NEW COMEDY: MICHAEL DOUGLAS
It’s certainly a busy November for Michael Douglas. As the veteran actor’s
star is unveiled on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the seventy four year old takes the lead role in new Netflix comedy The Kominsky Method, which hits our screens on Friday. The eight-part series comes from Chuck Lorre, the brains behind The Big Bang Theory, and sees Douglas playing a once famous actor, Sandy Kominsky, who now earns a living in Los Angeles as an acting coach. Among the cast is eighty four year-old Alan Arkin as Sandy’s cranky longtime agent Norman, House actress Lisa Edelstein as Norman’s pill-addicted daughter Phoebe and Nancy Travis as Lisa, a divorcee who takes lessons from Sandy. ‘The show is about coming to grips with the reality of getting older,’ says Lorre. ‘There’s plenty of humour in the enormous cultural gap between Sandy and his fresh-faced students, most of whom are five decades younger than him.’
