Here's the URL to Datalounge with that posting. It's #863. A couple
of other posters called it BS, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's
true. But who know? It's a gossip site.

anonymous person who states that he works at the Roundabout
Theater:"As for David S.- he did not like the direction his
character was going (READ: conflicts with the director) so he
decided to bail. I can't say as I blame him. He's a nice guy and
apparently the director and production staff are busy stroking the
needy ego of one actor.... and I'm not talking about the formerly
silent clown or the big guy."You know, this sounds more likely that
the "injured foot" story on All That Chat, which sounded too much
like the explanation for the departure of Christian Hoff from the
Roundabout Theater production of PAL JOEY a few months ago.As for
the "needy ego" the other cast members are Nathan Lane, Bill Irwin,
and John Goodman, so I'll give everyone one guess who the "one
actor" is.
