He’s currently playing Claude, the conflicted emotional center of Hair at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park, opening tonight, and this fall he’ll star in his first straight play on Broadway, Bartlett Sher’s production of Craig Lucas’s Prayer for My Enemy at Playwrights Horizons. Groff took a break from feeling the love to talk to Vulture about his charmed career, going hippie, and soft landings.

“I don’t have complications,” Joshua Jackson’s Dr. Christopher Duntsch claims in the first trailer for Peacock’s upcoming scripted drama Dr. Death. Technically speaking, that might be true, but only because what went on in the real-life surgeon’s operating room was so much more horrifying than an unavoidable mistake or a terrible side effect. Based on the nonfiction Wondery podcast of the same name, Dr. Death follows the trail of the Dallas spinal doctor turned villain, as neurosurgeon Robert Henderson (Alec Baldwin) and vascular surgeon Randall Korby (Christian Slater), joined by prosecutor Michelle Shughart (AnnaSophia Robb), start piecing together the unspeakably bad patient outcomes, including two deaths, that followed Duntsch’s bizarre surgical decisions.

SNL’s Kyle Mooney showed up on Comedy Bang! Bang! recently as the show’s intern Monty, and Aukerman made him report live from a scene of earthquake destruction while also demanding he make silly butt jokes at his own expense. Kyle Mooney Plays Overworked ‘Comedy Bang! Bang!’ […] ncG1vNJzZmivp6x7t8HLrayrnV6YvK57kWlobWdga3ysxcueZKann6OyunnPpZiyq12kw6a%2B1qippJ2UYrCwucSdsGaakaO0bq7Ap55moZ6psrO6jKamp6ypY7W1ucs%3D

Still from Legion Next year will be the 17th annum of the superhero boom, a pop-culture phenomenon that has grown troublingly stale. Luckily, 2017 will bring us Legion, a remarkable superpowered TV narrative that — at least as far as we can tell from some footage shown at New York Comic-Con — feels wholly unlike anything else in the genre. We’ve known precious little about it, but we can rack up one more factoid today: The show will premiere on Wednesday, February 8, at 10 p.

Maddie Ziegler has up until now been reality-TV famous as the wunderkind dancer of Abby Lee’s Dance Company on Lifetime’s Dance Moms. Now the 11-year-old gets a taste of internet fame as Sia’s pint-size manifestation in the music video for her lead single, “Chandelier,” which has hit over 11 million views and included a live performance featuring Ziegler alongside the shy Australian chanteuse on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Vulture caught up with Maddie in between dance practice and talked with her about performing on Ellen, Sia’s tattoos, and making Drew Barrymore cry.

The Dowager Countess (Maggie Smith) and Isabel (Penelope Wilton) redefined friendship goals as “become BFFs over the course of a decade with your distant cousin after our respective grandaughter and son, who are also cousins, fall in love, but the son dies in a car crash” on Downton Abbey, so when Vulture ran into Wilton at the Downton film’s premiere at Alice Tully Hall on Monday evening, we had one question and one question only: What are her and Smith’s favorite ways to chillax when the cameras stop rolling?

Scorsese and De Niro on the set of Taxi Driver. Last week, for its annual “Yesteryear” issue, New York Magazine published “New York After Midnight,” a celebration of the city after dark from a variety of writers and cultural figures. In honor of that, we went to the man who directed what may well be the greatest New York–by-night movie ever. The man is Martin Scorsese. And the film, of course, is Taxi Driver, a stylized, gritty 1976 portrait of a lonely cabbie’s descent into madness and violence in a hellish city.

Late on Friday afternoon, Nellie Andreeva of the Hollywood Reporter reported that production of one of NBC’s fall series, Parenthood, has been delayed by up to eight weeks while star Maura Tierney deals with an unnamed medical issue. Andreeva’s initial report included a statement that Tierney “has been public about her long struggle to quit smoking,” but this sentence disappeared from the post sometime over the weekend. Either way, concern for Tierney’s health (and the medical condition that she is suffering from) grew exponentially over the weekend, which led Tierney to break her silence this afternoon by way of a statement she gave to Us magazine.

Over her almost-25-year career, Michelle Forbes, the Texas-bred actress, has popped up in pretty much every conceivable genre of television — sci-fi (Battlestar Galactica), camp fantasia (True Blood), action (24), drama (In Treatment), comedy (Seinfeld). These days, the perennial guest star can be found in another drama, AMC’s The Killing, playing Mitch Larsen, the glassy-eyed, grief-stricken mother of a murdered girl. Vulture asked the 46-year-old ex-punk rocker to walk us through her wily, winding career.
