Hi there,

Anyone know what James Naughton is up to these days?

Asking what he is 'up to' may be a little insensitive, considering he is doing the voiceovers for Cialis (talking about erectile dysfunction)........

He is at least still getting paid from Chicago.

primarily voiceover work. he is the voice of Cialis and of Audi (radio + television). those two gigs alone provide him with more than enough to live on for years and years.  he still does make cameos in television dramas, too. most recently THE AFFAIR, BLACKLIST, GOLDEN BOY, and BLUE BLOODS.  don't think a permanent return to the stage is likely though.

He's had a tough time following the death of his wife Pamela in 2013 (pancreatic cancer). The couple had been married 40 years.
 
He makes a lot of appearances locally in the Weston/Westport area, play readings at Westport Country Playhouse, host of a number of local charity events (he's a never-say-no kind of guy).

He also is very supportive of his daughter Keira, son Greg and daughter-in-law Kelli O'Hara. He performed at a tribute last year to Kelli in Westport that also featured Matthew Morrison.

Many thanks for the info, folks. I'm a fan and would be great to see him back on stage.

Have a good day.

He's appearing at a concert next month with his family including Kelli O'Hara. It's through Symphony Space if you're interested to see him perform again. (Though I agree a stage production would be great!)
