He lost the role because--we were told--Albee nixed him because he didn't like his headshot.<br /><br />I was a little puffed up at having been approved by Albee--but the director informed me that Albee doesn't bother to vet the people who play Peter.<br /><br />He also visited Portland later that season. Asked a question about Frank Langella's performance in SEASCAPE, he said he thought Langella was a very good actor "when he wasn't playing human beings."<br />--Kevin ConnellAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
