James O'Hagan Murphy didn't set out to specialize in playing members of the Kennedy family. But he's currently portraying Robert F. Kennedy in the one-man show
RFK at the
Avenue Theater, a role for which he won our
Best Actor in a Drama in the Best of Denver 2013. He got that part after playing Joe Kennedy Jr. in
Grey Gardens, also he's also been cast as Torvald in
A Doll's House and Dieter in Iddo Netanyahu's
A Happy End. Before this
RFK run ends on Sunday, we caught up with Murphy to talk about the challenges of playing a Kennedy.
