Stage and screen star Norm Lewis has established himself as one of Broadway’s leading men.

An Emmy, Grammy, Tony, and SAG Award nominee, Norm Lewis can currently be seen onstage starring in the national tour of the Tony Award-winning production of A Soldier’s Play. He recently portrayed Caiaphas in the award-winning NBC television special Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert! alongside John Legend, Sara Bareilles, and Alice Cooper.

Lewis received Tony, Drama Desk, Drama League, and Outer Critics Circle award nominations for his performance as Porgy in the Broadway production of The Gershwins’ Porgy & Bess. In May 2014, he made history as The Phantom of the Opera’s first African American Phantom on Broadway.

Other Broadway credits include Sondheim on Sondheim, The Little Mermaid, Les Misérables, Chicago, Amour, The Wild Party, Side Show, Miss Saigon, and The Who’s Tommy. In London’s West End he has appeared as Javert in Les Misérables and Les Misérables: The 25th Anniversary Concert, which aired on PBS.

Lewis appeared in the Broadway revival of Once on This Island and as Sweeney Todd in the Off-Broadway production of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street at the Barrow Street Theatre, receiving an AUDELCO Award for his performance.

Lewis also appears regularly on television and in films, including a starring role in Spike Lee’s critically acclaimed Da 5 Bloods, and in the groundbreaking FX series Pose. He can also be seen in ABC’s Women of The Movement and his voice can be heard in Apple TV’s animated series Central Park. Additional television credits include Dr. Death, Mrs. America, Better Things, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Bull, Chicago Med, Gotham, The Blacklist, and Blue Bloods, as well as in his recurring role as Senator Edison Davis on the hit drama Scandal.
