BIO
Bashoff started acting at the age of 10, working primarily in commercials, and then singing and dancing in film and theater.
Bashoff appeared in Bushwhacked, Big Bully (for which he won a Young Artist Award), and The New Swiss Family Robinson in 1998. After taking a break from acting, he received a recurring role on Judging Amy, playing the character of Eric Black, an abused gay teenager. He has since appeared in Deuces Wild and Minority Report, and has a minor recurring role in One Tree Hill. In October 2006, he landed a recurring role as Karl in the television series Lost, then in its third season.
On December 18, 2007, Bashoff made his Broadway debut, replacing John Gallagher Jr. as the role of Moritz Stiefel in the Tony Award-winning musical Spring Awakening. He will reprise his role as Moritz on the first National Tour of Spring Awakening with current co-star Kyle Riabko. Bashoff's last Broadway performance was August 2nd, 2008 and was replaced by former ensemble member and Moritz understudy Gerard Canonico.
Bashoff also appears in the film Together Again for the First Time, scheduled for release in 2008, which stars David Ogden Stiers and Julia Duffy.

Spring Awakening: The Bitch of Aging
National tour of Tony Award-winning musical about the emergence of teenage sexuality may not fully satisfy an older audience but unquestionably sings to today's younger generation by injecting a contemporary pop/rock sensibility into a repressed Victorian Era story

Review: 'Spring Awakening - Tour'
Arriving in Toronto the day before spring, the Tony winning musical Spring Awakening will please the devoted coterie of fans, but those familiar with Frank Wedekind's original play will find the musical adaptation is decidedly inferior. * * * (out of 5)

Talking with 'Spring Awakening's' Blake Bashoff
Blake Bashoff misses having normal hair. Hes been playing the lovable, desperate, hairstyle-challenged Moritz in the hit show Spring Awakening for over a year, first with the Broadway company and currently with the first touring production of the show. The role of Moritz is a meaty, emotional tour de force for an actor, but it also means that Bashoff must go through not one, but two extreme hairstyles over the course of the musical?s two acts. And though Bashoff loves so many things about Moritz, he probably wishes that shampoo and conditioner were invented in late nineteenth century Germany.

Spring Awakening Tour Review: Cleveland
To create a touring production of a Broadway hit, the production team usually has to scale down large sets, trim the corners and sometimes cut down the cast. With the ?Spring Awakening? touring production, it was just the opposite: the show would have to be made bigger. Gone would be the cozy feel of The Eugene O?Neill Theater, replaced with larger two-and-three tiered touring houses with bigger stages, and as a result the set would have to be expanded, creating more of an imposing feel than the original classroom did. But, more than any logistical problems, the question became this: Would ?Spring Awakening? even be viable as a touring show?
