Tom Everett Scott to Join Julie White in The Little Dog Laughed on B'way

Tom Everett Scott will co-star with Julie White and Johnny Galecki in the Broadway transfer of Douglas Carter Beane's comedy The Little Dog Laughed . Performances begin at the Cort Theatre on October 26 under the direction of Scott Ellis.

A sold-out hit at off-Broadway's Second Stage Theatre last winter, The Little Dog Laughed is a biting farce with a cast of four: a screen idol hiding in the closet Scott, who replaces Neal Huff, an ambitious male prostitute Galecki, his naïve girlfriend originally played by Zeo Lister-Jones, the role has not yet been cast for Broadway and a brash, driven Hollywood agent who can spin anyone and anything White.

Scott, who currently stars in the TNT series Saved, will make his Broadway debut in The Little Dog Laughed. He previously appeared in the Drama Dept.'s off-Broadway production of Beane's The Country Club and has acted onstage in Los Angeles in Turnaround with David Schwimmer and Dead End. His film credits include That Thing You Do!, An American Werewolf in Paris, Dead Man on Campus and One True Thing.

White received a 2006 Obie Award and was nominated for Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Drama League Awards for her performance in The Little Dog Laughed. She has appeared on Broadway in The Heidi Chronicles and off-Broadway in Spike Heels, The Family of Man, Bad Dates, Dinner With Friends and Fiction. She is currently featured in Desperate Housewives and appeared for several seasons in Grace Under Fire.

Galecki has appeared in numerous Chicago theater productions, including The Drawer Boy, Pot Mom, Galileo and The Member of the Wedding. He will make his Broadway debut with this production.

The Little Dog Laughed is scheduled to open officially on Broadway on November 13.
