Today in aca-amazing news: It’s Skylar Astin‘s birthday.
Astin, who currently stars on the sitcom Ground Floor, has a big music background. He first broke out as part of the original Broadway cast of the Tony-award winning musical Spring Awakening, as well as indie films such as Hamlet 2 — which, if you A.) Haven’t seen and B.) Have a twisted sense of humor, you should definitely check out. He followed that up by becoming a teen hearthrob as Jesse in Pitch Perfect (Great news: He’s returning for the sequel!) and a fun spot on Glee last year.
