A new way to ask “what if”

Excerpt from the article:

Silas Weir Mitchell plays Roland—or rather, many Rolands—in Nick Payne’s Constellations alongside co-star Dana Green (Marianne) with a range of finely-calibrated choices. Repeating the same lines seconds apart, he deftly switches moods to come off as a creep, a curmudgeon, a charmer.

His changeling skills make more sense when you consider where you probably last saw him: starring as a werewolf on TV’s Grimm. On that show, Weir Mitchell’s acting consistently deepened and dignified some pretty shaky scripts, so it’s been nice to see him take on stronger writing in this production and a prior PCS play, Three Days of Rain.

Portland Center Stage’s Constellations continues through June 11 in The Armory. Ticket and schedule information here.

A new way to ask “what if”

“The road trip in Germany is our salute to Season 1, which was basically Monroe and Nick’s buddy comedy. History suggests they should be mortal enemies but they became best friends. Monroe is such a fantastic character. If it wasn’t for him, Nick would have no entrée to this wild and crazy Grimm world. He’d still be floundering around like a fool. And I’d be doing the same without Silas. He’s such a brilliant actor. When we started shooting Grimm, I was so nervous and unsure of myself. It was Silas who pulled me through.”
