Theater director hits the tube

Share

Center Theatre Group artistic director/producer Gordon Davidson will appear on NBC’s “Will & Grace” Thursday.

He plays a theater director who admonishes James Earl Jones about his performance and singles out a fellow cast member, played by Jack (Sean Hayes), as an actor to emulate. Jones, playing himself, subsequently attends Jack’s acting class.

The role marks Davidson’s first acting appearance since he was 9 years old, when he was in “Watch on the Rhine” at Brooklyn College, where his father was a theater professor.
