Since graduating from Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Drama in 2012, Corey Cott has quickly established himself as a captivating actor on stage and screen.

Three months after earning his CMU degree, Cott earned the lead role of Jack Kelly in “Newsies,” leading the company for two years until its closing. Following “Newsies” he starred in the Broadway revival of “Gigi,” and has since earned critical acclaim for his performance in the Tony Award-winning musical “Bandstand.”

Cott is proving to be just as formidable an actor on television. He portrayed writer Townsend Martin in “Z: The Beginning of Everything,” an Amazon series about the life of Zelda Fitzgerald, and can be seen in a recurring role on “The Good Fight” on CBS All Access. He co-starred in the BBC miniseries “My Mother and Other Strangers,” which also aired on PBS, and was a series regular in the Amazon pilot “The Interestings.” He has guest starred on “Madam Secretary,” “Public Morals,” and “Law and Order: SVU.”

Cott is hitting the high notes on the concert stage. He made his solo concert debut at The Kennedy Center’s ASCAP Centennial Celebration, and starred in the National Symphony Orchestra’s “West Side Story in Concert.” He recently made his first Carnegie Hall appearance singing with the New York Pops.
