Eric Bogosian Joins MTC's TIME STANDS STILL
Thursday, October 22, 2009

Lynne Meadow (Artistic Director) and Barry Grove (Executive Producer) have announced that acclaimed actor and playwright Eric Bogosian (Talk Radio, "Law & Order: CI") has joined the cast of Manhattan Theatre Club's upcoming Broadway production of Donald Margulies' TIME STANDS STILL directed by Daniel Sullivan.

TIME STANDS STILL will mark Bogosian's Broadway debut as an actor. He is best known for his work in Talk Radio which he wrote and starred in Off-Broadway. Talk Radio was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and was subsequently turned into an acclaimed film directed by Oliver Stone. His many acting credits include the long-running television series "Law & Order: CI" and Off-Broadway in Stephen Adly Guirgis' play The Last Days of Judas Iscariot directed by Philip Seymour Hoffman.

In TIME STANDS STILL, Bogosian will play ‘Richard' the photo editor of photographer ‘Sarah,' played by Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Laura Linney.

Bogosian completes the cast which, in addition to Linney, includes Tony Award nominee Brian d'Arcy James and Golden Globe nominee Alicia Silverstone.

The limited engagement of TIME STANDS STILL will begin previews at MTC's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre (261 West 47th Street) on Tuesday, January 5, 2010 in preparation for a Thursday, January 28, 2010 opening night.

Press notes describe the play as "Sarah and James, a photographer and a journalist (Laura Linney and Brian d'Arcy James), have been together for nine years and share a passion for documenting the realities of war. But when injuries force them to return home to New York, the adventurous couple confronts the prospect of a more conventional life. This timely and intelligent play marks the fourth collaboration for Pulitzer Prize winner Donald Margulies and Tony Award-winning director Daniel Sullivan."

Eric Bogosian has finished his three-year, 60-episode stint on “Law & Order: Criminal Intent.” “Now it’s time to get back to the theater,” he says...

...“The boon of doing a regular TV series is that it allows producers to cast theater people in roles they might not otherwise get. I’m a character actor,” says the 56-year old performer. “We have a strong base of them in New York, and I can think of at least six other actors who could do this role. But ‘Law & Order’ put my name before the public in a way that it hadn’t been before. So now I have this dream job.” ...
