Scott Bakula’s Lincoln


Listen Later

In this new edition of Great Moments with Mr. Bakula, the former captain of the Enterprise and famous Quantum Leap-er discusses playing America's 16th president in Mister Lincoln, Herbert Mitgang's one-man show now onstage at the storied Ford's Theatre in Washington DC. Scott reveals how the role came to him; his long association with this particular venue; his history of leaping into the bodies of other notable Americans, such as Dr. Ruth; how his whole career has been a lovely surprise; coming full circle in the musical Shenandoah!; fudging the rules of time travel; hesitation to do his own beard work; excellent direction from James Whitmore, Jr. (son of another fabled one-man show performer); gratitude for a hero’s return; Lincoln's deep familiarity with Shakespeare; and how the theatre is and always has been Bakula’s first love. (Length 32:24)

The post Scott Bakula’s Lincoln appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.
