American actor Billy Magnussen’s career bridges stage, film, television, and music. Originally drawn to athletics, especially with his father and mother being a professional kickboxer and an aerobics instructor respectively, Magnussen’s introduction to acting was unplanned. A high school injury that strained his hamstring led him to a drama class. He graduated from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts and made his Broadway debut in 2007 with “The Ritz.”


Eventually, his performance on stage in “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike” earned him a Tony Award nomination. It was his role as Spike that also lead to his breakout film performance as Rapunzel’s Prince in Rob Marshall’s 2014 musical comedy “Into the Woods.” His on-screen career includes roles in major films such as “The Big Short (2015),” and Disney’s live-action adaptation “Aladdin (2019),” to television series including “The Leftovers (2014),” and “American Crime Story (2016).” Beyond acting, Magnussen is also a guitarist in the indie-rock band “Reserved for Rondee.”
