Clive Owen stopped by today's LIVE to talk about making his Broadway debut in Harold Pinter's Old Times at the Roundabout Theatre Company.
"I trained in the theater, I went to the Royal Academy and all I wanted to do was theater," says the actor. "But over the last 15 years things have opened up in film, and I've been doing that, but I thought it was time to go back. It's nice to remind myself of why I became an actor." Watch the appearance below!
Directed by Douglas Hodge, Clive Owen stars in the new production of Old Times opposite Eve Best and Kelly Reilly. The show features original music by Radiohead's Thom Yorke. Old Times began previews on September 17, 2015, and opened officially on October 6, 2015. This is a limited engagement through Sunday, November 29, 2015, on Broadway at the American Airlines Theatre (227 West 42nd Street).
In Pinter's unsettling drama of desire and blurred realities, Owen portrays Deeley, a man quite looking forward to meeting Anna (Best), his wife Kate's (Reilly) friend from long ago. But as the night goes on, Anna's visit quickly shifts from an ordinary sharing of memories to a quiet battle for power. Douglas Hodge, a frequent performer and director of Pinter's works, directs the haunting and passionate revival.
