Pelphrey's Broadway career
Pelphrey has appeared in two Broadway shows, as well as several off-Broadway performances, in addition to his cinematic work. In 2012, he made his Broadway debut with 'End of the Rainbow' as Micky Deans, a drama about Judy Garland's final days. The splendid show received several Tony Awards. He also starred alongside Nina Arianda and Sam Rockwell in Pulitzer Prize-winner Sam Shepard's 'Fool for Love' on Broadway in 2015.
Pelphrey owns a theatre company
Pelphrey founded the Apothecary Theater Company with his pals and other Rutgers graduates in 2008, before his Broadway success. Pelphrey's goal, as co-founder and art director, was to allow aspiring actors to fulfill their love for acting, producing, and directing their own theatrical performances without suffering in hard auditions.
The company developed ‘In God's Hat’ which gained acclaim and was completely sold out. In 2010, the New York Times wrote, "Given that the laconic characters of In God's Hat seldom waste their breath, it's tempting, to sum up, the play with a single word: terrific."
Pelphrey began acting very early
Pelphrey was born and reared in Howell, New Jersey, and began acting at the age of fourteen. He studied acting at his performing arts high school and later at the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. Pelphrey told The Hollywood Reporter, "I started drama school when I was 18.”
He had the opportunity to study Shakespeare at the Globe Theater in London while at Rutgers University.
