Though the 39 year old actor and self proclaimed &#8220;Broadway Baby&#8221; came to fame via musicals like &#8220;All Shook Up&#8221; (Theater World Award, 2005) and &#8220;Xanadu&#8221; (Drama Desk nomination 2008) and promises to return, TV and film came calling soon thereafter and appear to have stuck. His most notable early filmed roles were as a heroic passenger in the Oscar-nominated true story <em>United 93<\/em>&nbsp;(2006) and a recurring gig on Emmy favorite&nbsp;<em>30 Rock <\/em>as Danny Baker, a singing actor with a voice so beautiful he gave <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/i9oorQwq8bY?t=12s\" target=\"_blank\">Jenna Maroney &#8220;rage strokes.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/towleroad.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d8341c730253ef01bb07c32d52970d-pi\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Loveisstrange-policemen\" src=\"http:\/\/towleroad.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d8341c730253ef01bb07c32d52970d-200wi\" title=\"Loveisstrange-policemen\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That first flush of mainstream success seemed to have been briefly eclipsed in the media by upheavals in his personal life, a divorce from his first husband and sobering up.

I was 27 so when I did throw myself into it I was really gravitating towards certain parts, certain characters, certain personalities and really Gena for some reason I just always always always loved. It started with <em>Gloria<\/em>, then <em>A Woman Under the Influence<\/em>. And <em>Opening Night<\/em> of course because all things Broadway.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And then I read the script and I saw that I had to be horrible to her and <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">call<\/a> her a &#8220;stupid old cow&#8221; within five minutes.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span>I hated you in that moment and I&#8217;m a fan.

I got there and she was so gracious. I said &lsquo;Listen, I just gotta get all this stuff out of the way Miss Rowlands&#8230;&#8217; And she said<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Oh, please.

I&#8217;ve shot three more since this film and I know how they come together &#8211; it&rsquo;s a big puzzle.

I mean, I haven&rsquo;t taken dance lessons except for tap when I was in &ldquo;Millie&rdquo;. But I have been in a bunch of Broadway shows and I can fake it really well. I&nbsp; knew in some aspects I had an advantage there in terms of confidence. Kay Cole is our choreographer [the original Maggie in &#8220;A Chorus Line&#8221;] &#8212; she&#8217;s an amazing, powerful <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">woman<\/a>. I had to learn the steps but also so much of the exposition, the history of the dances, all while teaching them to Gena.<\/p>\n<p>The dances, where they&rsquo;re placed in the movie&hellip; it isn&rsquo;t arbitrary. The cha-cha is first, not too personal, and then the tango and then the waltz as it gets more personal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Rita Moreno, a bonafide musical legend, is also in it. But you didn&#8217;t have scenes with her!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>She was in Budapest so she was there &#8212; I had met her before around New York. She can still kick! I was hoping we&rsquo;d have some stuff together.<\/p>\n<p><span><strong>But you got to work with another Oscar favorite, Jacki Weaver.

We became mother\/son, brother\/sister, best friend\/life partners really towards the end. We discussed where we were emotionally before every scene in terms of how comfortable [the characters were] because in life we&rsquo;re really comfortable with each other. She&rsquo;s become a great friend but it was important that the very first scenes be very uncomfortable in order to&nbsp;have the pay off at the end where you see the gentleness and the care.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span>Your other film this year, LOVE IS STRANGE. arrived at a perfect time given the wave of marriage equality victories and I assume it was an affecting time for you, since you recently got married?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I did!<\/p>\n<p><strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/towleroad.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d8341c730253ef01b7c71ec51e970b-pi\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Unnamed\" src=\"http:\/\/towleroad.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d8341c730253ef01b7c71ec51e970b-500wi\" title=\"Unnamed\"><br \/><\/a>Groom &amp; Groom. via <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/p\/s-_yTlBFf5\/?modal=true\" target=\"_blank\">Cheyenne&#8217;s Instagram account<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> story I relate to in some way for obvious reasons.

The very first scene we shot was the scene right after their wedding when we&rsquo;re all sitting around and singing. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It was incredible.
