2? You've been naming all the other movies she's been in. It wasn't just a cameo either in SM2. She had a nice amount of lines, not a lot of film time, but she was good.
