One of Hollywood's biggest stars, Jackman made his Broadway debut as Peter Allen in the musical The Boy from Oz, winning a Tony Award for his performance. He returned to the New York stage to star opposite Daniel Craig in the drama A Steady Rain and in his own extravaganza Hugh Jackman, Back on Broadway. On the big screen, he's mostly memorably appeared as Wolverine in six blockbuster films in the X-Men series and as Jean Valjean in the film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical Les Miserables.
