Jake considering Broadway turn

Jake Gyllenhaal is reportedly mulling a new role - on Broadway. The 26-year-old hottie is considering a part in the political stage drama Farragut North, due to open this fall. Gyllenhaal took part in a private reading of the play last week, which centers around an idealistic communications director making a run for office and is based on 2004 Democratic candidate Howard Dean. According to the New York Times, the play's author Beau Willimon is "a playwright [who] worked on Howard Dean's presidential campaign."
