Death of a Salesman John is returning to Broadway with the revival of Arthur Miller's famous Death of a Salesman, starring Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Andrew Garfield. John will play the part of Ben. The play will begin previews on February 13 at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre, with opening night on March 15. November 10, 2011 New photos, general updates Several pages on the site have been updated, including the index of John's stage performances and the image gallery - which includes a great photo now from "Annie Hall". A new page has been created for The Atmosphere of Memory, indexing reviews and articles about the show, as well as collecting photographs from the production. These include two great new photos just received from John, as "Murray":
November 1, 2011 The Atmosphere of Memory The Atmosphere of Memory had its opening night on October 30, with a selection of great reviews for John. The New York Times says: "Mr. Glover’s role as the self-styled deus ex machina, Murray, who is more like Lucifer ex machina, is undeniably meaty in its exuberant nastiness... Ms. Burstyn and in particular Mr. Glover are naturally arresting stage presences..." Variety comments: "Preening himself in garish outfits supplied by clever costumer Emily Rebholz, Glover gleefully revels in the boorish behavior of this rude trickster." The Associated Press: "Ellen Burstyn and John Glover... bring a wealth of credibility to the roles of Jon's mother and father... Tony-winner John Glover ("Love! Valour! Compassion!") [is] deliciously evil in the role John's villainous father, whose vulgarity is surpassed only by his cruelty." Theatermania: "[T]he extraordinary performances of Ellen Burstyn and John Glover make the play a worthwhile theatrical experience... the superlative work of Burstyn and Glover will linger in one's memory." The Philadelphia Inquirer: "John Glover (Tony and Obie winner) as Jon’s father, struts and swaggers with exasperating sexy/slimy charm." And New Jersey Newsroom: "Perfectly cast as the scruffy reprobate of a dad, a jaunty John Glover lounges around being wonderfully scornful of the entire proceedings." We have an additional production still from the play, courtesy the New York Times:
And several photos from opening night featuring John and his co-stars, including Ellen Burstyn and Max Casella, from Playbill, Theatermania, and Broadway World:

September 2, 2011 Sweet Talk John is currently filming the indie romantic drama Sweet Talk, directed by Teri Hanauer and also starring Natalie Zea (Justified) and Jeffrey Vincent Parise (CSI: NY). The film "follows a blocked writer and a troubled young woman, both at loose ends, who meet over a phone-sex line and go on a journey that turns out to be more erotic and evocative than just sex talk". July 8, 2011 Jim Butcher's Ghost Story John will be reading the audiobook of Ghost Story, the next installment in Jim Butcher's exciting Dresden Files novels. The series was previously read by John's Smallville co-star James Marsters, who unfortunately had to bow out on this occasion due to personal reasons. The audiobook is out on August 4 from all the usual retailers.
