CELEBRITY SPOTLIGHT - Eddie Redmayne
Today's Celebrity Spotlight will be on a theater actor who also transcended into the movies and TV. Common notion is that if you are a movie actor, you can't be a TV actor or a theater actor. However, a lot of actors have disproved this notion and transcended from TV to movies or from Movies to theater or from theater to movies and so on. Such are the likes of Hugh Jackman (Sunset Boulevard , X men, Kate and Leopold), Matthew Broderick (Inspector Gadget, Lion King, Nice work If you can get it ), Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter series, How to succeed in Business Without Really Trying) and Idina Menzel (Wicked, Glee, Rent;both movie and theater). Our celebrity for today is no different, so without further ado, let us welcome Eddie Redmayne
