Just before he died, Philip Seymour Hoffman's friend, Tony-award winning actor Brian Dennehy, tried to rescue him from his demons. Recalling the conversation on John Fugelsang's SiriusXM radio show Tell Me Everything, Dennehy remembers he began by telling Hoffman, "I like what I've done, I've enjoyed what I've done, and I'd like the chance to do it some more." He then urged the troubled star to, "See if you can find a way to enjoy it yourself," reminding him that, "This is good stuff that we do [as actors]."

Actor is reportedly on board to play the struggling salesman Shelley Levene in David Mamet's Pulitzer prize-winning play
With Broadway productions, as with real estate sales, it's all about your leads, and, in theatre terms at least, they don't come much bigger than Al Pacino, who is reportedly set to star in David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross for the second time in his career.
According to the New York Times, the actor is on board to play the struggling salesman Shelley Levene in Mamet's 1982 play, which was first seen at the National Theatre before winning a Pulitzer prize the following year. Levene, a former company star, has fallen on hard times and struggles to make a sale, a fact he blames on the poor tip-offs he's being provided.
In James Foley's 1992 film, Pacino played the company's hot-streak salesman Ricky Roma alongside Jack Lemon as Levene and support...

Irish American acting legend Brian Dennehy, 72, will be awarded the Eugene O'Neill Lifetime Achievement Award for 2010 by the Irish American Writers and Artists group at a ceremony in Rosie O'Grady's in Times Square on October 18, just two blocks from where O'Neill was born. Dennehy, who has been nominated six times for Emmys, won a Golden Globe in 2000 for his performance in "Death of a Salesman," and earned a Tony Award in 2003 for his performance in Eugene O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey into Night." "Getting this award is nice," Dennehy told the press this week. "But double-edged. Nice to be recognized for your work, but they always give you these things when you're too old to do any more damage." Dennehy attended Columbia University, where he discovered his love for the theater, but he soon returned to Brooklyn to drive a meat truck out of the Fort Greene Meat Market. The...
