Norbert Leo Butz
Known for
Norbert Leo Butz, born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1967, is one of the very few American actors to have won the Tony for Best Actor in a Musical twice, for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (2005) and Catch Me If You Can (2011). On Broadway he moved with unusual ease between the sardonic con man and the wounded romantic, also shining in Wicked and Big Fish. On the small screen he brought weary loyalty to Kevin Rayburn across three seasons of Bloodline (2015-2017). Away from the spotlight he is also a songwriter and album artist, further blurring the line between musical theatre and pop.
