'The Kominsky Method': Michael Douglas says the show is a tragicomedy because it deals with death and aging
Michael Douglas is coming back to TV after 40 years. He will be seen next in the forthcoming Netflix comedy 'The Kominsky Method' that is all set to premiere on Saturday. 'The Kominsky Method' is created by Chuck Lorre. The Oscar-winning actor stars as Sandy Kominsky, an acting teacher who battles situations that life throws at him along with his best friend, Norman, played by Alan Arkin from 'Little Miss Sunshine'.
In a recent interview with TV Guide Magazine, the 74-year-old star talks about returning to TV after such a long break. Starting off by revealing why he chose 'The Kominsky Method' after his last starring role in ABC’s 'The Streets of San Francisco' in 1970, he says, "It’s difficult to get the character-driven films that I prefer produced these days. Plus, I’ve been a big fan of Chuck Lorre’s since 'Dharma & Greg' and 'Two and a Half Men'. He’s a hell of a writer. But I wasn’t thinking about TV at all until I got sent this script. It turned out to be a great experience."
