Nice Boy of the Week: Matthew Morrison

As Glee continues to make us hum, get up and dance and all around delight us, the Nice Girls have been completely taken in by Will Schuester, played by the fabulous Matthew Morrison. So, while we still have “Maybe This Time” roaming around in our brains, we are adding Matthew to our Nice Boys Wall of Fame.

Oddly enough, Matthew has had a dose of Nice Girls, in a very round-about way, when he played ‘Brody’ in the very short-lived, Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office. Before this, however, Matthew began his career on the stage in broadway musicals such as Footloose and a revival of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Dear God, please let there be a Timewarp scene on Glee! Matthew got his break, though, when he landed the part of Link Larkin in Broadway’s Hairspray.

His television credits include Hack, Sex and the City and As the World Turns. He landed small parts in films such as Marci X, Encino Man, Primary Colors, and Simply Funk, finally appearing in Once Upon A Mattress, with Carol Burnett and Tracey Ullman, Dan In Real Life and Music and Lyrics.

Just before coming to do the pilot for Glee, Matthew was playing Lt. Cable in the Lincoln Center’s production of South Pacific. Glee exploded on our televisions screens and we can’t get enough. Oh, and we kind of like Matthew as well.
