Actor and playwright Eric Bogosian, known for Talk Radio and "Law & Order: CI," has joined the cast of Manhattan Theatre Club's upcoming Broadway production of Donald Margulies' Time Stands Still, joining a cast that includes Laura Linney, Brian d'Arcy James and Alicia Silverstone.

Tony Award winner Daniel Sullivan (Proof) directs the play about globe-trotting journalists coming out of the shadow of war.

The drama will mark Bogosian's Broadway debut as an actor. He completes the cast. He is best known for his work in Talk Radio, which he wrote and starred in Off-Broadway. Talk Radio was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and was later a film by Oliver Stone. Bogosian's many acting credits include the long-running television series "Law & Order: CI" and Off-Broadway's The Last Days of Judas Iscariot.

In Time Stands Still, Bogosian will play Richard, the photo editor of photographer Sarah, played by Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Linney.

The limited engagement of Time Stands Still will begin previews at MTC's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre (261 West 47th Street) on Jan. 5, 2010, in preparation for a Jan. 28, 2010, opening night.

According to MTC, "Sarah and James, a photographer and a journalist (Laura Linney and Tony Award nominee Brian d'Arcy James), have been together for nine years and share a passion for documenting the realities of war. But when injuries force them to return home to New York, the adventurous couple confronts the prospect of a more conventional life. This timely and intelligent play marks the fourth collaboration for Pulitzer Prize winner Donald Margulies and Tony Award-winning director Daniel Sullivan."
