Biographie
Jonathan Groff stars in HBO's series "Looking." Directed by Andrew Haigh and also starring Frankie Alvarez and Murray Bartlett, the series follows the lives of three young gay best friends looking for love in modern-day San Francisco.
The Lancaster, Penn., native can be seen in the independent feature "C.O.G.," which was part of the dramatic competition at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. Directed/adapted by Kyle Patrick Alvarez and based on the popular David Sedaris short story, the movie tells the story of a cocky young man (Groff) who travels to Oregon to work on an apple farm, finding himself out of his element. Groff recent wrapped production in HBO's "The Normal Heart," alongside Mark Ruffalo, Matt Bomer and Julia Roberts. Adapted from the award-winning play by Larry Kramer, the film chronicles a gay activist who attempts to raise HIV/AIDS awareness during the early 1980s. Additionally, Groff will be seen in Alex Lombard's short mystery, "Sophie,"a story about ironic love in the big city.
Groff made his big-screen debut as the legendary concert promoter and co-creator of the famed Woodstock Music and Art Festival in Ang Lee's "Taking Woodstock." Groff's credits also include Robert Redford's "The Conspirator," alongside James McAvoy and Robin Wright, and the independent drama "Twelve-Thirty," written and directed by Jeff Lipsky.
Perhaps best known as Jesse in Fox's "Glee," Groff reprised his role, assuming coaching duties of his former glee club. He also joined the Starz series "Boss," portraying an ambitious staffer in the office of the mayor of Chicago (Kelsey Grammer), who's been diagnosed with a degenerative neurological disorder. Groff's TV credits also include a guest-starring role on CBS' "The Good Wife."
A young veteran of the theater, Groff originated the role of Melchior Gabor in the Tony® Award-winning musical "Spring Awakening," featuring music by Duncan Sheik and book & lyrics by Steven Sater. The role earned Groff a 2007 Theatre World Award, plus Tony, Drama Desk and Drama League Award nominations. He took the role Off-Broadway at the Atlantic Theatre Company, later reprising it on Broadway at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre. Groff next appeared as Claude in The Public Theater's revival of "Hair," the seminal rock musical of the 1960s. The show ran as part of The Public Theater's "Shakespeare in the Park" series at the Delacorte Theatre.
Groff also tackled difficult roles in two Off-Broadway plays by acclaimed playwright/ screenwriter Craig Lucas, for which he was the recipient of a Village Voice Obie Award for outstanding performance: "Prayer for My Enemy,"directed by Bartlett Sher, at Playrwights Horizons, and "The Singing Forest," co-starring Olympia Dukakis, at the Public Theatre.
Prior to making his West End debut at the Noel Coward Theatre in the heralded revival of Ira Levin's "Deathtrap,"directed by Matthew Warchus and co-starring Simon Russell Beale, Groff starred as Dionysus in the Public Theater's summer staging of Euripides' "The Bacchae," helmed by Obie Award-winning director JoAnne Akalaitis and featuring original music by Philip Glass. Groff starred on stage opposite Rutina Wesley and Eddie Kaye Thomas in the MCC Theater production of Jeff Talbot's provocative Off-Broadway drama, "The Submission," directed by Walter Bobbie, and he joined Alfred Molina in the Donmar Warehouse production of the Tony®-winning best play, "Red," directed by Michael Grandage, at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles.
