Biography[]
Tveit is most broadly well-known for his role as Enjolras in Tom Hooper's feature adaptation of Les Miserables. However, he is primarily an award-winning Broadway star.
He has originated several iconic roles onstage, such as Gabe from cult classic Next to Normal; Frank Abignale Jr. in the adaptation of Catch Me If You Can; and Christian the Composer in the hit Moulin Rouge! The Musical. For which, he has won several accolades.
He has also been the Broadway replacement for other major roles, such as playing the eponymous protagonist "Sweeny Todd" in 2024 or as Fiyero from "Wicked".
Graceland was Tveit's first major role in the main cast of a television series, playing the ambitious and manipulative Mike Warren. But other roles on the small screen included the recurring love interest and villain, Trip van der Bilt in Gossip Girl.
