The Actors

EN has expressed an interest in this project in two September 2000 interviews. This project recently got back on track but I don't know if he is still interested in working on this film. It was written and will be directed by Irish playwright Conor McPherson (The Weir) to be shot in Ireland in the spring of 2002. From an Irish Times interview (9/16/00)-

"I'd love to do it, but there's all that usual stuff about getting the studio to do it the right way...It's tentatively called The Actor and it's a wonderful kind of a farce, almost like Tootsie, about a young, not very good actor, who works as a dresser for an older, famous hasbeen actor in his regional company, touring Shakespeare. He's playing sword-carrier number two roles and trying to decide if he's cut out for a life in the theatre. It involves him being able to play all these different characters brilliantly in real life, but he's never able to translate it into his work on the stage."
