EXCLUSIVE: Jacob Moskovitz, star of Prime Video’s Elle, is joining the cast of Kowalski as Marlon Brando.
Moskovitz will join Johnny Galecki as Tennessee Williams in the Gregg Ostrin play directed by Colin Hanlon. The play will run from September 15 through October 25 at Chicago’s Lookingglass Theatre Company at the historic Water Tower Water Works.
Kowalski is set over one pivotal evening in 1947 Provincetown, imagining the electrifying first meeting between Tennessee Williams and a young Marlon Brando, just as Williams searches for the actor who would forever change the destiny of A Streetcar Named Desire.
The play blends fact, memory, and theatrical imagination, offering a glimpse into the creative forces behind one of the most influential works in American theater. Kowalski explores the intersection of ambition, artistry, desire, and the creation of theatrical history.
Moskovitz recently starred in the Legally Blonde prequel Elle, which has already been renewed for a second season at Amazon’s Prime Video. In the series, Moskovitz plays the role of Miles Cohen, a track star who takes an interest in Elle.
The actor also recently completed production on the Fernando Meirelles-directed Netflix feature Here Comes the Flood, appearing alongside Robert Pattinson, Denzel Washington, and Daisy Edgar-Jones.
Other credits for Moskovitz include the Seth Meyers-produced feature Brian, the independent feature The Floaters, A24’s Y2K, Chicago P.D., The Good Fight, Magnum P.I., and FBI: International, among others.
Kowalski is an Off-Broadway hit that had a limited run in 2025 at Duke on 42nd Street. The cast featured Robin Lord Taylor as Williams and 13 Reasons Why star Brandon Flynn as Brando.
