Matthew J. Morrison's first big break came in 2004, when he played a busboy in an episode of Sex and the City. Before that, he primarily worked on Broadway, originating the role of Link Larkin in Hairspray and earning a Tony nomination for his work in The Light in the Piazza. He'd go on to make a number of other guest appearances on shows like Law & Order and CSI: Miami, and even took on a recurring role, playing Adam Munson on As the World Turns for much of 2006. In 2009, Morrison took on a starring role, playing Will Scheuster in the series Glee. He gained massive exposure from the hugely popular show, and henceforth became a well known face, as well as voice, releasing studio albums as a signer and entertaining a career on Broadway. Surprisingly, he hasn't tried to parlay his success into movies, with only a supporting role in What to Expect When You're Expecting (2012) under his belt since Glee premiered.
