I first discovered the work of actor, singer and model Jonathan D. Lovitz close to two years ago when I was researching the work of another actor. That research took me to a review of The American Stage production of Altar Boyz in Tampa. Jonathan stood out in the cast shots I saw and I went looking for more. Jonathan has an extensive stage resume and when I contacted him about a profile he could not have been nicer.
Jonathan is one of those actors who exudes positive energy that effects those around him. His smile, which I am sure will be mentioned whenever he is written about, is without a doubt contagious. A did a short post earlier this year of Jonathan's performance in The Lonely Goatherd for Broadway Bares Classics at Splash. (see that post HERE:)
I have followed Jonathan's career since and all of his hard work has led to some exciting projects. First off Jonathan just launched his official website which include tons of info and and extensive picture gallery. Some of my favorite shots of Jonathan, including all of those included in this post are by the brilliant Thomas Synnamon.
Jonathan is also a part of Setup Squad premiering this April on Logo.
'No-nonsense Renee Lee has the business solution for people who stink at dating: she hooks them up with professional "wing" women and men from her agency. From the producers of "Pawn Stars," "Setup Squad" is a docu-reality series where relationship misfits get saved from themselves by experts who coach them in 'the art of the pickup.' The "wing" women and men are snappy and sexy: two straight women, a lesbian, and a gay man (hunky Broadway star, Jonathan D. Lovitz) - all fierce and fun and full of opinions about their ineffectual clients. They give clients a crash dating makeover, transforming them from 'shabby & shy' to 'chic & confident'. Then they provide a real shot at love, breaking the ice for them in social settings. Then the real dramas unfold. Will they land the deal? Or get snubbed by their intended target? And what happens when one of the experts gets a little too cozy with their client? Find out in this highly charged reality series combining the most sizzling parts of dating shows with the most electric elements of workplace dramas.'
It's all coming together!
