What's Up, Anthony Mackie? The Behanding and Hurt Locker Star Handicaps the Oscars and Counts "F" Words
March 2, 2010
Three nights after his March 4 Broadway opening in Martin McDonagh's black comedy A Behanding in Spokane, Anthony Mackie will be walking the red carpet at the Academy Awards for his starring role as Sgt. J.T. Sanborn, the calm center in a Baghdad bomb squad, in Best Picture nominee The Hurt Locker. Chatting with Broadway.com during previews, Mackie was understandably giddy as he talked Oscar and the fun of trading barbs with Christopher Walken, Sam Rockwell and Zoe Kazan.
Playbill.com's brief encounter with Zoe Kazan
February 24, 2010
For a 26-year-old actress, A Behanding in Spokane star Zoe Kazan has originated an impressive number of roles in new plays. She first came to attention in the Off-Broadway play 100 Saints You Should Know by Kate Fodor and Things We Want by Jonathan Marc Sherman. Broadway roles in established plays like Come Back, Little Sheba and The Seagull followed. Now, she arguably has the most important stage role of her career, creating a character in a Martin McDonagh world premiere.

Can you walk the Walken?

Everyone and their mom thinks they've got the best Christopher Walken impression. But trust us, it's tougher than Jay Mohr makes it look.
If you think you can best Mohr (and his mom, for that matter), you could win a pair of tickets to see Walken himself starring in Broadway's A BEHANDING IN SPOKANE.
So slick back your hair, master the art of the pregnant pause, and show us your best Walken!
