Los Angeles, Apr 14, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Anybody who has seen the spring premiere of “Glee”, and everybody has by now, will have noticed Jonathan Groff, the new face in “Glee”. Although new to “Glee”, this is not the first television appearance of Jonathan Groff. He was seen in the sitcom “One Life To Live” long back before his character was killed in the serial, with Jonathan Groff graduating to films.
In “Glee”, Jonathan Groff stars opposite Lea Michele, with whom he has been working with since the year 2006 in the Broadway musical “Spring Awakening”. It was evident at the Hollywood premiere of “Glee” that the two actors Jonathan Groff and Lea Michele are very comfortable in each other’s company. They were hardly seen leaving each other’s sides throughout the event.
The openly gay actor will feature on “Glee” in five to six episodes as the lead male singer in the group “Vocal Adrenaline”. His character also plays the love interest in Lea Michele’s character Rachael’s life. In an interview Jonathan Groff describes his character as a very ambitious boy who is very sure of the fact that he is a born star. His character is not very trustworthy though as he is a member of one of Rachel’s rival bands.
Jonathan Groff has given some wonderful performances in the past, as in Ang Lee’s film “Taking Woodstock”. The actor was also nominated for the Tony award for his role of a futuristic boy in the “Spring Awakening” where he plays the love interest of the character played by Lea Michele.
