Harris Yulin, Actor Who Perpetually Played the Bad Guy, Dies at 87

“The actor’s natural self-important stateliness works beautifully and you’re always aware of the friction between the smooth surface and the roughness of angry confusion beneath.” #BenBrantley on the #chameleonic character actor #HarrisYulin

""It is the birthday of Stephen Sondheim, and it's true that not a day goes by when I don't quote him to myself. Many composers write songs that match our extremes of emotion -- ecstasy, sorrow, rage. Sondheim does all that, but he also captures every shade of feeling in between.""

‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ Is Haunted by Brando and Ghosts of Actors Past With a revival starring Paul Mescal and Patsy Ferran in Brooklyn, a look at the carefully weighted balance that actors playing Blanche and Stanley need to strike.

"For a #Streetcar to have any dramatic suspense, it requires both erotic chemistry between its leads and a feeling that, until the end, its outcome isn’t predetermined — that its combatants are, for a while at least, evenly matched." - #BenBrantley
