BIO

Christian Hoff is an American actor best known for his role as Tommy DeVito in the Broadway production of Jersey Boys, for which he won a Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical in 2006.


Born on April 21, 1968, in San Francisco, California, Hoff grew up in a family of performers. His father was an actor and his mother was a singer, and he began performing at a young age. He attended the High School of Performing Arts in New York City and later studied at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute.
Hoff made his Broadway debut in 1997 in the musical The Who's Tommy, in which he played the role of Cousin Kevin. He went on to appear in several other Broadway productions, including Jesus Christ Superstar, Grease, and The Rocky Horror Show.
In 2005, Hoff was cast as Tommy DeVito in the original Broadway production of Jersey Boys, a musical based on the life and career of the Four Seasons. The show was a critical and commercial success, and Hoff's performance earned him rave reviews and a Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical. He also received Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle nominations for his performance.
Following his success in Jersey Boys, Hoff appeared in several other productions, including the Off-Broadway play The Diva Is Dismissed and the Broadway musicals Pal Joey and 42nd Street. He also made guest appearances on television shows such as Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Ugly Betty.
In addition to his work on stage and screen, Hoff is also a talented singer and songwriter. He has released several albums, including his debut album, "Hollywood Stories," which features original songs and covers of classic Hollywood tunes.
Hoff continues to work in the entertainment industry, both on stage and screen. He most recently appeared in the film The Choir Director and in the Off-Broadway production of The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show. He is also a member of the group The Midtown Men, which features four cast members from the original Broadway production of Jersey Boys.
