Ben Platt is quickly becoming a household name thanks to his award-worthy work on shows like The Politician and his special Ben Platt Live From Radio City Music Hall, but Benâs first love is theater. The actor even won a Tony for his lead role in Dear Evan Hansen.
Unfortunately, Broadway has announced itâll remain closed through the remainder of 2020 at the very least so Ben is currently focused on film and TV jobs.
"Right at this moment, Iâm definitely hankering to have live experiences, to be back on stage and in the theater," he told Deadline. "Iâm looking at film offers and scripts, but once itâs possible, Iâm certainly looking to get back on stage. I try to take each project that comes my way at face value regardless of the medium and decide if itâs something that is kind of uncharted territory for me."
Until then, you can stream season 2 of The Politician and Benâs Radio City special on Netflix.
