As a teenager, Groener was apprenticed at the San Francisco City Ballet ; he went on to study drama at the University Of Washington . Groener's reputation in New York City rests almost entirely on his work in musical theater, although the bulk of his roles outside New York have been in classical drama. His most important Broadway roles include Will Parker in '' Oklahoma! '' (Tony Award nomination, Theatre World Award), Munkustrap in '' Cats '' (Tony Award nomination), Georges/George in '' Sunday In The Park With George '', and Bobby Child in '' Crazy For You '' (Tony, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle Awards nominations). He has performed in regional theaters across the country, including the San Diego Old Globe Theatre (where he is an associate artist), Mark Taper Forum, Westwood Playhouse, South Coast Repertory, Long Wharf Theater, A.C.T., and the Williamstown Theater Festival. Groener has performed regularly on TV, including guest appearances on '''' (2005) and several dozen other series; he was also a series regular in the Sitcom ''Dear John''. Notable film work includes Road To Perdition and About Schmidt .
