Sean Patrick Doyle

Sean Patrick Doyle is an actor and writer based in New York City. He originally hails from Miami, FL, where he began his professional stage career at the age of ten.

Best known for playing roller-skating lackey Garv in 20th Century Fox's The Sitter, opposite Jonah Hill and Sam Rockwell, Sean Patrick also provided singing vocals for Sir Ben Kingsley in Focus Features' Oscar-nominated stop-motion, The Boxtrolls.

On Broadway, he originated the role Chantal the Songbird in the Tony award-winning revival of La Cage Aux Folles, opposite Emmy-winner Kelsey Grammer and Tony-winner Douglas Hodge. He also appeared in the Tony-winning tuner Kinky Boots.

Off-Broadway, his work as Tremont/Angel Gabriel in Richard Thomas' subversive Jerry Springer: The Opera earned him a Lucille Lortel Nomination for Outstanding Featured Actor in a Musical. Other Off-Broadway appearances include the US premiere of Thomas' Anna Nicole: The Opera at BAM, directed by Tony-nominee Richard Jones, Ben Jonson's Jacobean farce Volpone, and Tarell McCraney's Wig Out!, under the direction of Tina Landau. In response to his performance as Loki in the latter, opposite Daniel T. Booth, Ben Brantley of the New York Times wrote, "To watch these two work the runway together is to enter a twilight zone where the natural laws of physics and biology seem to have melted and mutated."

He is known for his gender-bending portrayal of Fruma-Sarah in the North American tour of Fiddler on the Roof, breaking tradition as the first countertenor to play the role. Other touring credits include the North American tour of Mary Poppins, the Asian tour of Fame: the Musical and the Asian and European tours of West Side Story.
