Hill Hankers after Max Bialystock???

Date: 10 January 2005

American Brad Oscar may have just taken over this week, but fans of Conleth Hill may still be able to look forward to the chameleon-like Irishman�s version of unscrupulous showman Max Bialystock. At the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, Hill is currently playing flamboyant director Roger Debris in Mel Brooks� hit musical comedy, The Producers, for which he�s been nominated for one of this year�s Whatsonstage.com Theatregoers� Choice Awards(click here to vote now). In this week�s 20 Questions interview, Hill admits that the casting idea appeals to him: �Of course, yeah, I�d enjoy playing Max, it�s a great part. And I like the fact that it�s being talked about, I�m flattered that people would think of me. Wouldn�t it be great if I could just say, �yeah, I haven�t told the producers yet, but I�m doing it�? But it�s not in my hands, and it�s not something I lose sleep over or worry about or am concerned about. As it is, I�m really happy doing Roger.�
