Jonathan Groff - why so much of him lately?

OK - I saw JG in Spring Awakening and enjoyed his performance and singing very much (even with the massive amounts of spit spraying from his mouth on every song - LOL). good looking, nice voice, good actor. fine.

But, he seems to be cast in something new about every 2 months. I haven't had the chance to see him in any of his post-SprAw work. Is all this casting really justified or is he just the flavor of the month riding the wave?

where are you?

He likes to work?

1. Because he's a very good working-actor
2. Emphasis on "working"

I think Jonathan Groff is more charming than talented. That said, I am happy for his success.

Great that he's working so much. He is charming, I could watch him over and over.

I have much respect for Jonathan for really devoting himself to crafting his art as an actor in off-Broadway theatr. He brought multiple levels to his recent performance in the Singing Forest, a three act play, and raised the reality level of his character in a highly effective way it what was essentially a non-real situational play. As for the nudity, well, the last two plays he performed in were written by the definitively gay playwright Craig Lucas, who wrote in those scenes. I suspect that most aspiring actors of Jonathan's age would drop their clothes off promptly in order to find work today in legitimate theatre.
