Some actors shrug off a label like “character actor” as something that somewhat minimizes their contribution to a production. However, veteran actor John C. McGinley is not one of those actors.
There are a handful of actors who scare the crap at me, and at the top of the list is Bobby Cannavale. It’s not just because he’s a tough looking guy, but he happens to be a phenomenal Broadway actor in addition to his television credits.
It’s been almost three decades since John C. McGinley last appeared on a Broadway stage, and he certainly didn’t choose to return under the radar. McGinley is starring in David Mamet’s Glengarry Glen Ross as Dave Moss alongside Al Pacino and Bobby Cannavale.
