John Benjamin Hickey juggles stage role, television

 Despite these récessionnistes time, John Benjamin Hickey succeeded to the excellent work of land not only one but two.

The actor was released on Broadway as a journalist affected by AIDS in a well-fact revival, praised "The Normal Heart of Larry Kramer" and brother troubled of game Laura Linney on "the big" c. Showtime

The only snag: it has to do at the same time.

One is Theatre eight times per week in Times Square, while the television program requires that he spends three or four days a week, the filming of 25 miles northeast of the city to Stamford, Connecticut, for the second season of the acclaimed series. He laughs at his luck, what he calls a "spoilt for choice."

"It could be a confluence more madness of events," he said during lunch in a café in Greenwich Village near his home in one of its few empty afternoon. "The time couldn't have been better and it could not be worse."

He has juggled with the two with some success. Hickey, in his fifth Broadway show, won his first Tony Award nomination as best actor in a play feature. Next month, he competes against Mackenzie Crook of "Jerusalem", Billy Crudup in "Arcadia," Arian Moayed of "Tiger of Bengal at Baghdad Zoo's" and Yul Vazquez in "The Motherfuckers - with the hat."

His two jobs have transformed the Hickey casual in someone who remembers railway schedules and calculates the traffic patterns. It was also found among the sprint through Times Square crowd to make it to the theatre in time.

Once, he almost missed a performance. To make the evening curtain at 8 p.m., he likes to take a train in Connecticut do more later 6: 15 pm. One night recently, he was obliged to take a still closer to 6: 30 pm. Then it was 15 minutes late - and he still had a 45 minute drive.

How this man - who described as "hothouse flowers" with a sensitive stomach and a "boy Presbyterian soft of Plano, Texas" - manage a nerve path - its?

"The only thing I did was I got my script of"the Normal heart"and just started to read." I could hardly concentrate on it, but simply by looking at the words helped me to go to the place, that I needed to be metaphorically and train me y literally.

The train of Metro-North Railroad fired in Grand Central Terminal at 7 h 38, leaving only 22 minutes to pass on the side is the town in Times Square. Avoid the crowded streets, he jumped on the subway. Then he ran.

"I have five minutes the curtain," he said with a smile. "It adds a certain amount of drama."

Hickey, who turns 48 next month, credits all sorts of people - the Director of its lining in the Teamsters Union which give him a ride in Stamford - for the ability to both projects. "It has been many people lean backward to help make the impossible possible.". I have so many people to thank. ?

The appointment of Tony helped, too. Performers, crew members and the producers of "the big C" trying to accommodate schedule of fanciful Hickey even more now that they have a better idea of what it was up to in New York.

"It was a bit like having a beautiful wife and a beautiful mistress," he said. "" "". Your wife does not want to hear a word about how hot is your mistress and vice versa. I felt like I was leading to this double life. ?
