I love doing both theater and television. I definitely foresee more Broadway, but I think I would like to keep the singing and the TV separate.

I've certainly played those leading man or male juvenile roles, where you're not supposed to make people laugh.

Even though I'm from the Midwest, the majority of my life has been spent on the coasts where being gay wasn't really much of a conversation.

My only goal is to make the crew laugh, basically. It's the only litmus I have to know, is this good or not?

I'm happy to say I haven't received that much negative feedback. I'm always thrilled when I get feedback from young people, particularly from The New Normal, young gay people - when they say they want that when they grow up, that means a lot to me. As a kid growing up, I didn't really have a lot of gay role models on television, so it's nice to be part of a movement that gives some more of those.

I've been pretty career-focused since moving to New York.

I was interested in being part of interesting stories. As an actor, you generally don't get to choose what projects you are part of, so I've been very fortunate that The Book of Mormon was something I got to be part of.
