John Goodman and Tom Sturridge Board West End-Bound AMERICAN BUFFALO

According to the Daily Mail, John Goodman and Tom Sturridge will team up with Damian Lewis in this spring's West End production of AMERICAN BUFFALO. David Mamet's play, helmed by Daniel Evans, will run at Wyndham's Theatre from April 16, with a closing date set for June 27, 2015.

Goodman told the Mail that acting onstage in London "is definitely on my bucket list. I was too frightened to say 'No'. I said 'Yes' before I could scare myself." The actor's decision also came after he was certain his knees could handle the job. "I had a second knee replacement last March, so they're good to go. I can tread as many boards as I want, as long as they'll have me."

Goodman will play junk shop owner 'Don', who joins with Teach (Lewis) and the "dim-witted but loyal" Bobby (Sturridge) in a doomed business enterprise. This will be both Goodman and Sturridge's West End debuts.

Goodman last appeared on Broadway in the 2009 revival of WAITING FOR GODOT. Before that, he graced the stage in BIG RIVER, which earned him a Drama Desk nomination. The actor's upcoming big screen projects include TRUMBO and VALENCIA. He also recently appeared in the Amazon series ALPHA HOUSE and the movies THE GAMBLER, THE MONUMENTS MEN, MONSTERS UNIVERSITY and INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS.

Tony nominee Sturridge recently appeared on Broadway in ORPHANS, as well as onstage in NO QUARTER at the Royal Court. His upcoming screen credits include FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD, opposite Carey Mulligan, and the role of 'Henry VI' in THE HOLLOW CROWN.

Mamet's play last graced London in 2000. AMERICAN BUFFALO, which follows a trio of would-be burglars with characteristic Mamet-style dialogue, opened on Broadway in 1977 and was nominated for two Tony Awards. It's seen three Broadway revivals since and was also adapted for the big screen in 1996.
