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.
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.
