NEW YORK - Hugh Jackman knows how to stop the show. He did it recently when a cell phone call interrupted a preview performance of "A Steady Rain," the Broadway play that stars Jackman and Daniel Craig. The moment captured on an amateur video shown by the TMZ.com Web site appears to have been recorded by someone in the audience.

It shows Jackman breaking character to tell the owner of the ringing cell phone, "You want to get that?" as the audience erupts in cheers. As the ringing persists, Jackman pleads: "Come on, just turn it off." He then paces the stage of the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, waits about a minute for the ringing to stop and the play resumes.

Producers of "A Steady Rain" declined to comment.

The interruption occurred during an intense moment in the play, when Jackman's character, a Chicago policeman, reveals haunting memories.

A customary loudspeaker announcement reminds theatergoers to turn off their phones. Since the incident, ushers who seat patrons and pass out playbills at Schoenfeld are also instructing patrons to silence their phones.

I actually expected him to be furious, but he was actually cool about it. Touche Jackman. You win this time.
 
Aw, I wanted him to sprout claws and tear the guy a few new ones.
 
this just in: cell phones can ring
 
I'm actually glad this played out nice and he didn't call the guy bad names
 
Hugh Jackman and his Australian-ness bug me, but he handled this well.
 
Kudos to Jackman keeping relatively cool. I was waiting for him to go Bale on his/her ass.

Just the thought of that brings a smile to my face.

I find cell phones intolerable to be honest. I cant stand sitting in a train, airport or anywhere public where someone just picks up there phone, doesnt walk off and banters on about the most random crap. Its like 'excuse me, could you...***k off!? I dont want to hear about your father's rectile disfunction or what colour shit your baby had this morning!'
 
this just in: cell phones can ring

This just in. Most cellphones have a button which turns them off so that they don't ring. For example, during a theater performance...

There's no excuse to leave your phone on so that it might potentially ring and disrupt an actor who is performing in front of a large crowd. At the very least, make sure it's on silent.
 
damn was hoping for a meltdown of Michael Richards porportions

"GET OFF THE PHONE ******!!!"
 
That was disappointing.

Needed more celebrity rage.
