Bruce Weitz and Carol Kane appear in a scene from the new comedy,
"Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune."

Belker To Broadway:
Weitz Gets Hot New Role

MICHAEL ELKIN

Special to The Jewish News

H

is roles are crowded
with a sense of
loneliness.
As Detective Mick Belker,
Bruce Weitz pounded the beat
to the semisweet yet sad tune
of television's "Hill Street
Blues."
But it is a different beat
that is pounding away in my
mind as I think of Weitz now
It is the sound of Debussy's
Clair de Lune, and it is the
music that becomes Weitz's
muse in a hot off-Broadway
play at the. Westside Arts
Theater in New York.
Weitz portrays Johnny, a
short-order chef with an
undercooked life until he
meets Frankie the waitress in

Frankie and Johnny in the
Clair de Lune.

Frankie and Johnny are
more survivors than lovers,
climaxing a relationship after
they have been to bed. Indeed,
it is in bed where we first
meet them, flailing away at
the frustration that has
blanketed their sleepy lives.
They are both loners, toss-
ed together by the furious
force of circumstance. They
work together, sleep together
and now are forced to get to
know each other in Frankie's

closed-in apartment, crawling
with clutter.
Thrrence McNally's play is
a marvel of feeling. Clair de
Lune is a symphony of sur-
prises, sentient in its depic-
tion of this emotionally
underachieving couple — the
waitress and the short-order
cook who discover in short
order that lie has its own
warped version of the day's
special.
As Johnnie, Weitz is
something special himself.
But then, he doesn't need
Clair de Lune to prove that
point. Those familiar with the
actor's cretinous but caring
cop on "Hill Street" unders-
tand well why his peers voted
him one Emmy Award and six
nominations.
They also understand why
Weitz was able to score so well
as the distressed Richard
Whitehad in "Baby M," the
television miniseries aout the
celebrated Mary Beth White-
head surrogate motherhood
case.
In a way, Weitz is a sur-
rogate himself, the actor stan-
ding in for those who feel
emotionally disenfranchised.

"Why do I seem to always
get such parts?" he muses as
we sit and chat about the pro-
tean parts he has portrayed
through the years. "I tend to
