PLAYBILL.COM'S BRIEF ENCOUNTER With Charles S. Dutton
By Robert Simonson
08 Apr 2009
When the theatre last heard from Charles S. Dutton, he was saying goodbye to it.
It was 2003 and the television star of "Roc" was reprising on Broadway the role of trumpet player Levee in August Wilson's Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, a part he had created in 1984. He stated in his remarkable Playbill bio: "I have done the theatre some service, and they know it...No more of that!" But Dutton is, apparently, having some more of that. Starting April 24, he will be essaying the monumental role of Willy Loman in the Yale Repertory Theatre staging of Death of a Salesman, directed by James Bundy. Dutton talked to Playbill.com about his "unretirement" and what it means to fall back in love with acting.
