Ethan Slater got his blockbuster break when he was cast to star in the two-part Wicked film. The 32-year-old, born in Washington D.C., had an acting career before his role in the hotly-rated Jon M. Chu film. Slater first starred in a 2015 stage show called Diner where he played a character called Modell.

His stage presence also promoted him to the bright lights of Broadway with three roles on some of America’s most famous stages. Slater appeared in Spamalot, Camelot, and the Broadway rendition of the Spongebob SquarePants musical. His role as the yellow TV character landed him in the critics' good books as he was nominated for a Tony Award and won a Drama Desk Award in 2018 for his rendition.

Slater was shot into global stardom overnight when his relationship with fellow co-star Ariana Grande became public. The Broadway actor might have expected to land a career boost through his major role as Boq on Wicked but the theater star also bagged a new relationship.
