An actor of international renown, Alan Smithee portrayed Lt. Duvallet in Teaneck New Theatre's production
of "Fanny's First Play" by George Bernard Shaw, directed by Alan Lauderdale.
Smithee has been quoted as saying, "Lauderdale is the most gifted director with whom I have ever
had the good fortune to work. He intuitively senses my thoughts and knows precisely how to communicate his own.
It is as if we read each other's minds."
