He wrote: “Being a part of the Hangmen ensemble has just been a phenomenal experience and I share this nomination with all of the cast with whom I share the stage each night. The role of Mooney is written by the brilliant Martin McDonagh with so many layers, and I am so grateful to both Martin and Matthew Dunster for guiding my performance with such grace and skill. I know this year has been full of challenges and it gives me so much pride to be part of the returning season of Broadway shows after what was far too long a hiatus. I’m so grateful to be recognized by the American Theatre Wing and the Broadway League. Thank you!”
