What's on the horizon for his career now? Any news?
It looks like Hollywood is largely in play right now, but any future developments for Broadway?
I thought he was super in American Psycho.
What is the general consensus (or personal opinions) on his acting chops, and his voice for those who have seen him on Broadway?

I haven't seen him on Broadway but I liked him in the movie Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. Period pieces fits him well.

I'd like to see him do something comedic again. I loved his "Find the Funny" shows.

According to his IMBD page, http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0907548/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 , he has three more films he's completed.

I know he did the first reading of Magic Mike the Musical so if he came back to that project, I wouldn't mind. For those who saw American Psycho, we already got a glimpse of his body.

Not sure how much longer Hollywood will be on the horizon: "Abraham Lincoln..." lost a ton of money, and received horrid reviews... "In the Heart of the Ocean" was a rare Ron Howard misfire, losing big money. (though he wasn't marketed heavily in it) And he starred in what was the least successful Nicholas Sparks adaptation, "The Choice." He'll likely be back on stage more often... (a good thing!)

A glimpse? I think we got a little more than a glimpse!

LOL- His body was nice, but he'd have to gain mass if he was going to be in magic mike. He's pretty tall and thin, tho ripped!

I too am upset that this brilliant show closed so soon. He gave a great performance. Do you think this show would have had a longer life had they cast a celebrity in it? someone like Jake Gyllenhall perhaps?

I don't think the flops he was in rest squarely on his shoulders. I don't think we'll see him on stage for quite some time. He's very charismatic and a great actor. He poured 125% into AP and it crashed and burned. He makes way more in film.
I think his singing voice is gorgeous.

He has the looks of a perfect Billy Bigelow. Bartlett Sher, paging Bartlett Sher!

I've seen him in an as yet unreleased film called "Shimmer Lake"...he's the lead in a very FARGO-like movie. It will probably be released theatrically or direct to video in the next nine months or so.
