Matt Modine Fills the House By Carolyn Freer MSNBC updated 2:06 p.m. PT, Mon., March. 16, 2009 Who says the economy is bad? OK, just about everyone, but the recession resides outside the theater walls of Hartford Stage. Inside their latest production, "To Kill A Mockingbird," starring veteran actor Matthew Modine, is playing to standing room-only crowds and is the theater's best- selling production ever. It could be the attraction of Modine or the fact that it's a brilliant adaptation of one of the most beloved American novels of all time. Either way, it's good news for the theater world. Modine plays Atticus Finch, famously portrayed by Gregory Peck in the 1962 film version, an Alabama lawyer who defends a black man accused of raping a white woman in the segregated south of 1933. "Modine as Atticus is physically commanding without being domineering ... He's deliberate in both word and action, and finds moments of humor," the Hartford Advocate said. In "Mockingbird," Modine supports the central character, Scout, Finch's 8-year-old daughter, played by Olivia Scott. In his decades-long film career, Modine has played many the supporting character, most famously as Pvt. Joker in Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket." In fact, Modine admits he turned down the leading role of "Maverick" in the 1986 blockbuster "Top Gun." Tom Cruise was later cast in that role. It ended up being the one that launched his career. However, the folks at Hartford Stage would argue that this current gig is working for Modine just fine. Since the show debuted in late February, it's been extended twice. It's now running through April 12 with a full week of extra performances. .

Peri Gilpin and French Stewart Join Matthew Modine to Save the Alpacas
PERI GILPIN AND FRENCH STEWART JOIN MATTHEW MODINE TO SAVE THE ALPACAS John Rando’s Cast Also Includes Reggie De Leon, Mark Espinoza and Mark Fite Opening Night Wed, Sept 16 LOS ANGELES, August 5, 2009 — With Matthew Modine playing a role he is unequivocally perfect for (a fictionalized version of himself), one can imagine the casting challenge for the rest of the characters in the Geffen Playhouse’s upcoming production of Matthew Modine Saves the Alpacas. But – barring having identical names to the characters they play – the Geffen Playhouse’s cast includes a troupe of comedians befitting their satirical roles. Peri Gilpin, best known for her stint as Roz on NBC’s Frasier, takes on the role of Whimberly North – Matthew’s piquant publicist; and French Stewart, best known as Harry Solomon on Third Rock from the Sun, plays dual roles as Whimberly’s ubiquitous assistant Jeffrey, as well as the bungling United Nations Ambassador Perrier du Pierre Jouet. Other cast members include Reggie De Leon, Mark Damon Espinoza and Mark Fite playing a range of roles from a Chimborrazzi tribesman to Matthew Modine’s Conscience; one actor still remains to be cast and will be announced shortly. “To have Matthew Modine, one of the greatest (and dare I say, underappreciated) actors of our generation, surrounded by comic geniuses like Peri Gilpin and French Stewart, is the most phenomenal gift a playwright could ever receive,” said playwright Blair Singer. “I do not deserve a cast this exceptional; that said, I’m not giving them back.” Written by Blair Singer and directed by John Rando, this rollicking comedy tells the plight of Matthew Modine – a celebrity desperately in need of getting back in the limelight.
