The late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s legacy, in part, lies with one man who had a very unique friendship with him: Edward Gero who plays Scalia in “The Originalist,” which returns July 7 to Arena Stage.“I feel myself, in a way, representing the legacy of Scalia and all those great characteristics that he had as an intellectual, as a lover of language, as a grammarian, as a philosopher,” Gero said.
The acclaimed stage actor started studying Scalia several years ago, primarily through lunch meetings, before he first played the conservative jurist onstage in March 2015. Scalia died suddenly in February 2016.“The very first thing he said to me, in fact, was, ‘I just want you to know, I’m not coming to see the play, but I’m glad they got someone good to do it so I won’t be embarrassed. Let’s have lunch,’” Gero recalled.
