We may have to wait until November for "Wicked: For Good" and to see everyone's favorite sexually-flexible Prince Fiyero (and his hot pants), but his portrayer, yummy Jonathan Bailey, will also star in Gareth Edwards' "Jurassic World Rebirth" opposite Scarlett Johansson and hotties Ed Skrein and Rupert Friend, opening July 2, 2025. And he will be a part of the fourth season of "Bridgerton."

The openly gay thesp recently received a surprise SAG nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role. Along with his shared "Wicked" cast nomination and one for the "Bridgerton" ensemble in 2021, that brings his total to three.

Onscreen, Bailey has been featured in "St. Trinian" (2007), "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" (2007), "Testament of Youth" (2014), and "The Young Messiah" (2016).

His TV credits include major roles in "Broadchurch," opposite Olivia Colman, Phoebe Waller-Bridge's "Crashing," "Bridgerton," of course, and the groundbreaking Showtime miniseries "Fellow Travelers," which brought him his first Emmy nomination. His explicit sex scenes with Matt Bomer in that limited series were off-the-charts sizzling!


Bailey's career began onstage as a child actor in London in "A Christmas Carol" and then as Gavroche in "Les Misérables." His most recent stage credits include the celebrated revival of Sondheim's "Company," opposite Patti LuPone on the West End, for which he received an Olivier Award, as well as starring in Mike Bartlett's play "Cock." He is currently playing "Richard II" at the Bridge Theatre in London. https://bridgetheatre.co.uk/whats-on/richard-ii/
