The NY Times interviewed several of the big screen stars who are taking the Broadway stage this season and getting their take on their new roles. The interview include Bradley Cooper, Glen Close, Patricia Clarkson, Jake's first "crush" Martha Plimpton, Alessandro Nivalo, and Jake's sister Maggie.
“It’s less about string theory than about love,” said Gyllenhaal of his role as a beekeeper who falls for a physicist in “Constellations,” the new play by the British playwright Nick Payne. The 33-year-old actor has performed on smaller New York stages, but this is his Broadway debut. “If you know anything about love or have experienced it in any way, you might know more about string theory than you think you do.”
Not only are Jake and Maggie on Broadway at the same time, they are also being nominated at the same time for their work. Jake for Nightcrawler and Maggie for An Honorable Woman. Congratulations to both brother and sister on their Screen Actors Guild nominations.
