My movie project tells a story about the private world of actors, a world that's funny, and bittersweet, and rich with creativity. It's a world where incredible bonds form.
I asked Ethan Sandler, a friend and talented screenwriter, to write a script that would capture all of the drama that happens to actors off camera: the heartbreaks and the joy, but most important, the friendships that keep us going through even the bleak times.
And then all these great actors fell in love with his finished script for No Pay, Nudity and signed on.
We all have long careers on Broadway, and in film and TV, like Laurie Metcalf a brilliant stage actress who you also know as Roseanne's sister Jackie, or Ted Levine, who you know from the current hit show The Bridge, the TV series Monk and in his terrifying role as Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs, and Jessica Hecht, the Broadway and TV star who had that great supporting role on Friends. You know Nathan Lane from a multitude of wonderful projects including The Birdcage and The Producers and his recent Tony nominated performance in The Nance.
Our cast also includes the talented actors Boyd Gaines, J. Smith Cameron, Austin Pendleton, Mark Blum, Jeremy Shamos, Jeanine Serrales, Zoe Perry, Joel Higgins, Reg Rogers, Peter Jacobson, Alex Draper, John Bedford Lloyd, Cory Michael Smith, Benjamin Sinclair, Danny Binstock, Ellen Foley and Brent Spiner, the comedian Lewis Black, and the incredible Loudon Wainwright III, who is creating the original music.
And there's me, director Lee Wilkof. My first big break was playing Seymour in the Off-Broadway hit Little Shop of Horrors. Please Support our Kickstarter Campaign by Oct 10th!
