Flashback! A Tearful Tony Win for Jersey Boy Christian Hoff

In 2005, the race for the Best Featured Actor in a Musical race was pretty tight, but it's hard to imagine anyone complaining that the award ultimately went to Jersey Boys star Christian Hoff, who played bad-boy Tommy DeVito to almost eerie perfection. We have to admit, our reaction was similar to presenter Christine Ebersole, who let out an ear-piercing shriek of glee as co-presenters John Tartaglia and Rod read Hoff's name. The emotionally overwhelmed actor triumphantly took the stage, receiving a standing ovation from his castmates and original Four Seasons Frankie Valli and Bob Gaudio, his voice breaking as he thanked his immigrant father and his wife and children, including a greeting to the baby still in wife Melissa's womb. Some Tony clips just don't get old, and this is one of them!
