When “Younger” first hit our screens in 2015, we were instantly hooked.
After all, what’s not to love?
“Younger” is fun, touching, and totally addictive.
Her career really took off in 2000 when she starred as Millie in “Thoroughly Modern Millie.”
As she toldShondaland, that was her first return to the stage since 2014.
If you aren’t a fan of theater, you may still recognize Foster from her TV work.
In 2012, she starred as Michelle in the short-lived ABC series “Bunheads.”
As Foster toldBuzzFeed News, “Younger” was the perfect project to take its place.
She plays Kelsey Peters, a young editor who befriends Liza when she joins the ranks at Empirical Publishing.
It’s safe to say that Younger marked Duff’s second-biggest role to date.
As Duff toldTime, it wasn’t easy for her to break away fromLizzie McGuire.
By the sound of things, Duff has managed to move past the stereotypes thanks to “Younger.”
As Tortorella toldByrdie, they also wrote a book called “All of It Is You.”
Despite his steady career, Hermann hasn’t always felt secure as an actor.
But we just keep on trucking along."
Hermann wasn’t always an actor, though.
Then in 2018, Hermannpublishedhis first children’s book, “If The S in Moose Comes Loose.”
Sounds like Hermann has a lot in common with his “Younger” character!
She also reprised the role for the film.
As Shor told theChicago Tribune, her theatrical training helped her embody the role of Diana.
Wow, talk about suffering for your art!
As she toldHarper’s Bazaar, Diana’s confidence actually helped her take the leap.
We can’t wait to see where this new-found confidence brings Shor next.
Maggie is a queer artist from Brooklyn who lives a decidedly bohemian lifestyle.
Mazar couldn’t be better cast in the role.
In fact, she’s well-known for playing similarly acerbic and bold New Yorkers.
As Mazar explained toNYC, Maggie felt like the perfect role.
Of course, Mazar did have to do some preparation for the role.
“I also spent time with a dear friend of mine named Yvonne Casas,” she continued.
“She was a beautiful, Cuban lesbian who was an artist and the most incredible dresser …
I channeled her every morning on my way to the studio.”
By the looks of things, Bernard’s career is chugging right along.
As the actress told producerRobert Peterpaul, she’d always wanted to act.
“My grandfather, Joseph Bernard, had an acting school when I was growing up …
I began studying with him when I was 6,” she recalled.
Bernard went on to study at Yale Drama School where she developed a precise acting technique.
For Bernard, “Younger” was a huge surprise.
“I genuinely thought it was a one-off,” she said of the pilot.
We have to say, we can’t imagine anyone else filling her shoes!
It turns out, Davis might just have a casting throw in.
Luckily for Davis, he got to play these two charming young men at the same time.
While Albertson may not look too familiar, fans of Sutton Foster have probably come across her before.
It’s pretty adorable to think that “Younger” saw these two reuniting after working together years earlier.
His very first role in 2000 was as Sean in “The Sopranos.”
Acting isn’t the only thing that takes up Tardio’s time.
As he toldManWithoutFear, he spent his time during the COVID-19 pandemic “keeping busy writing, painting.”
Apparently, Tardio even has his own film about ska music in the works.
And, in 2020, Tardio presented his own photography exhibition.
Talk about a multi-talented guy!
While she may not be everyone’s favorite character, it’s hard to fault Benanti’s performance.
Additionally, you’ve probably come across Benanti before.
Of course, Broadway fans will know Benanti as a stage star.
Basically, this woman works non-stop.
TV and theater aren’t the only mediums Benanti has conquered, either.
Sounds like we’ll be seeing a lot more of her after “Younger.”
After Thad’s death, he reappeared as Thad’s twin, Chad.
Amboyer did a pretty good job of portraying the sleazy, handsome Thad.
The actor has also appeared in a few theatrical productions over the years.
But these days, Amboyer seems to be focusing more on directing.
As he explained toPlaybillin 2019, he had just made his directorial debut with off-Broadway play “Whirlwind.”
He’s also had ongoing roles in “Partners” and “The Good Wife” (viaIMDb).
Urie is also well-known, like much of the “Younger” cast, for his stage work.
For Urie, his stage work seems to be both the most challenging and the most rewarding.
Whether he earned it or not, we’re definitely glad he fit right into “Younger.”
Westfeldt may look familiar to many viewers as she’s appeared in dozens of other films and TV shows.
She also appeared in both “Grey’s Anatomy” and “24” (viaIMDb).
