NEW YORK—Actor Alan Rickman, who was twice nominated for Broadway's coveted Tony Award, and whose first major film role was in "Die Hard" (1988), recently attended the Make A Wish annual gala at Broadway's Hudson Theatre, where he told The Epoch Times that "I'm figuring out whether I can come back to New York and do a play... I'm hoping to be able to do a play."

Rickman co-starred in the 2002 Broadway revival of Noel Coward's comedy "Private Lives."

The Make a Wish organization is devoted to sending professional actors to help brighten the lives of children in hospitals. Former talk show host Kathie Lee Gifford, who is in the revival of "Annie" in New York, and is one of the charity's biggest supporters, was master of ceremonies. Donny Osmond, currently starring in Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" on Broadway, was one of the evening's featured entertainers.
