Aaron Tveit can sing, dance, act and, thusly, has definitely stolen our hearts. The "Les Miserables" actor will soon, well, grace the small screen on USA’s latest guilty pleasure, "Graceland," which kicks off Thursday. So, is there a better way to celebrate the show’s premiere than by naming Aaron this week’s Hump Day Hottie? We didn't think so.
Check out this dreamy photo of Aaron, and keep reading for more details about him!
Vital stats: Dreamy Aaron, 29, grew up in Middletown, NY, where he got an early taste for acting and musical theater. He eventually headed to Ithaca College, where he further cultivated his talents. Later on, he landed roles on the stage. His credits include “Rent,” “Hairspray,” “Catch Me If You Can,” “Wicked” and “Next To Normal.”
And, while we like to pride ourselves on being early adopters of our Hotties and their hotness, Aaron recently opened up to the New York Post about a BuzzFeed post that pays homage to his good looks.
"Yeah, somebody sent me that; I had no idea what it was. I clicked on it, got to about the first two things and immediately closed it," he said. “If anybody tells you they wouldn’t be flattered, they’re lying. It only means, on a base level, people are responding positively to the work that I’m doing. So for that, I’m utterly grateful.”
Is that not the most adorable response?
Where you might have already seen him: Hollywood eventually came calling, and he’s racked up roles on shows like “Law & Order: SVU,” “Ugly Betty,” “The Good Wife” and his recurring role on “Gossip Girl.” In the movie world, you might also know him as James Franco’s lover in “Howl” and, of course, from the 2012 big screen adaptation of “Les Miserables.”
Why you should take notice of him now: Now he’s ready to headline his own project, USA’s “Graceland.” The show follows a group of good-looking federal agents who live together in L.A. and try and take down the bad guys. Aaron plays the rookie in the house, dubbed "Graceland." The show is based on real-life events. And, if you ever wanted to see Aaron surf, this is your chance.
Until next week, when we choose another Hump Day Hottie, you can salute Aaron by gawking at the photo above!
