Rick Springfield to join "Ricki and the Flash"?

Evidently, Rick Springfield had to cancel an upcoming concert in order to fly to New York for a script reading of Ricki and the Flash.  Director Jonathan Demme had recently revealed that there's a role in the film of a man who plays Meryl's love interest, himself also a rocker.  Seems reasonable that this may in fact be the role Springfield is set to portray.  I've never seen him act, but it's widely known that he had/has a recurring role on the soap opera General Hospital, so it's not like he's a total novice.  Interested to see if this pans out for him and the film.

  1. Is that a recent picture? He looks quite sexy. I remember Meryl said when she was offered Prime that the idea of being the older woman sounded like fun!

    1. I'm not sure how old the picture is but I don't think it's super old. Yeah Meryl thought she was going to be the older woman with a younger man, but then realized that Uma Thurman was the older woman and Meryl was the older older woman. Ha

  2. The Rick Springfield Fan community is very excited about this possibility. He had an arc on Californication during the 3rd season. Here are some more current photos http://rickspringfield.com/photos/
