After

Michael
Douglas
has
vowed
to
act
again
and
said
he
is
looking
forward
to
his
next
role
as
Liberace.
The
Oscar-winning
actor,
who
has
been
battling
throat
cancer
since
August,
said
he
was
looking
forward
to
the
'third
act" of
his
career.
He
would
play
the
title
part
in
director
Steven
Soderbergh's
'Liberace",
due
to
begin
filming
in
May
or
June,
and
is
currently
studying
videos
of
the
entertainer
at
his
apartment
in
New
York.
Douglas,
66,
who
has
undergone
eight
weeks
of
grueling
treatment,
said
he
would
undergo
a
scan
in
January
to
see
if
his
cancer
has
been
eliminated.
He
said
the
diagnosis
had
brought
him
closer
to
his
father
Kirk
Douglas
with
whom
he
had
a
strained
relationship
for
many
years.
“I've
been
overwhelmed
by
the
outpouring
of
love
and
support.
Cancer
has
shown
me
what
family
is.
It
showed
me
a
love
that
I
never
knew
really
existed," the
Telegraph
quoted
him
as
telling
the
Hollywood
Reporter.
He
is
also
making
plans
to
take
wife
Catherine
Zeta-Jones
and
their
two
children,
Dylan,
10,
and
Carys,
seven,
on
a
round-the-world
trip.
