John Stamos (ex-Blackie, GENERAL HOSPITAL) is used to playing the good guy, the guy that everybody likes. But until Sunday, September 9, the actor is trying his hardest to make audiences attending the Broadway production of Gore Vidal's The Best Man really, really hate him! "This character is not liked by anybody other than his wife, really," Stamos chuckles of his alter ego, presidential wannabe Senator Joseph Cantwell. "He's a snake, and he'll do anything to win."

The show is set to close in just a few weeks, and even though Stamos knew he was signing up for a three-month run, he's already wishing it wasn't coming to such a quick end. "I feel like I need more time with this!" he says with a laugh. "First of all, I love it. And secondly, I'm just scratching the surface. It's so rich, and so deep, and there are so many layers to Gore Vidal's writing and the way it can be played, and this character. I won't have it down in a month."
The final performance of The Best Man at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre in New York City is scheduled for Sunday, September 9. To purchase tickets, or for more information about the show, visit www.thebestmanonbroadway.com.
