For 3 amazing months, I did 8 shows a week at the Neil Simon Theater on Broadway.
There was also an African American version of the TV show called The New Odd Couple starring Ron Glass and Demond Wilson, as well as a more recent redo starring Matthew Perry and Thomas Lennon titled The Odd Couple, which aired on CBS from 2015-2017.
In 1986, Neil Simon cast me as Eugene in his Tony-Award winning play, Biloxi Blues, replacing Matthew Broderick.
Simon’s last feature screenplay was a 1998 sequel titled The Odd Couple II, which reunited Lemmon and Matthau but failed to recapture the same magic, proving a critical and box office disappointment.
