Piven latest to turn to stage...
Jeremy Piven is the latest actor to turn to the stage from film as he has signed on to the David Mamet play Speed-the-Plow on Broadway. He's set to play one of the two warring film producers of the story and will debut in November. It seems that the move to stage is something that more and more actors are looking to, and it probably does have something to do with a possible actors strike too. The word from WENN through IMDB is that Jessica Alba is being eyed for the role of the female lead.
