Actor Brandon Uranowitz has been nominated for five Tony Awards. First, he was recognized for his turn in “An American in Paris,” then for the 2017 revival of “Falsettos,” the 2019 revival of “Burn This” and “Leopoldstadt.” Uranowitz clinched the win for the latter production for his dual roles as Nathan/Ludwig. Today, he is a 2026 Tony nominee for his performance as Tateh in “Ragtime.”

Here, Uranowitz shares the personal meaning in playing all of these characters and the ways in which Tateh can be distinguished from them all.
