Benjamin Schiff Platt (born September 24, 1993) is an American actor and singer. The son of film and theatre producer Marc Platt and philanthropist Julie Platt, he began his acting career in musical theatre as a child. He appeared in productions of The Sound of Music (2006) and The Book of Mormon (2012–2015), rising to prominence for originating the title role in the Broadway coming-of-age musical Dear Evan Hansen (2015–2017). His performance in the latter earned him multiple accolades, including the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical (making him the youngest solo recipient of the award at the time), a Daytime Emmy, and a Grammy Award. Platt reprised the role of Evan Hansen in the 2021 film adaptation of the musical produced by his father. He then played Leo Frank in the 2022 New York City Center Gala production of Parade, which transferred to Broadway in 2023 and earned another Tony and Grammy nomination. Platt's film credits include the Pitch Perfect film series (2012–2017), Ricki and the Flash (2015), Run This Town (2019), and Theater Camp (2023), the latter of which he also co-wrote. Since 2019, he has starred in the Netflix comedy-drama series The Politician, for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe Award. Platt signed with Atlantic Records in 2017 and released his debut album, Sing to Me Instead, in March 2019. In May 2020, the concert film Ben Platt Live from Radio City Music Hall debuted on Netflix. Platt's second studio album, Reverie, was released on August 13, 2021. After signing with Interscope in 2023, Platt's third studio album, Honeymind, was released on May 31, 2024. In 2017, Platt was included on the annual Time 100 list of the world's most influential people.

Suggested by zamaj007
Follows Ted Mosby as he recounts the story of to his kids on how he and their mom met. It then follows Ted who is in his mid 20s at the start of the series as he navigates life and trying to find the right person. Every step of the way he has his friends who are all maturing right along with him. His friends just like the original are: his college roommate and best friend Marshall Eriksen, Marshall's wife Lily Aldrin, reporter Robin Scherbatsky (Ted and Robins romance is different in this version) and his friend and ladies man of the group Barney Stinson. Overall, this show would follow them all navigating life and adjusting to changes as the series goes on both relationship wise and career wise. It all culminates in Ted meeting his wife and his children's mother (note: the ending would be significantly edited as I like most fans definitely did not like it.). Revival is dedicated to Bob Saget.
