Blackbird's a very ambitious choice, but he's more than capable. his character is so much different than Grissom and it's seems like he chose this play on purpose to get away from the Bugman. it will certainly stretch those acting muscles that he hasn't been using for almost 10 years but i feel like Dublin Carol will help him transform before he gets to Blackbird.

i wish him luck! :)
 
I was really excited when i saw Dublin lol. Sadly its not in Europe... You think he'll ever do a stage play in England? London - the west end. I'd love to see him on the stage.
 
^ that would be so great. he goes on vacation to Italy quite often where he has family and he lived a year in Spain in his early days so i wouldn't be surprised if he decided to perform in Europe. and since GB is the only place with English, it would be an obvious choice. nevertheless, it would have to be a really captivating play for him to make such a decision. and i guess it won't happen sooner than 2010. we can only hope ;)
