Jonathan Groff is all smiles while hitting the blue carpet at the premiere of his latest film Looking held during the 2016 Frameline40 Film Festival at Castro Theatre on Sunday (June 26) in San Francisco, Calif.

The 31-year-old actor was joined at the event by his co-stars Russell Tovey, Frankie J. Alvarez, Murray Bartlett, Daniel Franzese, Lauren Weedman, and Raul Castillo, executive producer and co-writer Michael Lannan, and director/co-writer Andrew Haigh.

“It was very meta for all of us,” Jonathan expressed about wrapping up the HBO series after the show was canceled after two seasons (via Broadway World). “Coming back to shoot the movie was like coming back to say goodbye to our characters and San Francisco. But when I read the script, I thought: ‘Omigod, that’s the perfect ending!’”

The film will air on Saturday, July 23 at 10pm – Watch the trailer here!

Jonathan Groff will be reprising his role as Patrick Murray in an upcoming movie to wrap up his HBO series Looking.

The show was canceled after two seasons, but a movie was green lit to give fans an end to the story.

Looking: The Movie wraps up the story of three close friends who explore the options available to a new generation of gay men seeking fulfillment in love and life. Also starring in the film are the show’s actors Murray Bartlett, Frankie J. Alvarez, Russell Tovey, Raul Castillo, Lauren Weedman, and Daniel Franzese.

The film will air on Saturday, July 23 at 10pm.

Russell Tovey poses on the carpet while attending the opening night after party for the new Broadway production of A View From the Bridge on Thursday (November 12) at Guastavino’s restaurant in New York City.

The 33-year-old British actor, who is best known for his role on HBO’s Looking, was joined by his co-stars Mark Strong, Phoebe Fox, Nicola Walker, and more.

Russell revealed to Billboard that he makes his singing debut in the play.

“I’ve never been paid to sing. I’ve sung on a karaoke stage. A lot. But have I sung where someone’s been giving me a wage? No,” Russell said. “Well, actually, we sang a tiny bit in The History Boys, didn’t we? We had kind of like, ‘Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye’ songs, with a little bit of a routine. But this is… I mean, ['Paper Doll'] is only like five lines, and then my character gets cut off. But, it’s a nice five lines, and it kind of comes out of nowhere. So, yeah, it’s been fun.”

WHAT DO YOU THINK of the second season trailer for Looking?

Jonathan Groff, Murray Bartlet, Russell Tovey of the hit HBO show Looking have made the list of this year’s Out 100 Honorees!

“The show took its time to set up the characters and story lines last year,” Jonathan, 29, said to the mag about the second season of the show. “This season moves at a faster pace. A lot happens quickly.”

“Photo shoots can be so awkward, so I just play pretend like I’m a little kid. Growing up, we had a bin of costumes – an old man or Peter Pan or a princess or whatever – and to get outside the weirdness I just think, This is like dress-up time,” Jonathan added.

FYI: Looking co-stars Raúl Castillo and Frankie J. Alvarez, who are straight, did not rank among the Out 100, but are still loved by the mag!
