Intoxicated, charged with sexual abuse early this morning. Wonder how this will affect The Glass Menagerie.

I doubt it will. Reading that report, he should be able to perform tonight.

Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

What was the woman doing wrong? I hate it when men are blamed for the stupidity of women.

Yes buncha, he is. He's only saying it to get reactions like yours, so please ignore him.

And how long does Menagerie have left anyway? It's a limited run through mid July I thought. Surely he could make it to the end of the run?

It does run through mid-July and has something is moving in right after it (I can't remember what)
Would they close a show with less than a month and a half left to go?

No, although the box office for it has hardly been stellar. But this is misdemeanour and there is nothing to stop him performing.

And I hate it when stupid men blame their stupid actions on women. We do have the right not to get groped or grabbed, much as some men would hate to hear that.

Maybe if he wasn't doing shots out of girls cleavage every night @ Brother Jimmies and Clarkes on the UES then this wouldn' have happened. METHOD Actors! :)

He may be talented but he is also pure scum.

I've had limited interaction with him (we jokingly told him his last movie was really bad and he gaves us our $10 which was hysterical when we declined but he insisted since he "makes too much anyway and it's you people that pay me). Friends that have worked with him all say he's a nice guy.
Just has some personal issues.

Didn't he file assault charges against his now ex-wife a few years ago?

I thought they were still married, just separated. But yes, she threw something at him and he had to get stitches.

When I met him after a performance, he was not wearing his wedding band. They are in the process of a divorce, I believe.

The show closes on July 17th, 2005. I think he'll make it till the end. Only six weeks left.

"The show closes on July 17th, 2005. I think he'll make it till the end. Only six weeks left."

It could even close earlier, given the chilly reception it received, coupled with weak box office totals. It is far from perfect, but it is better than most have said.
