Among the awards he has received are two Drama Desk Awards (1992 and 2002), an SDC Foundation Governor’s Award and a Richard Rodgers Award (2006). Alongside his husband, the late Gary Gunas, he can be seen on the popular web series “Old Show Queens” created and produced by Jeff Marx (Avenue Q) and Andrew Hawkins.
