Hutton & Quaid to Star in B'way's Terrible Advice

Broadway.com has learned that Timothy Hutton and Randy Quaid, who will co-star in the upcoming Sci Fi channel miniseries 5 Days to Midnight, will soon be appearing together on the Great White Way. The actors are set to star in the world premiere of Saul Rubinek's Terrible Advice on Broadway in the fall, according to lead producer John Gould Rubin.

Terrible Advice is about four people in their 40s two men and two women grappling with old friendships, love, betrayal, sex and revenge. Hutton will play Jake, a handsome man who has lived off women his entire life and has spent just that long giving terrible advice to his friend Stinky Quaid. When Jake's unwise words land Stinky homeless, penniless and alone, Stinky decides to strike back.

Hutton hit it big in 1981 when he earned an Academy Award, a Golden Globe and a Los Angeles Film Critic's Award for his performance in Ordinary People. His subsequent film credits include Taps for which he earned a Golden Globe nomination, Daniel, The Falcon and the Snowman, Made in Heaven, Q&A, The General's Daughter, French Kiss, Beautiful Girls, The Substance of Fire, Sunshine State and Secret Window. Hutton has appeared on Broadway in Love Letters and Prelude to a Kiss and off-Broadway in Babylon Gardens at the Circle Repertory Company in 1991.

Quaid first gained attention in 1971 as part of the ensemble cast of Peter Bogdanavich's The Last Picture Show. Two years later he was nominated for an Academy Award for his work in The Last Detail. His other film credits include Paper Moon, The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz, Fool For Love, No Man's Land, Caddyshack II, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Days of Thunder, Texasville, Freaked, The Paper, Bye Bye Love, Independence Day, Kingpin, Hard Rain, Last Rites, P.U.N.K.S., Not Another Teen Movie, The Adventures of Pluto Nash and Grind. Quaid also notably earned an Emmy nomination for his performance as Mitch in the 1984 small screen A Streetcar Named Desire, a Golden Globe nomination for his work in the television movie LBJ: The Early Years and appeared as a series regular on Saturday Night Live, Davis Rules and The Brotherhood of Poland, New Hampshire. Quaid appeared off-Broadway in True West at the Cherry Lane Theatre in 1982 and The Golem at Central Park's Delacorte Theatre in 1984, but he has never been on the Great White Way.

No theater has been announced for Terrible Advice. Rubinek will direct his play.
