If there’s a lesson to be gleaned from the arc of Murray Bartlett’s career, it may be this: Never underestimate the power of a really great mustache.
a Hulu limited series based on the surprisingly ill-starred history of the male strip revue that became a cultural sensation in the 1980s. Sporting not a mustache but a glorious cape of hair, he plays Nick De Noia, the visionary choreographer and filmmaker who shaped the Chippendales’ buff-guys-in-bow-ties aesthetic and was killed in 1987 amid tensions with the company’s founder, Steve Banerjee . It’s yet another flamboyant character Bartlett infuses with unexpected depth and subtlety.
After attending performing arts high school, Bartlett enrolled at the prestigious National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney; he says he chose it because Judy Davis went there. His contemporaries included Cate Blanchett and Toni Collette, performers who thrived while still in school. Bartlett, who describes his younger self as “super sensitive,” had a harder time.
People just “love the s— out of him,” says Groff, who has helped Bartlett tape many auditions over the years, including once while they were in Australia “in a place without a working toilet.” Bartlett worried about having to step away from acting and find a plan B. “Then the pandemic hit, and I got this bizarre job in Hawaii out of nowhere,” he says, referring to “The White Lotus.” “The lesson for me anyway is like, when you make a choice that’s for the greater good of your life, a lot of things open up in a way that you could never imagine.”
