Is it because he's gay and out? He is a superior actor. And very easy on the eye.
Why isn't Jonathan Groff a bigger star? He could be up there with Matt and Leo at his age.

He's in theater, not films. If we still had game shows in daytime, he'd be the Phyllis Newman or Bert Convy of this era. People outsode of NY would wonder why he was famous.

To be honest he's not super talented or versatile.

Yes, he would be bigger if he were straight. He almost reminds me of a young Ryan O'Neal, very good-looking.

He needs a blockbuster. But he is still young. Looking forward to Little Shop of Horrors in the meantime. He’s a hard worker.

He's already gone full-frontal on camera, and I think he might have played a straight guy in that film. He's very cute.

He's good on film. Not theatrical as most actors coming out of the theater often are. Yes, he needs a major break. He's 34.

MindHunter WAS his biggest break. He's 34, he should have gotten film offers then. He's getting a little too old...

Mindhunter has been a pretty good break for him--I think people know who he is now.

How he even got this far amazes me. Lackluster actor, that is right up there with the likes of the unwatchable Steve Guttenberg.

The correct answer is that he would be bigger if he weren't effeminate. Masculine gay actors closeted or not do just fine.

I thought he was great in the tv series and movie........looking.....................but even tho he cant play straight romantic leads on film because he is an out gay he still manages to find work. He is doing a tv series now where he plays an fbi agent. There is a reason good looking younger gay actors dont come out.....they simply wont get cast for mainstreet major films in a lead role. Deny that if you want but it is still true today.

The thing is, he is openly gay. When he took off his clothes and played a love scene with a woman in MH, it just didn't seem right. All I thought was how uncomfortable he looked.

Really r17? You sure you're not projecting your discomfort? It didn't strike me differently from any other sex scene when I saw his in MH.

Sure, he has far more on-screen chemistry with his male co-stars in Mindhunter and the gleam in his eye often gives him away, but he's not especially prissy or flaming.

He has childbearing hips. His ass is bigger than the woman who plays his gf in Mindhunter. Very sexy guy. Likeable face. Hope he gets a huge break soon.

His priorities are totally different from regular celebs. Usually a very private person but he has recently officially said that he has a BF. May be he is content with his life now...

Just a point but Matt & Leo are 10+ years older than him. He has time to do more. But yes...most gay out actors would have bigger careers if they were straight or closeted. There is a reason some A-listers are still closeted.

He has talent but no presence on camera. That’s the problem. He’s a man whose talent was built for the stage, which is why he’s a star in the theatre world but barely even looked at in the film world. On stage he’s exciting, his performances are filled with energy. In everything I’ve ever seen him in as far as TV and movies go he has all the screen presence of a wet paper bag and his performance has the energy of a narcoleptic. The only time I’ve ever seen him give a performance on screen that didn’t put me to sleep was when he was singing on Glee. Not acting. Singing. Which make sense, because like I said, his talent is built for musical theatre and not much else.

R40 Yes, I have, and his performance put me to sleep. This is coming from a guy who loves historical crime dramas and a guy who is a big Fincher fan. He was by far the worst part.
Not to mention there’s no way a guy who pings like that would hold a respected position at an investigative agency back then.

R39 tell it to Ang Lee, Robert Redford, David Fincher and the other successful & brilliant directors who have praised his work with them profusely (and who in Fincher’s case hand-picked him to star in his series) and probably have a bit more taste about what constitutes “screen presence” than uou do, my dear

I think he does not have a bigger career bc most actors his age play either romantic heroes (romcoms) or action/superhero roles. Groff would not be very convincing in a romantic comedy and he's definitely not an action movie star. He could probably have Ryan Gosling's career if he was straight.
