But the action hero got his start in the world of musical theatre. One of his first roles was Gaston in Beauty and the Beast in his native Australia, which led to a role in the West End cast of Oklahoma! and a Tony Award-winning performance in The Boy from Oz on Broadway. He has returned his musical theatre roots in recent years, starring as Jean Valjean in the film production of Les Miserables and, of course, playing PT Barnum in The Greatest Showman. The latter proved to be an unexpectedly huge success, with its soundtrack spending nearly a year in the Top 5 of the UK album charts.
