Andrew Rannells

This week on Reclaiming, we sit down with actor and author Andrew Rannells for a candid, funny, and deeply reflective conversation about identity, family, and the roles—onstage and off—that have shaped his life. Andrew opens up about growing up gay and Catholic in Omaha, Nebraska, and how those early years informed both his sense of humor and his search for belonging. He shares what it was like to skyrocket to fame with his Tony-nominated performance in The Book of Mormon, and later, to challenge audiences (and himself) as Elijah on HBO’s Girls. But some of his most meaningful roles have been far from the spotlight—like learning how to be a stepparent and navigating adulthood on his own terms.
