Avery Brooks to Star in New Play, Scott Bakula Talks About His New TV Series

Features

By GustavoLeao / 15:35, 3 December 2009 / People

According to TheaterMania, Star Trek Deep Space Nine star Avery Brooks (Captain Sisko) will star in CENTERSTAGE's production of Kwame Kwei-Armah's Let There Be Love, to run February 10-March 7. Jeremy B. Cohen will direct.

More info can be found at http://www.centerstage.org/.

Plus, Star Trek Enterprise star Scott Bakula (Captain Archer) talks about his new TV Series Men of a Certain Age to The Telefile Blog and here is an excerpt.

TWoP: What do you think will get people to tune into your show?


Scott Bakula:
Well, I think that there's really nothing like it on television, three men our age talking about life without a franchise, without it being cops or doctors. We're not talking over a body on a table; we're at a diner talking about what's going to happen with somebody's dad or their mortgage or their kids or with Ray, talking about the size of his nose. I mean it's a great slice of life, and again, it's from this male perspective. So I'm hoping that people are going to find that interesting and intriguing. And then, when they get there, they're going to find a show that's very funny and also very, very moving.


What first attracted you to the project?


Bakula:
Well, I thought the script was great when I got it and I loved this idea of how they had written these three men and their kind of history. And the humor of it I thought was fantastic and different and surprising. And then I just loved this character of Terry. I just thought he was so not like me and so kind of irreverent and happy-go-lucky and Peter Pan and one of the Lost Boys at the same time. I just thought he would be so much fun to play.

"...talking about what's going to happen with somebody's dad or their mortgage or their kids or with Ray, talking about the size of his nose."

I'd be curious to check-out any series with Bakula as a regular, but the way he describes the show sounds really boring. Why would I watch a show about men fretting over mortgages, kids, and noses. Maybe my lack of interest is just that I don't have a mortgage, kids, or a shameful nose.
