I love doing both theater and television. I definitely foresee more Broadway, but I think I would like to keep the singing and the TV separate.

As an actor, you generally don’t get to choose what projects you are part of, so I’ve been very fortunate that The Book of Mormon was something I got to be part of. I don’t want to be lofty, but it was groundbreaking, in many ways, for musical theater, so that was really thrilling to be part of.

So much of being an actor is trying to force yourself into these roles and sometimes it's a good fit, and sometimes it's not a good fit... you have to get clear about what it is that you do and not try to be a bunch of other people. Not try to be that guy or try to play that part find the roles that you do well.

I think Girls is so great, because versions of it are close to my own experience of moving to New York. It's a fun.
