Jonathan Bailey seems to have a TV show or movie role for every kind of fan. While he got his start on the stage — starring in productions of Les Misérables, Othello, The Last Five Years, King Lear, and more — most audiences will recognize him from his onscreen roles. There was his performance as a young da Vinci in Leonardo; his starring role alongside Matt Bomer (White Collar) as an idealistic congressional staffer in Fellow Travelers; and, of course, his character Lord Anthony in Bridgerton. He brought his theatrical talent to the big screen with the movie adaptation of Wicked, in which he portrayed the “mindless and careless” Fiyero Tigelaar, and is set to reprise the role in the sequel Wicked: For Good. Bailey also co-starred alongside Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow) and Mahershala Ali (Moonlight) in this summer’s Jurassic World Rebirth as paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis.

If you’ve already binged your way through Bridgerton for the billionth time and you’re looking for more Bailey performances, you can also watch these series on Netflix.
