Kevin Kline: Rhinoplasty candidate?

Hollywood names will make quite a few appearances on Broadway this fall. Following recent announcements about Claire Danes's turn in Pygmalion and Jake Gyllenhaal's mooted appearance in Farragut North comes the news that Jen Garner and Kevin Kline will star as Roxanne and her beaky swain in Cyrano de Bergerac. Kline's an old Broadway hand, of course, but it will be interesting to see how well Garner's grin and gams translate to the stage. Of Garner, Gyllenhaal and Danes, who do you imagine will acquit themselves best in the stage to screen transition? Danes has some intriguing indie theater cred, but our money's on young Jake. Which film actor would you most like to see form an orchestra seat?

Comments

At least Garner has done plays before and has some Shakepearean training. If I read one more time how Daines claims to have never seen any version of Pygmalion, I will vomit. Her bragging about how little research she has done on this character makes my skin crawl. You'd have to pay me to see Pygmalion.
