After eight years, Blair Underwood returned to Broadway in January, starring as Capt. Richard Davenport in "A Soldier's Play." The Carnegie Mellon University School of Drama alumnus accepted the 11-week run on Broadway when he was approached by director Kenny Leon, someone with whom he had always wanted to work. Plus, he said, the idea of going back to the stage was too tempting to resist.
"It feels great to be back," he said during a recent pre-show interview. "I love getting back on the boards."
