In other Springsteen talk show news … Actor Jeremy Strong, who plays Bruce’s manager Jon Landau in Deliver Me From Nowhere, appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Thursday, where he revealed that he was a big Springsteen fan and even had Springsteen’s “If I Should Fall Behind,” from 1992’s Lucky Town, played at his wedding. 

As for appearing in the movie, about Springsteen’s making of 1982’s Nebraska, Strong shared, “Nebraska is an album I’ve always loved, so to give back even a modicum of something to give back to someone who has given so much to all of us was a real privilege.”
