VCO’s own Jay White wins a role as Neil Diamond in Ron
Howard’s new film "Frost / Nixon." |
|
|
The movie is based on the Broadway play about the
Watergate break-in. Frank Langella will be playing Nixon
and Michael Sheen plays David Frost.
We at VCO are proud
of Jay and hope his scene stays off the cutting room
floor. Jay is as close to Neil Diamond as we have ever
seen! Again, KUDOS!
