Biography[]

Jonathan Groff acted in Glee from 2010-2015 as Jesse St. James, though only appeared in 15 episodes. He later lent his voice to the Frozen franchise as Kristoff. He has also starred in the HBO comedy-drama Looking and the Netflix true crime series Mindhunter.

Groff first became involved with Hamilton during its Off-Broadway Production, replacing Brian d'Arcy James as King George III for the extension, as James had a prior commitment to the Broadway production of Something Rotten. Groff's performance was expected to be temporary, as it was believed he would be busy filming the third season of Looking by the time the show made it to Broadway, but Looking was cancelled following its second season, allowing Groff to be part of the original Broadway cast.
