From Screen to Stage: Get to Know the Roles of Armie Hammer!

Armie Hammer is back on Broadway in 2020. Following his debut in 2018's Straight White Men, the stage and screen star returns this season in Tracy Letts' The Minutes.

With The Minutes, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tracy Letts and Tony-winning director Anna D. Shapiro return to Broadway together for the first time since their Tony-winning sensation August: Osage County. The record-breaking hit production from Steppenwolf Theatre Company takes a look at the inner-workings of a city council meeting in the small town of Big Cherry-and the hypocrisy, greed, and ambition that follow. "Nothing in this explosive 90-minute play is as it seems...A real-life heart-in-the-mouth experience," declares the Chicago Tribune. This powerful, resonant, and funny portrayal of democracy in action proves that everything you know can change-it's just a matter of minutes. After all, the smallest towns keep the biggest secrets.

As we await his big return to the stage, we're looking back at some of our favorite Armie roles!
