You all know who he is: evil genius, giant brain! Sofia chats with the FABULOUS Wesley Taylor (The Addams Family, Rock of Ages, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical, “The Indoor Boys”, “It Could Be Worse”, Smash)!!! Already a seasoned Broadway veteran at the age of 32, Wes made his Broadway debut as comedic German city developer Franz in Rock of Ages, bringing the house down with his rendition of “Hit Me with Your Best Shot”, and went on to originate the role of Lucas Beneike in The Addams Family. He has also starred as the Emcee in Cabaret, God in An Act of God, Tales of the City and Little Miss Sunshine. Wes is the creator and star of the critically-acclaimed web-series “It Could Be Worse” and “Billy Green”, and has more recently co-written, directed and starred in the web-series “The Indoor Boys” alongside Alex Wyse. He is also a published playwright, and his work has been featured at the The Artists’ Exchange, the LGBT Center, the Manhattan Repertory Theatre and New World Stages for The Actor’s Fund. On television, Wes has been featured as chorus member Bobby in NBC’s Smash,The Good Wife, Tomorrow People, One Life to Live, I’m Dying up Here, Difficult People and Looking. Wes most recently starred as the iconic protozoan super-villain Sheldon J. Plankton in SpongeBob Squarepants: The Broadway Musical. He is now set to star as the Mad Hatter in the new musical Alice by Heart, written by the creators of Waitress and Spring Awakening. Wes and I discuss his experience portraying the Emcee and Plankton in SpongeBob SquarePants, writing and filming “The Indoor Boys” and “It Could Be Worse”, the madness of auditioning and more! He has taken on so many different roles as an actor, writer and director, and I loved talking with him about all of his experiences- the good, the bad and the kooky. Go see Wes star as the Mad Hatter in Alice by Heart this coming January!
