Jonathan Groff is all smiles while hitting the blue carpet at the premiere of his latest film Looking held during the 2016 Frameline40 Film Festival at Castro Theatre on Sunday (June 26) in San Francisco, Calif.

Russell Tovey poses on the carpet while attending the opening night after party for the new Broadway production of A View From the Bridge on Thursday (November 12) at Guastavino’s restaurant in New York City.

The 33-year-old British actor, who is best known for his role on HBO’s Looking, was joined by his co-stars Mark Strong, Phoebe Fox, Nicola Walker, and more.

Russell revealed to Billboard that he makes his singing debut in the play.

“I’ve never been paid to sing. I’ve sung on a karaoke stage. A lot. But have I sung where someone’s been giving me a wage? No,” Russell said. “Well, actually, we sang a tiny bit in The History Boys, didn’t we? We had kind of like, ‘Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye’ songs, with a little bit of a routine. But this is… I mean, ['Paper Doll'] is only like five lines, and then my character gets cut off. But, it’s a nice five lines, and it kind of comes out of nowhere. So, yeah, it’s been fun.”
