He has performed in many stage musicals and plays, including several Stephen Sondheim musicals: Assassins, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Sunday in the Park with George, Road Show, and Passion. In 2004, Cerveris won the Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical for Assassins as John Wilkes Booth. In 2015, he won his second Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for Fun Home as Bruce Bechdel. He was called, by Playbill, "arguably the most versatile leading man on Broadway", playing roles from "Shakespeare's Romeo to The Who's Tommy, from the German transsexual rock diva Hedwig in Hedwig and the Angry Inch to the homicidal title character of Sondheim's Sweeney Todd." Cerveris' most visible television roles to date have included Deputy Director Ted Gunn in David Fincher's Mindhunter for Netflix, Watson, valet to George Russell, in Julian Fellowes' The Gilded Age for HBO, and the Observer code-named September in the FOX science fiction television series Fringe. His character, a mysterious man seen attending many unusual events, appeared regularly during the series and became one of the main characters to bring the story to its end. (Via Wikipedia)
