T.R. Knight Takes Aim at Broadway

No sooner does T.R. Knight strip off his Grey's Anatomy scrubs than the former George O'Malley has landed his next gig, on Broadway.

The actor, who announced his departure from the ABC hit last month, is set to star in a revival of playwright Ken Ludwig's 1989 farce, Lend Me a Tenor, likely to open on the Great White Way in February 2010, reports Variety.

The production will be further distinguished in that its director will be a first timer, actor Stanley Tucci (The Devil Wears Prada and the upcoming Julie & Julia, also starring Meryl Streep).

Lend Me a Tenor involves a catastrophic production of the opera Otello. The role Knight, 36, will play, Max, was originated on Broadway by future Alias star Victor Garber, who earned a Tony nomination for it.
