Alfred Molina, the renowned actor known for his roles in “Red” and “Fiddler on the Roof,” is making a splash in New York City after more than 30 years in Los Angeles. The 70-year-old actor recently purchased an apartment on the Upper West Side and is embracing his new status as a New Yorker.
Molina is set to star in the Broadway production of Chekhov’s “Uncle Vanya,” marking his return to the New York stage after nearly 15 years. The play, directed by Lila Neugebauer, features a star-studded cast including Steve Carell and Jayne Houdyshell.
In a recent interview, Molina shared his favorite spots in the city, including his go-to street cart for breakfast near Lincoln Center Theater and his love for walking around Central Park. He also expressed his admiration for the city’s subway system, calling it “very democratic, mostly efficient, sometimes crazy.”
Despite his success and accolades, Molina remains humble and eager to continue learning from other actors. He emphasized the importance of watching other performers to improve one’s craft and stay relevant in the ever-evolving world of theater.
As Molina settles into his new life in New York, he is excited to explore all that the city has to offer, from iconic landmarks like Coney Island to hidden gems like the International Center of Photography. With his passion for the arts and his infectious enthusiasm, Molina is sure to make a lasting impression on the Broadway scene.
