A fixture of stage and screen, Jay Armstrong Johnson is now appearing on Broadway in the acclaimed New York City Center production of Parade, playing the sensationalist reporter Britt Craig in a performance the New York Times described as “superb.”

Jay is known to television audiences worldwide as genius hacker Will Olsen on ABC’s thriller series Quantico. As the eccentric, endearing Will Olsen, Jay appeared opposite Priyanka Chopra-Jonas in all three seasons of the show’s run and quickly became a fan favorite.

On Broadway, Jay is considered one of the industry’s most versatile triple-threats, having starred as “Raoul” in The Phantom of the Opera for the global phenomenon’s record-breaking 30th anniversary, “Chip” in the celebrated revival of the classic musical On the Town, and the original casts of the Tony Award-winning revival of Hair, Hands on a Hardbody, and Catch Me if You Can.
