Even though he’ll be celebrating his 38th birthday on Feb. 27, Josh Groban has got rock-solid singing credentials to his name dating back to when producer David Foster asked the then 17-year-old Los Angeleno to stand in for an ailing Andrea Bocelli opposite Celine Dion during a rehearsal for Foster’s “The Prayer” that was going to be performed at the 1999 Grammy Awards that night.
Never miss a story
Since then, he’s not only shared stages with Sarah Brightman, Sting and Paul Simon, but carved out an acting career for himself that went from David E. Kelley creating a role for him on the final season of Ally McBeal to playing Andy Bernard’s brother in a couple of episodes of The Office.
With a Tony Award-nominated stint on Broadway in Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 under his belt, Groban was more than happy to share who some of his favorite singing actors are.
