Danny Burstein

Danny Burstein embodies the lifelong New York theatre actor I find easy to root for. Trained at LaGuardia High School and UC San Diego, he's gathered a Tony, a Drama League Award, two Drama Desk Awards and four Grammy nominations along the way. What I admire most is the persistence behind those accolades: a performer nominated again and again who kept showing up on stage rather than chasing easier wins. Actors with long stretches of grind tend to deliver the deepest emotional moments, almost out of nowhere. Burstein strikes me as exactly that kind of generous, durable Broadway craftsman.
