American, Actor; He is famous from Spring Awakening.
Groff, along with other openly gay actors (including Sean Hayes and Neil Patrick Harris) was the target of a highly controversial April 2010 Newsweek article by Ramin Setoodeh that argued that gay actors are not convincing playing straight characters. The article created a huge media backlash, with many public figures (including Groff and Hayes' co-star Kristin Chenoweth) decrying it as homophobic and defending Hayes's, Harris's, and Groff's performances as straight characters. While Jonathan Groff was raised Methodist, his father was raised Mennonite. Remains very good friends with his "Spring Awakening" costar, Lea Michele. Nominated for a Tony Award for Best Actor for "Spring Awakening" in 2007.
