Billy Miller<\/a>, actor. Other credits<\/a> include “Justified”, “American Sniper”, and “The Rookie”.<\/p>\n

Michael McGrath<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He played three different parts in \u201cMonty Python\u2019s Spamalot,\u201d the hit 2005 musical based on \u201cMonty Python and the Holy Grail,\u201d including Patsy, the servant who banged coconuts together to imitate the sound of a galloping horse. His performance earned him a Tony nomination for best featured actor in a musical.<\/a>
\nHis Broadway run continued with \u201cIs He Dead?\u201d (2007), \u201cMemphis\u201d (2009) and \u201cBorn Yesterday\u201d (2011). Then, in 2012, came his Tony-winning turn in \u201cNice Work if You Can Get It,\u201d a musical that showcased the songs of George and Ira Gershwin. Matthew Broderick and Kelli O\u2019Hara got most of the attention in the lead roles, but it was Mr. McGrath (as a bootlegger) and Judy Kaye (as a temperance leader) who earned the show\u2019s two Tonys, for best actor and actress in a featured role in a musical.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Edited to add 9\/19: Well, since Lawrence<\/a> mentioned it…and, honestly, this is a great scene.<\/p>\n
