Andrew Rannells

What I want to applaud in Andrew Rannells is his persistence across both stage and screen. Originating Elder Kevin Price in The Book of Mormon vaulted him into the spotlight, earning a Tony nomination and a Grammy, no small feat. Knowing he grew up in Omaha, Nebraska makes the picture vivid: a kid who chased the dream all the way to New York on sheer will. He sings, dances, acts, and does voice work, with that theater-forged foundation paying off in every direction. He clawed his way into the light entirely on his own merit, and that shine is exactly what I admire.
