Cheyenne Jackson stars in "Glee" in a recurring role as the new Vocal Adrenaline coach. He also appears on NBC's "30 Rock" as Danny Baker.
Cheyenne Jackson grew up on the rural Idaho-Washington border, and later honed his acting craft in Seattle's thriving theatre community. In June 2002, he moved to New York City, and within a few weeks made his Broadway debut understudying both male leads in the Tony Award winning musical "Thoroughly Modern Millie." He later served as the standby for the character
His big break came in the fall of 2004 when Miramax producers asked him to leave "Altar Boyz," and originate his first Broadway leading role in "All Shook Up." His performance as Chad earned him much critical praise, the Theatre World Award, as well as nominations from the Drama League and Outer Critics Circle for Outstanding Lead Actor.
In 2005, Jackson made his film debut in the taut and edgy film "Curiosity"—which was the surprise hit of the Palm Springs International Short-Film Festival.
In 2006, Cheyenne portrayed Mark Bingham in Universal Pictures Academy Award nominated film, "United 93," directed by British film maker Paul Greengrass ("Bloody Sunday," "The Bourne Supremacy"). He also starred off-Broadway in playwright Nicky Silver's "The Agony and The Agony" with Victoria Clark.
In 2007, Cheyenne returned to Broadway as Sonny Malone in the critical and box office hit "Xanadu." His performance earned nominations from the Drama League and Drama Desk for Outstanding Lead Actor. Additionally, he portrayed Sebastian Kinglare for the Sony/Lifetime Television pilot "Family Practice" and completed production on the feature film "Hysteria."
In 2008, Cheyenne starred as Joe Hardy in the New York City Center production of "Damn Yankees," opposite Jane Krakowski and Sean Hayes. He also guest starred on NBC's "Lipstick Jungle" and recorded the cast album of "Red Eye of Love." The same year he was named Out Magazine's Entertainer of the Year.
In 2009, Cheyenne made his Cabaret debut with his sold out one man show, "Back to the Start" at Feinstein's nightclub in New York. His second sold out engagement was the critically acclaimed follow up show "The Power of Two" with Michael Feinstein. "The Power of Two" was hailed by the New York Times as "passionate," "impeccably harmonized" and "groundbreaking." Michael and Cheyenne would go on to release "The Power of Two" on Harbinger Records. In 2010 Cheyenne starred as Woody Mahoney in both the New York City Center's, and the Broadway revival of "Finian's Rainbow."
In 2010 Cheyenne joined the cast of "30 Rock" as Danny Baker. He has guest starred on several television series including "Life on Mars," "Ugly Betty," and "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
