TOM RILEY NEWS

 

Meet Arcadia's Tom Riley

Broadway is never short of British imports and our favorite this year is Tom Riley, who plays the sharp-witted ladies man Septimus in the recent revival of Tom Stoppard's brilliant play Arcadia.

Arcadia on Broadway has uploaded this great new video to You Tube, of cast interviews and production footage. There is also a lovely interview with Margaret Colin, on DC Theatre Scene, in which she discusses her character's relationship with Tom's character Septimus Hodge.

Arcadia, is currently enjoying a well-received revival at the Barrymore theater. Tom Riley, the 30-year-old British actor making his Broadway debut in the production as the 19th-century poet, tutor to a genius and lothario Septimus Hodge, talked with us about sound amplification on Broadway, Tom Stoppard's way with words, working with the actor who originated your role on Broadway, and why they really need you to turn off your cell phone before the show (hint: a remote-controlled tortoise is involved).

Broadway.com have uploaded footage and interviews with the cast, from the opening night of Arcadia on 17th March. A fantastic production - see it if you can. 

The May 2011 edition of GQ magazine has a 2 page feature with Tom, including a fantastic photoshoot by James Dimmock and an interview, where he mentions Monroe and Arcadia. The magazine is on sale in the UK now.

When GQ was setting up a shoot in New York with up-and-coming British actor Tom Riley, it was decided from the off that he should wear Moschino. The label and the actor went together perfectly, both classic, yet with a twist.

There is an interview with Tom in today's Sunday Telegraph Seven Magazine, where Tom describes his perfect Sunday in New York. The interview can be accessed online via the Telegraph e-paper. 

Monroe is now available on UK iTunes, to buy as a series pass for £10.99 or £1.89 for individual episodes. 

Tom Stoppard, Billy Crudup, and Tom Riley discussed the new Broadway production of Arcadia with Leonard Lopate on his radio show, which was broadcast this afternoon on WNYC.

The interview is available to listen again online and will be available to download as a podcast from iTunes. 

Variety have posted an online article about last week's opening night for Arcadia, with several photos of the after party, including this one of Tom and a brief interview with Billy Crudup. Read the full article on the website.
