John Mahoney
From Prelude To A Kiss.
John Mahoney talks about returning to Broadway after a 20-year hiatus in the Roundabout Theatre production of Prelude to a Kiss, including why he had to be conscious of not making his stage role of The Old Man reminiscent of his long-running TV role as Frasier’s father; recounts the story of his emigration to America from Manchester, England and how, at age 37, he suddenly decided to take up acting; recalls his early stage work with the St. Nicholas Theatre and being invited by John Malkovich to join the now-celebrated Steppenwolf Theatre ensemble; explains why he declined to travel to New York with Steppenwolf’s productions of And a Nightingale Sang and Balm in Gilead; and remembers his breakthrough performances in Orphans and The House of Blue Leaves, the latter his first major show outside of his Chicago theatre family.
