AceShowbiz - "Love, Simon" star Nick Robinson is set to make his Broadway debut, opposite Ed Harris, in "To Kill a Mockingbird".
The actor will replace Will Pullen in writer Aaron Sorkin's adaptation of Harper Lee's novel, taking on the role of Jem Finch - a role he played at the Intiman Theatre in his native Seattle, Washington when he was 12.
Robinson will take over the role on November 5, when Harris will succeed Jeff Daniels as Atticus Finch.
The "Pollock" star last hit Broadway 23 years ago, when he starred in a production of "Taking Sides".
Daniels has been portraying lawyer Finch in Sorkin's adaptation since the record-breaking production opened in late 2018.
