On today's episode, I talk to Tony Award-winning actor and
musician Michael Cerveris. Originally from Huntington, West
Virginia, Michael got his start acting in the early '80s downtown
scene, and his career has flourished from there. As a theater
actor, he's won two Tony Awards, one for playing John Wilkes Booth
in Stephen Sondheim’s Assassins and the second for his role in Fun
Home. Beyond the official accolades though, he's acted in
dozens of productions including Hedwig And The Angry Inch. As
a TV and film actor, he's had recurring roles in shows like
Mindhunter, Gotham, The Tick, The Good Wife, Treme and Fringe, as
well as many other roles. And as a musician, he's been working
professionally ever since he backed Bob Mould on his Last Dog And
Pony Show tour in 1998. Michael's first solo album was released in
2004, but for the last eight years, he's been writing and recording
with Kimberly Kaye under the moniker Loose Cattle, and their first
official album Heavy Lifting is out now, wherever you get your
records from!
