since daniel davis is out of la cage what else could he be in?

well i figured the weisslers would get along famously with him...

Yeah, no more parts for Mr. Davis for a while. How can he be such a diva. He played the BUTLER in THE NANNY for God's sake. Come on. Oohhhh, what about Fran Drescher in the Sweet Charity revival?

It's just incredible to me that a 40+ year career in the theatre is completely wiped out because he happened to have gotten cast in a hit comedy on TV. He used to say that a stage actor's dream is to be cast in lots and lots of failed television pilots. That way you get the $$ to live on but you're still free to act on stage. The same actor's greatest fear is to be cast in a hit show because you're contractually liable to stay with that show as long as the producers want you there. And in the meantime, your stage career suffers. Now I can see clearly what he meant by that. By the way, that stage career wasn't filled with 'firings' over those years. There's a problem now, obviously. We can only hope for the best for him. I hope it doesn't hurt his future on the stage because he really is a truly wonderful actor.

Am I the only one who isn't completely clear on what exactly happened and WHY he was fired?

rumer has it she was the reason sandy and diaz were let go for upstaging her

Earlier this week Playbill.com announced that Daniel Davis had been added to the list of performers for "Broadway Unplugged" on 4/4. I don't suppose that will still happen - do you?

---

Any one may show . Forbidden Broadway should have a field day with this

Seriously, I hope he resolves whatever his problems are & another producer gives him another chance & he does not blow it as he needs to be on stage again. He was indeed one of the best things about La Cage

Obviously he has issues he needs to deal with . I hope he does and then comes back to the stage with a healthier outlook and attitude. He truly is a wonderful actor. I've seen him do several shows at the Williamstown Festival, including an amazing "Three Sisters". I would hate it if this incident ruined Davis's incredible career in the theatre.

With the exception of les Cagelles , he gave the best performance in La Cage. Gary Beach is a good actor, but he was miscast as Albin. Then of course just the thought of Has Been Goulet makes me wince. What were the producers thinking?

This is in response to his sitcom career allegedly masking his Broadway credibility. Truth be told, he's best known for The Nanny. Nothing wrong with that. But no Broadway actor has a career long enough to entitle him (or her) to act the way Davis allegedly has. I think that's the main point. I think he was great, but this whole fiasco doesn't surprise me considering "rumors" I've heard about him.

Once again, Daniel Davis has been an evil ****for over 20 years. I've been witness to his antics and I can only hope that I won't have to see him torture another cast and crew. He may be okay on stage, but I don't think his minimal talent justifies his actions at all.

Mean people suck
