***I know there isn't actually such thing as an "Off-Broadway Actor" - there's just actors, many of whom work Off-Broadway, and sometimes other place. But I feel like people always talk about their favorite "Broadway Actors" and rarely talk about the people who primarily make their career Off-Broadway, and consistently put out strong work - especially at the non-profits. I'm not trying to pigeonhole anyone - many of these actors have done Broadway, and will surely do Broadway again, as well as regional stuff. I just want recognize some of the great acting work that happens in NY outside of Broadway!

Anyway, who are some of your favorites? Here are just a few of mine, in no particular order:

-Adina Verson (The Lucky Ones, Collective Rage, Indecent, and more!)

-Megan Hill (Do You Feel Anger, Eddie and Dave, Open)

-Zainab Jah (Eclipsed, Venus, School Girls, Boesman & Lena, etc.)

-James Seol (KPOP, Naatco's Henry VI, and i also saw him in Vietgone in San Francisco)

-Peter Friedman (The Treasurer, Beast in the Jungle, The Public's Hamlet)

-Ato Blankson-Wood (now a well-deserved Tony Nominee for Slave Play, but has been doing great work Off-Broadway for years)

-Quincy Tyler Bernstine (Marys Secole, Halfway Bitches, Small Mouth Sounds, many more!)

-Becca Blackwell (Promenade, Is this a room, Hurricane Diane)

-Kara Young (Halfway Bitches, All the Natalie Portmans)

Plus many of the Bedlam alums - Susannah Millonzi, Vaishnavi Sharma, Kate Hammill, Jason O'Connell

Hannah Cabel

Many of the performers in the Flux Theatre Ensemble

Many other people who aren't coming to mind this second

A few years ago, I would have said Julianne Nicholson, but of course she's no longer an OB performer

Elizabeth Marvel. Her Hedda in Ivo van Hove’s off broadway production was remarkable. Cannot wait for her Mary Tyrone off broadway this season.
