It isn’t easy to juggle a leading role on a popular sitcom and a film career, let alone a career as a film writer/director too. However, How I Met Your Mother‘s Josh Radnor has found himself wearing all three hats since directing his first film in 2010, Happythankyoumoreplease. He also
Oscar-nominated star Michelle Williams (Brokeback Mountain, Blue Valentine, My Week with Marilyn) will make her Broadway debut starring as Sally Bowles in the Roundabout Theater Company’s revival of Cabaret, which will open in early 2014. She will replace Emma Stone in the role, who was set to make her own
After seeing “Jack Nicholson retires from acting” all over the news this morning, I knew I would likely have to write a lengthy post about Nicholson for Daily Actor. How could I not? Few film actors have ever been as great as Nicholson, who is one of only three male
It’s been over a decade since Julia Stiles made her name in starring in modern updates of Shakespeare’s plays (10 Things I Hate About You, 2000’s Hamlet, O), and though she’s certainly not as visible as in the early 2000s she’s been working steadily as an actress ever since. She’s
Sandra Bullock might get the most praise from critics for her dramatic roles in films like The Blind Side, Crash, and the Venice International Film Festival hit Gravity, but it’s important to remember that among her top grossing films are comedies like The Heat, The Proposal, and Miss Congeniality.

If you’re watching a movie that stars Will Ferrell or Paul Rudd (or both), there’s a good chance Kathryn Hahn is going to make an appearance at some point. Hahn has appeared in roles (both big and small) in movies like Anchorman, Step Brothers, Wanderlust, How Do You Know, and
Like many Chicago actors, Jay Worthington is proud to be able to say “I am an actor in the city.” Unlike most of them, Worthington is legally blind. The twenty-nine year-old Worthington, who has been legally blind since birth, is a graduate from the school at Steppenwolf Theater. He is
Tom Skerritt has had a five-decade career in both film and television, but Skerritt — who just celebrated his eightieth birthday this week — is finally making his Broadway debut in A Time To Kill, an adaptation of John Grisham‘s 1989 novel (which was previously turned into a 1996 film
Through Paranoia was roasted by critics and bombed at the box office, it has at least one thing going for it: the film features both Richard Dreyfuss and Harrison Ford for the first time since 1973’s American Graffiti. In the forty years since both men have had very successful careers,
In the interests of full disclosure: I loved Drinking Buddies, the new film from Joe Swanberg (Lance did too). While I already thought it was a great film about relationships and friendships between members of the opposite sex, what really floored me was the fact that while the film had
