And the Tony Award goes to… Ben Platt!
Ben Platt, a.k.a Benji in the Pitch Perfect movies, is a Tony award winner. He won Leading Actor in a Musical at the 2017 Tony Awards for his role in the Broadway hit Dear Evan Hansen.
“I want to thank my parents, who are my heroes, Julie Platt and Marc Platt, the greatest people I’ve ever met. Everybody always says that about their parents, but it’s true, I will fight you. They are the best people in the world. Dad, you’re my hero, you taught me that you have to be a decent human being to be a decent artist, and I love you for it. And finally to all young people watching at home, don’t waste any time trying to be like anybody but yourself because the things that make you strange are the things that make you powerful. Thank you.” Source: nytimes.com
Congratulations Ben!
