George Clooney stars in the stage adaptation of the 2005 movie “Good Night, and Good Luck.” The actor’s contribution to the project is immense. He starred in both the film and the drama and co-wrote them with Grant Heslov. The duo received an Oscar nomination in 2006 for Best Original Screenplay, and Clooney was also nominated for directing the film.
The Broadway show, just like the movie, follows the story of CBS news journalist Edward R. Murrow exposing Senator Joseph McCarthy. Clooney takes on the lead role of Murrow as opposed to his film’s character, Fred W. Friendly.
