Luke Macfarlane talks about his stage role...

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,lukejazz.jpgTheatreMania has posted an interview with Out In Hollywood fave Luke Macfarlane about his days and nights as two Scottys: F. Scott Fitzgerald in the Blank Theatre's production of Allan Knee's "The Jazz Age" and as Scotty on ABC's "Brothers & Sisters."

Here are some excerpts:

On juggling the stage with his TV job: "It can be insane doing the double-duty dance, but so far the worst that has happened is that I entered our apartment on the Brothers & Sisters set and said one of the lines in the play, 'You're late,' rather than 'You're home.' Matthew (Rhys, who plays Kevin) was a little like 'whaaaat.'"

On why the graduate of the Julliard School of Drama is doing a play right now: "After three years in L.A., I began to dream of my glory days on the boards. But it's very difficult to make a living as a theater actor in New York, which is why I moved out here, and I always had an ambition to work in television. I am a great admirer of the format, and I think it's how we tell long stories."

On fitting into a cast of heavy hitters on "Brothers & Sisters" with Sally Field, Calista Flockhart and Rachel Griffiths. "I think the first table read I ever did, my hand was vibrating the whole time. But we have a wonderful group collective. If a scene doesn't work, we're all willing to talk about it. And I think we all have this great story to tell."
