One of the best things about theatre actors is their triple-threat versatility. But with their ability to jump seamlessly between the stage and the screen, maybe we should call it their quadruple-, or even quintuple-threat talent.
Whether it be silver screen giants -- those repeat award-winners such as Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Judi Dench and Helen Mirren - or greener talents like Kerry Washington and Jim Parsons -- we're rooting for all of our Broadway babies this awards season.
The 71st AnnuAl Golden Globe Awards, hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, air tonight, January 12 on NBC, and BroadwayWorld has rounded up this year's Broadway alums. Learn more about the stars below, and be sure to let us know your picks!
