According to a report by Variety, Broadway veterans Norbert Leo Butz and Aaron Tviet might be reprising their roles in the upcoming Broadway production of CATCH ME IF YOU CAN. The duo played conman Frank Abagnale and FBI agent Carl Hanratty in the Seattle premiere in 2009. Though Butz is set to star in MIRACULOUS YEAR, if HBO picks up the series, shooting will not begin before the spring opening of CATCH ME IF YOU CAN.
In a recent article in The New Yorker, Ben McGrath chatted with some of the creators of the upcoming Broadway production of CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, including the real Frank Abagnale, Jr. At a private preview for the show, Abagnale talked about his past, saying of his time spent in prison, 'I just look at those four to five years like I was somebody who did some crazy things as a kid, and that I lived in a great country with the opportunity to do something real positive.'
