Boston Legal fans are already counting down to September 22, when ABC’s
Boston Legal returns to television screens with its fifth season. Additionally,
Boston Legal’s fourth season DVD will be available for purchase a day later on September 23. A couple of months ago, FOX announced that they will be releasing a 5-disc set containing the grueling fourth season of
Boston Legal. The DVD is presented in Anamorphic Widescreen, with audio tracks in English Dolby Surround Sound and French Dolby Surround. The 926-minute, 20 episode-long season follows
John Larroquette as he is recruited into the Boston office of Crane (
William Shatner), Poole and Schmidt as a lawyer and love interest of Shirley Schmidt (
Candice Bergen).
Meanwhile, another Boston Legal actor was supposedly set to appear on Broadway, but recent reports say that he has pulled out of that particular stint.
Variety reported last week that
Craig Bierko, who appeared on
Boston Legal as Jeffrey Coho, pulled away from Manhattan Theater Club’s upcoming Broadway production titled
To Be or Not To Be. He was previously cast as one of the leaders of a legit troupe in Poland’s World War II era. The play is an adaptation of the 1942 film of the same name.
Production hasn’t revealed the reason behind Bierko’s exit. Nonetheless, the production’s director, Casey Nicholaw told Broadway.com, “Craig is a gifted actor and although he will be missed, I look forward to the possibility of working with him again in the future.”
Executive Producer Barry Grove and Acting Artistic Director Daniel Sullivan added, "We respect Craig's decision to leave the production and we will announce his replacement shortly."
Meanwhile, another
Boston Legal actor is set to appear in NBC’s
Chuck, which returns to television screens on September 29th. The Boston Herald reports that John Larroquette, who plays Carl Sack on
Boston Public, will be appearing as guest early on the upcoming season of
Chuck. No word yet on role he will be playing.
Catch
Boston Public when it returns to television screens on September 22nd at 10pm on ABC.
