BIOGRAPHY
Very early on, Cheyenne Jackson demonstrated multiple talents for singing and performing. Having taken acting lessons in Seattle, he moved to New York and made his Broadway debut with several small parts before landing a leading role in 2005, in All Shook Up, a supercharged musical comedy. On the screens, the public only discovered him from 2008 thanks to a few appearances in well-known series such as Ugly Betty , New York Judicial Police or even Life On Mars .

Very difficult first steps in television but which ended up paying off when he landed several decisive recurring roles. First in Glee , where his vocal abilities do not go unnoticed, then in 30 Rock , once again in the shoes of a musician. An attraction for singing predominates in the life of the artist, who at the same time continues to play on Broadway and releases his own albums: The Power of Two (2008) in collaboration with Michael Feinstein , then I’m Blue, Skies ( 2013) solo. Despite her success on stage, Cheyenne Jackson has much less luck when it comes to being in front of the camera.

Indeed, many pilots that he shoots do not get a sequel, but the star does not let himself be discouraged and finds new opportunities in the cinema. He rubbed shoulders with Matt Damon and Michael Douglas in My Life with Liberace by Steven Soderbergh , in 2013. The following year, he played a young man in a relationship with another man in Love Is Strange , a drama directed by Ira Sachs and which deals with marriage between people of the same sex. A subject dear to the actor who openly claims his homosexuality. In 2015, the creator of Glee, Ryan Murphy , contacted him again to participate in the fifth season of his horror show American Horror Story . Once again in the skin of a homosexual character, he shares the majority of his scenes with the new headliner of the series, Lady Gaga .
