Isn't it the "performance," not the role that wins Tonys?

None. That's a tad bit sad.

Cogsworth in "Beauty and the Beast"
Britt Craig in "Parade"
Christopher Belling in "Curtains"
Henry in "The Fantasticks"- off Broadway, of course
Charlie Brown in "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown"

You'd think some actor could've nabbed a Tony in one of those roles. Such fun roles.

Wait, so if one plays a tony award winning role does that mean that they've won a tony by association?

Though they were Tony nominated roles:

Hysterium in Forum
Samovar in Hollywood/Ukraine

I'd love to do Hollywood/Ukraine again. Such a delightful show and I had no idea how much I would enjoy doing a Groucho Marx impersonation. I actually won an award for it and it got me other jobs as well.

True, it wasn't the Tony. It's all he could afford on a teacher's salary.

Thenardier in Les Miserables
Jake in Side Show
Bernardo in West Side Story
Don Lockwood in Singin' In The Rain

...I mean those are some meaty parts. You'd think someone would have at least been nominated for a Tony for one of those parts. I guess it all depends on the season.

EDIT: Just kidding, I guess Don Correia was nominated for Singin' in the Rain in '86. Cool.

Finch in How to Succeed... is the only winning one. But I've also played Victor in Smokey Joe's Cafe, which was nominated.

I've done 33 shows, but only one Tony-award winning role: Miss Hannigan in Annie (Tony for Dorothy Loudon.)

I did play the Wicked Witch of the West... does that count as playing the "Tony Award winning role" of Elphaba?

In terms of Tony-NOMINATED roles, I also played Bert in a terrible illegal production of Mary Poppins when I was ten. There were only two boys in the cast. I can't say I was anywhere near as good as Gavin Lee, but my Cockney accent was much better than Dick Van Dyke's.
