Heading into the 81st Golden Globe Awards, legendary performer Harrison Ford is eligible for two different small screen prizes – Best TV Drama Actor and Best TV Supporting Actor – thanks to his respective turns on the inaugural seasons of “1923” and “Shrinking.” These possible dual bids would come 22 years after he was named the 48th recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille career achievement award and make him a proper Golden Globe competitor for the first time since 1996. Given the fact that 33 other DeMille awardees will have preceded him in subsequently landing regular nominations, it only makes sense to analyze those instances to determine just how great his chances of victory at the 2024 ceremony really are.

Until “1923” premiered on Paramount Plus last December, the 81-year-old Ford had never appeared in a regular capacity on a TV program of any kind. Within six weeks, however, he was officially a multi-series star showcasing...

We still have a few months to go until Season 7, but a number of Grey's Anatomy stars, past and present, can be found on the stage and on the big screen this summer.

Katherine Heigl is busy with her adopted daughter and the big screen, starring in Killers with Ashton Kutcher. Katherine will also be filming One For The Money next month.

Meanwhile, her best friend T.R. Knight is invading Broadway.

T.R., whose Grey's Anatomy character perished in the Season 5 finale, starred in a production of Parade last year, and now will be in David Mamet's A Life in the Theatre.

He will appear opposite Patrick Stewart in the production that will begin previews in September at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre. The official opening will be in October.

If best friend Katherine Heigl is busy with babies and the big screen, Tr Knight, the actor who played the late and often-missed George O'Malley on Grey's Anatomy, is invading Broadway. After starring in a production of Parade last year, the 37-year-old is making a u-turn and will appear in the Broadway debut of David Mamet's A Life in the Theatre.

Knight, whose George died disfigured and trying to save someone in 2009, will appear opposite Patrick Stewart in the production that will begin previews in September at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre. The official opening will be sometime in October.

Former Grey's Anatomy star T.R. Knight is returning to Broadway - he will join Sir Patrick Stewart in a revival of David Mamet play A Life In The Theater.

Knight was set to hit the New York stage earlier this year in a production of Lend Me A Tenor, but he reportedly dropped out of the musical days before the official casting announcement in December and was replaced by The Hangover star Justin Bartha.

But the actor has now signed up to star opposite Stewart in A Life In The Theater, which is expected to begin previews in August before its official opening in September.

The opening marks the first time the play, about the relationship between a budding actor (Knight) and his mentor (Stewart), has appeared on Broadway.

Knight has previously starred in Broadway productions of Noises Off in 2001, and Tartuffe in 2003.

HollywoodNews.com: We haven’t heard much from T.R. Knight since he dropped out of the Broadway revival of Lend Me a Tenor late last year prior to the announcement of dates for the show.

He had completed a successful run in the musical Parade at the Mark Taper Forum in the fall but kept a low profile since.

Now we’ve found out what is next for the former Emmy-nominated star of Grey’s Anatomy: T.R. is set to return to the New York stage in the Broadway premiere of David Mamet’s play A Life in the Theatre.

T.R. will play the role of John and star opposite Patrick Stewart.

British actor Sir Patrick Stewart is returning to Broadway - he's to star in award-winning playwright David Mamet's next New York stage production this autumn.

The X-Men star will begin rehearsing for his role in the revival of A Life In The Theatre on 23 August, according to producer Jeffrey Richards.

A Life In the Theatre, about the relationship between an older performer and a younger actor, was first seen in Chicago, Illinois in 1977 and was later performed off-Broadway.

Neil Pepe, who took charge of the 2008 Broadway revival of Mamet's Speed-the-Plow, will direct. Stewart's younger co-star has yet to be cast.

The veteran star was last seen on Broadway in 2008, playing the title character in Macbeth.

Acclaimed Tony Award nominated actor Sir Patrick Stewart will return to Broadway in David Mamet's 'A Life in the Theatre'. Stewart will portray the lead character of 'Robert', a role he previously played in the 2005 production at London's Apollo Theatre. 'A Life in the Theatre' will be directed by Neil Pepe. Additional cast will be announced at a later date.

Recently, casting director Amanda Mackey told Back Stage that the key to casting the leads in "The Men Who Stare at Goats" was finding actors who could age believably, since the film spans several decades. Of course, such opportunities are few and far between; mostly you'll be cast close to your own age.But there is much to be learned from playing characters older than yourself when the chance arises. Also, once you are in fact older, there's much to value in your newfound understanding of how to play certain roles. To hear older actors' perspectives on aging and how it affects their craft, I made a few calls. This column will talk about how men face the issue.
