Give my regards to Broadway ...

Ethan Le Phong is an actor who has appeared in Broadway musicals, most notably "Naked Boys Singing!" in 2007. He also performed in "Miss Saigon" on Broadway, as well as in national touring company prior to that.

His other stage credits include the London West End iterations of "The King and I," "Thoroughly Modern Millie" and "South Pacific." He appeared in Hollywood Bowl productions of "Les Miserables" and "Rent" and in the title role of the East West Players' all-Asian cast of Pippin. In 2011 he joined the national tour of  "Mamma Mia!" as Pepper, the funny bartender.

Ethan is also a film actor, having appeared in the feature film "Waiting in the Wings: The Musical," which premiered in New York in April. The film, whose stars include Shirley Jones, is the story of two entertainers, desperate for stardom, who are mismatched in a casting office for two vastly different roles.

He co-starred last year in the 15-minute short, "Squared," in which a one-night stand gets competitive when both guys find out they are tops. He also appears in another short, "The Best Man," which is scheduled for release this year. In the film, two men reflect on their long-term relationship and on the meaning of monogamy as they prepare for their wedding.

As you might deduct from his experience in "Naked Boys Singing!", Ethan has no hesitation about posing in the nude. And it's a good thing!
