Actor Tom Hanks will make his Broadway debut as a tabloid journalist in the Nora Ephron play, Lucky Man.

Hanks previously collaborated with screenwriter Ephron, who died in June, on the hit films Sleepless in Seattle and You’ve Got Mail.

The new play follows the rise and fall of real-life journalist Mike McAlary as he covered the police scandals of 1980s New York. McAlary died aged 41 in 1998.

The play, which opens in April, marks Hanks’ first Broadway role.
