Dan Amboyer Joins Alexander in WILLIAM AND KATE Film

According to Deadline.com, Dan Amboyer will join previously announced Jane Alexander in 'William and Kate: A Royal Love Story' for the Hallmark Channel. The film, which chronicles the couple's time together, features a script by Linda Yellen.

Amboyer's stage credits include Orange Lemon Egg Canary and New York International Fringe Festival productions and with E.A.T. He has also guest starred on Law & Order and Body of Proof.

Alexander's major break in acting came in 1967 when she played Eleanor Backman in the original production of Howard Sackler's The Great White Hope at Arena Stage in Washington, DC. Like her co-star, James Earl Jones, she went on to play the part both on Broadway (1968), winning a Tony Award for her performance, and in the film version (1970), which earned her an Oscar nomination. In 1993, President Bill Clinton appointed Alexander chair of the National Endowment for the Arts, the organization that had provided partial funding for The Great White Hope at Arena Stage.

Alexander's additional screen credits include All the President's Men (1976), Kramer vs. Kramer (1979), and Testament (1983), all of which earned her Oscar nods, Brubaker (1980), The Cider House Rules (1999), and Fur (2006), in which she played Gertrude Nemerov, mother of Diane Arbus played in the film by Nicole Kidman.
