Bobby Cannavale will portray the estranged lover of Robin Williams in the feature adaptation of Armistead Maupin's "The Night Listener" for Hart Sharp Entertainment reports Variety.
Toni Collette, Sandra Oh, Rory Culkin and Joe Morton also star in the pic, which is now in production under "The Business Of Strangers" helmer Patrick Stettner. The story concerns a popular radio show host who, while trying to cope with a splintering romance, strikes up a telephone relationship with his biggest fan. Maupin adapted the screenplay with Terry Anderson and Stettner.
Cannavale will next be seen in Lions Gate Films' "Happy Endings" and United Artists' "Romance and Cigarettes." He rose to fame for a performance in the acclaimed "The Station Agent" and is well known for his roles as arguably the longest lasting boyfriend of Will Truman on hit sitcom "Will & Grace" and the man with the 'funky spunk' on an acclaimed "Sex & the City" episode.
