T.R. Knight to Broadway, Too?

Ashton Kutcher may not be the only television actor to join Broadway in the upcoming months. T.R. Knight, best known as Dr. George O’Malley on the ABC drama Grey’s Anatomy, may soon be making his Broadway comeback very shortly, as it was recently announced that the actor has made a request to producers of Grey’s to release him from his contract with the show three years early due to a lack of storyline for his character. His request was granted this week, and signs are pointing to Broadway for Knight’s next endeavor.

T.R. Knight is said to be looking into a revival of the Ken Ludwig comedy Lend Me a Tenor, for which he recently did a reading alongside Alfred Molina, Tony Shalhoub and Marian Seldes. Should he take a role in the upcoming revival of the Ludwig production, it will not be Knight’s first romp with Broadway. The actor made a cameo in Broadway’s Tartuffe and also appeared in the revival of Noises Off in 2001. He’s also had roles in several other major plays and productions, so while he may not be George O’Malley anymore, T.R. Knight may indeed be headed back to the spotlight very soon.
