Have you seen the current LA Stage Magazine?

"Trying's" Alan Mandell is on the cover!

"You just do whatever you do and life takes you wherever. I have been so lucky, so fortunate. But
it's not something that I sat down and planned. I just worked.... No one could discourage me from
the thing I really loved. Find out what you are absolutely passionate about and do it. Don't let
anything stop you."

-- Alan Mandell, who portrays Judge Francis Biddle in "Trying"
