Jeff Daniels hopes his God of Carnage co-star James Gandolfini will not cancel another performance of the Broadway show - insisting he has "no patience" for actors who don't show up for work.
The pair will again share the stage alongside Hope Davis and Marcia Gay Harden when the Yasmina Reza play resumes on Tuesday (08Sep09) after a brief summer hiatus.
Gandolfini was forced to scrap a preview of the show on doctors' orders to rest his voice in March (09) - and Daniels is anxious his celebrity co-stars will fall ill before the cast takes its final bow.
He tells the New York Daily News: "I’m old school. I don’t have any patience... There’s a responsibility to show up, even more with us (four) to do the show no matter what."
Over the years Daniels has worked in all different acting mediums from the theatre to the big screen in movies such as Speed and The Squid and the Whale.
He waslast seen on the big screen in The Answer Man and will return later this month in Sam Mendes' Away We Go.
