A View from the Bridge Star Michael Zegen on Dream Roles, Scary Auditions and Why He's Always On a Treasure Hunt

Age: 36

Hometown: Ridgewood, New Jersey

Current Role: Marco, the cool-headed (to a point!) Italian immigrant of A View from the Bridge, who comes to Brooklyn to make money for his family back home. 

Stage and Screen Cred: Although Bridge marks his Broadway debut, Zegen previously starred in the high profile off-Broadway shows Bad Jews and The Spoils and had notable roles in TV smashes like Rescue Me, The Walking Dead, Girls and Boardwalk Empire, as notorious gangster Bugsy Siegel. Film credits include Adventureland, Frances Ha, Brooklyn and Michael Mayer's upcoming film adaptation of The Seagull.
