Reflections from Matt Bogart on the Many Roles He Has Played!
February 1st, 2013Broadway.com’s Kathy Henderson has a fabulous interview with JERSEY BOYS Broadway’s Matt Bogart, who plays Nick Massi. Matt chats about the many roles he has played in his career–from tough guys, to lovers, to fighters, and more. Here’s a preview:
Role That Makes Me Feel Like Rock Star Patrick Swayze: “Every time I come out of the stage door at Jersey Boys, someone says, ‘Has anyone ever told you that you look like Patrick Swayze?’ I sign two more autographs down the line, and someone else says, ‘Know who you look like? Patrick Swayze!’ I take it as a compliment—I think it’s the suits we wear. Nick [Massi] is the most ambiguous [of the Four Seasons], and I’ve been given room to explore and take the role to the next step. In the four and a half years I’ve been here, my wife [actress Jessica Boevers Bogart] and I have had two kids, I sent her to grad school at NYU for theater education, and we bought and renovated an apartment. Those are some big accomplishments, and I’m very grateful to have had a long run in a show that’s so satisfying to perform and that audiences love so much.â€
