Even if you didn’t get a chance to see his Hamilton performance until the film version came to Disney+, you likely heard all about it. and since then Leslie Odom Jr. has become a much more in demand actor everywhere, and that Hamilton success has led to even more success elsewhere.
Leslie Odom Jr. had a successful career on stage and screen before Hamilton, but one can’t really argue that his performance as Aaron Burr hasn’t completely changed the actor’s career.
The most recent example of that is a pair of Golden Globe nominations he received for Regina King’s One Night in Miami on the same day that Hamilton was recognized for its filmed production.
