NEW YORK – Hollywood actor George Clooney is planning to make his Broadway debut in 2025 in a stage adaptation of Good Night, And Good Luck, the 2005 film he directed, co-wrote and starred in.

Clooney, 63, will play Edward R. Murrow, the pioneering newscaster whose storied broadcast career in the mid-20th century made him a journalism icon. That role was played by American actor David Strathairn in the movie, while Clooney portrayed Murrow’s collaborator Fred W. Friendly.
