The level of development of information technology allows you to shoot the most colorful and meaningful films. American actor Jonathan Groff woke up famous one morning. This was made possible thanks to the talents of the director and producer.
Happy childhood
According to people who deeply believe in God, the birth of a person is considered a gift for a person. Life is not only a gift from the Creator, but also a serious obligation to him. Jonathan Groff was born March 26, 1985 in a family of members of the Methodist Church. Parents at that time lived in the city of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. They carefully, every week, visited one of the local parishes to listen to another sermon. In the same spirit they raised their two sons. My father worked as a coach and caretaker in an equestrian club. Mother taught literature at school. Husband and wife lived together. Scandals and quarrels in the house never happened.
Jonathan grew up a calm and obedient child. Most of the time he spent under the tutelage of his older brother. At an early age he loved to watch music programs on television and sing along to popular artists. Groff studied well at school. He was distinguished by diligence, but there were not enough stars from the sky. Most of all, the boy was fascinated by classes in a drama studio. After several rehearsals, he openly declared that he wanted to become an actor in the future. Parents were only happy with this decision and strongly supported their son.
In turn, Jonathan always invited his mother and father to school performances in which he took part. The directors of the local opera house attracted a novice actor to participate in professional productions. As a schoolboy, Groff played leading roles in the performances of Peter Pan, My Fair Lady, and The Sound of Music. Classes in theatrical creativity carried away the young man, but he seriously thought about his future. In 2003, he graduated from high school and decided to study at Carnegie University.
And everything would have worked out smoothly, but for the tuition fees, impressive amounts were required, which parents did not have. In order not to get into debt to the banks, Jonathan decided to postpone the receipt. Instead of studying, he moved to New York and began to try his acting skills in theaters on the famous Broadway. It is important to emphasize that many famous actors performed on this street. Even more talents could not break through to the heights of success and remained in the dark forever. Apparently God was helping Groff.
Successful debut
Speaking on Broadway, Jonathan was well aware that without thorough preparation, without special education, achieving high results is very difficult. For this reason, he began to take acting lessons from famous teachers. Most of the fees received for his performances, he gave for the lessons. Even ordinary vocal connoisseurs know how important it is to put a voice to a professional singer. Groff also knew about this and did not spare money for thorough professional training. The results of the classes were not long in coming.
According to the announcement, in the spring of 2006, on one of the Broadway stages, viewers were presented with the rock musical Spring Awakening. Groff played one of the main roles in the play. For this performance, the actor received a prestigious award established by the Association of Theater Workers. The next production, Sounds of Music, in the same season made experts and spectators speak of Jonathan as a professional actor. Then he flashed in the psychedelic musical Hair. By the end of the season, the actor was recognized as his colleagues, and viewers, and critics.
In movies and on TV
A television career for Groff began in 2007. He was approved for a supporting role in the soap opera "One Life to Live." The actor perfectly coped with the task that the director set for him. Then there was a little work in the film "Handsome and Cutie". The following season, Jonathan was approved for one of the key roles in the series with elements of drama, comedy and the musical The Choir. He liked the script. For four years, the actor had a permanent job. But all good things come to an end.
In 2012, Groff starred in the political drama The Boss. He was then invited to the project under the intriguing title, “The Right Wife.” After these paintings, his name was no longer used in the list of young and promising actors. They began to recognize Jonathan Groff on the street, in supermarkets and other public places. In 2014, he was invited to participate in the series "In Search". The theme of the series and the role that was offered were close to Jonathan. Thanks to this combination, the actor in the process of filming "laid out" to the maximum.
