Cheyenne Jackson
From:  Favorite Hunks & Other Things
 OMG Cheyenne is one sexy man! He has a bod built for many things, but we are lucky he uses his gifts to provide some of the most entertaining performances on Broadway since his debut in Thoroughly Modern Millie, understudying the two male leads in 2005. He has been a fixture on the great great way ever since. He starred in the Tony nominated Xanadu. Jackson has also been a back up singer for Heather Headley and Vanessa Williams and from all accounts is one great guy. 


 Cheyenne Jackson (born July 12, 1975) is an American actor and singer. He has played in many prominent roles in theater on Broadway. His first Broadway leading role in All Shook Up earned him a Theatre World Award for "Outstanding Broadway Debut." Additionally, on the New York stage he has starred in The Performers, 8, Finian's Rainbow (Drama Desk nomination), Damn Yankees, Xanadu (Drama League, Drama Desk nominations), The Agony & the Agony, the premiere cast of Altar Boyz, Aida, and Thoroughly Modern Millie.


 He has also appeared in a number of films, including his portrayal of Mark Bingham in the 2006 Academy Award nominated United 93, which earned him the Boston Society of Film Critics 2006 award for Best Ensemble Cast; in television series such as NBC's 30 Rock and Fox's Glee; and guest-starring roles on several other TV series.


 In concert, he has sold out Carnegie Hall twice: "The Power of Two" in 2010 and "Music of the Mad Men Era" in 2011. In addition to his theatrical musical career, he has also developed a general musical career, with a joint album The Power of Two with Michael Feinstein in 2008. In 2012, Jackson released two singles "Drive" and the follow-up "Before You". Both songs are from his 2013 album I'm Blue, Skies.


 Jackson is openly gay. Jackson and Monte Lapka, a physicist, began dating in 2000 and married on September 3, 2011 in New York. Less than two years later, in July 2013, Jackson and Lapka announced plans to divorce. They filed for divorce in September 2013.


 In October 2013, he announced he was dating actor Jason Landau on his official Instagram account, although they had been having an affair since August. In February 2014, they have announced their engagement.


 Jackson appeared on the cover of The Advocate issue #1006. The magazine used the caption: "Hello, gorgeous! For leading man Cheyenne Jackson, coming out is a beautiful thing". In 2008, Jackson was chosen as one of the 'People of the Year" by Out and appeared alongside Gus Van Sant, Katy Perry and Sam Sparro on the magazine's special December 2008 issue, being the magazine's 100th issue. In April 2010, he appeared on the cover of Canadian fab magazine under title "Cheyenne Jakson: I Love New York" with photographs by Mike Ruiz. He also appeared on Out magazine's November 2010 under the title "Shine on, Cheyenne: Glee 's hot new villain on love, redemption & Wonder Woman" In July 2012, Jackson appeared on the cover of attitude magazine with photographs by Joseph Sinclair.
