Jonathan talks about the joy of being in a successful revival of Merrily, about splitting his pants and about how acting was therapy for him when he was still in the closet.

Interviews mentioning Jonathan in the May 2024 issue of SFX magazine about Doctor Who

Interview with Russell T Davies, Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson (who had been off exploring the set while Ncuti was filming

NG: [Laugh­ing] I’ve got my own castle! That one was so much fun for me. I had all my scenes with Jonathan [Groff ] and what a won­der­ful energy to sweep through our show and a won­der­ful voice as well. It stands out. He’s such a deep actor.

MG: [Bran­dish­ing phone] Sorry, that’s it… [Shows photo of her in full cos­tume, in sunglasses, by a foun­tain sur­roun­ded by green­ery] I’m in my own fairy tale…

RTD: Can we have the cover of SFX with that? [Mil­lie and Ncuti are fall­ing about laugh­ing]

MG: I was throw­ing pebbles… This is what I was doing when you were work­ing with Jonathan.

You were doing night shoots and Ncuti was at Bey­oncé with Jonathan…

[Ncuti howls with laughter]

MG: How the other half live. I was cov­er­ing for Ncuti so he could live his Bey­oncé dream.

NG: Jonathan took me to Beyoncé, yes. [Laughs] That was amazing. He had that in his contract. [Bursts out laughing again] Incredible. Incredible.

Interview with Ben Chessell, the Australian director of Jonathan’s episode Rogue

What was Jonathan Groff like?

As a dir­ector, I work with lots of fam­ous act­ors, and a lot of my friends are act­ors. I don’t really get star­struck, but I was slightly star­struck by Jonathan Groff. He’s worked with David Fincher. God, I’m dir­ect­ing someone who’s dir­ec­ted by Fincher. All the time he’s got to be stand­ing there think­ing, “This guy’s not as good as Fincher.”

But he was so sweet and so delight­ful. Again, you don’t know what to expect. You try to go in with an open mind, but there are some Amer­ican act­ors who stand on cere­mony and expect a cer­tain kind of form­al­ity on a set, and Jonathan couldn’t have been less like that.

After more than 30 years in Los Angeles, Alfred Molina is enjoying his newly minted status as an Upper West Sider.

“My wife and I have bought an apartment here, and we’re slowly transitioning to New York,” he said last month at Lincoln Center Theater before a rehearsal for the Chekhov classic “Uncle Vanya,” which opens on Broadway on Wednesday.

Molina, who is originally from London, shared his favorite walk in New York, why he loves the subway, and a Jonathan Groff-inspired song lyric that he came up with seemingly on the spot. These are edited excerpts from the conversation.

Jonathan Groff

A friend for life who introduced me to my wife. Now there’s a lyric for you! I’ve seen him three times in “Merrily We Roll Along,” and each time he was brilliant.

The cast is wild, and very queer. What’s it like working with Jinkx Monsoon and Jonathan Groff?

Incredible, incredible. They brought such depth, talent and creativity. I mean, Jinkx is playing a super villain and one of the most powerful that the Doctor has ever faced. She filled that role with such theatrical energy, it was incredible. She had just come off Broadway. How she was using her voice, body, all the tools in her acting toolkit… It was incredible to see that energy lock on in a camera space. For me, as a theatre actor, I was like, ‘This is just really, really, really great to see someone’s craft so finely tuned and placed so well in this space.’ She is a formidable foe character-wise, and also just a great actor to learn from.

Jonathan Groff brought something to the show that I don’t think we’ve seen in a long time, which will make sense when it’s released. But yeah, it definitely brings out a new side to the Doctor. It was really nice to see the Doctor vulnerable. Jonathan is so talented. He has such an ease to him and is such a kind, kind, kind person anyway. Seeing the world enriched with these incredible queer performers, bringing elements of themselves to the table, was amazing. The world which Russell’s creating is so perfect

According to Ncuti Gatwa, Jonathan Groff plays a character in Rogue, the sixth episode of the upcoming series, who brings out the vulnerable side the Doctor.

“Jonathan Groff brought something to the show that I don’t think we’ve seen in a long time, which will make sense when it’s released. But yeah, it definitely brings out a new side to the Doctor. It was really nice to see the Doctor vulnerable.”

He pats his shaved head as he enters, explaining that he had to undergo the haircut for the [Looking] finale in a scene that was, “cathartic for both me and the character.” He has since been reacquainting himself with woolly hats. Winq Magazine

Jonathan is referenced in an episode of ‘Night Court’ by Richard Kind’s character, a Broadway producer, in between references to Lin-Manuel Miranda and Stephen Sondheim. TikTok from @ufjfur03.
