Jenkins recently appeared in Lincoln Center's revival of Clifford Odets' Golden Boy. His other Broadway credits include Billy Elliot and Trimuph of Love. Jenkins has appeared off-Broadway in Love Child, Bye Bye Birdie, The Pajama Game and Spinning Into Butter. Scheitinger's TV credits include Person of Interest and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
