Trumbo (Christopher Trumbo)
LaPaglia was supposed to play the title role in this play on May 19, 2003 as part of a rotating cast at the Westside Theatre. However, a scheduling conflict resulted in him having to cancel his appearance. Roy Scheider replaced him.
Other Stage Credits
LaPaglia has also been in an off-Broadway production of "Northeast Local" and a Public Theatre production of "On the Open Road", both in New York City. However, I have no other information on these productions.
