On May 10, I had the unique pleasure of attending Aaron Tveit's first-ever cabaret show at 54 Below in New York City. Tveit, best known for his stage (Next To Normal, Catch Me If You Can) and big screen (Les Miserables) work is set to take over television this summer with Graceland, USA's gritty and gripping new series about federal agents.
It's been a long road to his first lead TV role and that's exactly what Tveit's carefully cultivated cabaret show highlighted as song selection transported audiences back in time; from his first audition to his last, while also highlighting tunes that have altered his personal and professional destiny.
ETonline recently caught up with Tveit to find out how he approached crafting this 54 Below show, why Taylor Swift was a major factor, what excites him about audiences finally moving into Graceland and if he's ready for the fame that comes with being TV's hottest new star.

They are young, good-looking and in the business of hunting bad guys under Southern California’s sunny skies.
Sound like the ingredients for a USA Network drama series? Sure — until “Graceland” opens with an undercover federal agent pretending to shoot up heroin as part of a drug bust.
USA is very deliberately trying to move a few yards out of its blue-sky comfort zone with its latest original drama. The ensembler toplined by Broadway vet Aaron Tveit and “Rescue Me’s” Daniel Sunjata revolves around a clutch of top law enforcement agents who live in a fancy beach house.
The tone is a little darker than USA’s signature dramas (think “Burn Notice,” “White Collar” and “Suits”), which tend to blend action with a lighter touch of romance or buddy comedy. The characters in “Graceland” are a little less charming than on other USA fare, and most notably, there’s »

On Thursday, June 6, "White Collar" executive producer Jeff Eastin makes it a two-fer on USA Network with the premiere of his latest drama, "Graceland."
Based on a true story, it follows an interdisciplinary team of undercover agents battling crime in Southern California while bunking together in a lavish seaside mansion seized from a drug lord (the original was in Manhattan Beach, just south of Lax), nicknamed "Graceland" after its former owner's love of Elvis.
Aaron Tveit ("Les Miserables") stars as newly minted FBI Agent Mike Warren, who is teamed with veteran FBI Agent Paul Briggs (Daniel Sunjata, "Rescue me"). Rounding out the cast are Vanessa Ferlito as FBI Agent Catherine "Charlie" DeMarco; Brandon Jay McLaren as U.S. Customs Agent Dale Jakes; Serinda Swan as DEA Agent Paige Arkin; and Manny Montana as FBI Agent Joe "Johnny" Tuturro.
There was some initial concern about the ambiguity of the title, but based on his previous experience, »

It's quite possible that nothing has ever been better than Aaron Tveit singing Taylor Swift.
Over the past few months, the world has learned something very important: Aaron Tveit is awesome. The actor and singer wasn't particularly well-known before his appearance in "Les Miserables," but that has all changed. In addition to that prominent part, Tveit will play the lead in USA's upcoming summer drama, "Graceland."
If you needed one more reason to be interested, we have it here in a video in which Tveit sings his rendition of Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" at New York's 54 Below.
The result is really quite wonderful.
This is unfortunately not an official video (as evidenced by the erratic camera work and loud laughter) but is instead from the audience footage of YouTube user lalalalauraa4. But that's okay. The vocals are the real draw here. Tveit is a very good singer, »

Aaron Tveit has won himself a lot of fans for his performance in "Les Miserables," but he is likely to gain even more when the actor's new series, "Graceland," airs this summer on USA. For those people who might want to catch a glimpse of Tveit now, he appears throughout a promo released to tease the series.
In "Graceland," Tveit co-stars with Daniel Sunjata, Vanessa Ferlito, Manny Montana, Brandon Jay McLaren and Serinda Swan as an undercover FBI agent sent to live in a California beach house filled with officers from multiple federal agencies. The house itself is called Graceland, giving the show its title. Working from there, the various agents work to fight crimes including drug trafficking and smuggling.

Last week, I emptied my notebook from Miami. But now I’m a little further West in Dallas, where I spent yesterday at the legendary Southfork Ranch where the cast of Dallas is busy shooting Season 2.
I’ve also got more scoop from Pretty Little Liars’ Janel Parrish, along with intel on USA’s upcoming summer series Graceland.

We start the Top 7. You finish the Top 10.
When I wrote about my favorite Oscar-winning performances of the past decade, I said it’s best not to get too worked up about the Academy Awards. I did add that it is more fun when I agree with them. Of course I didn’t agree with every decision last night. For example, the very good Argo is far from my favorite film of the year, and I felt Tony Kushner’s screenplay for Lincoln deserved it over Chris Terrio. Sure, I wish Skyfall had brought Roger Deakins his long-awaited first Oscar, I’d have loved to see ParaNorman beat Brave, and I don’t think Silver Linings Playbook is the one Jennifer Lawrence will be remembered for. Even so, accepting that no one will ever be happy with all the winners, this newest slate is alright by me.
It isn’t »

You may have heard that Sunday's Oscars was the worst ceremony in Academy history. I bet you also heard it was the best ceremony in Academy history. Get this: Neither is true! The Oscars were perfectly Oscar-y on Sunday, not dreadful or miraculous almost ever. Except for when host Seth MacFarlane stepped up to the dais. Oh God, guys. I don't watch his cartoon, The Hilariously Funny Family Guy Variety Hour or whatever it's called, but rest assured I won't be tuning in any time soon. We'll get to that in a bit.
Let's start with uplifting award handouts: I mostly applauded the night's winners, including the first honoree, the sexy, angular, tantalizingly clean-shaven Christoph Waltz. No doubt about it, the sinister gent is a talented looker. I have dreams where he stares at me like a cruel headmaster and I fall to the ground in sexual hysteria. »

Best Supporting Actress nominee Adams on the 85th Academy Awards red carpet Amy Adams, a Best Supporting Actress nominee for Paul Thomas Anderson's well-received psychological drama The Master, is seen arriving at the 85th Academy Awards show. Adams' competitors were the following: Jacki Weaver for David O. Russell's Silver Linings Playbook, Anne Hathaway for Tom Hooper's Les Misérables, Sally Field for Steven Spielberg's Lincoln, and Helen Hunt for Ben Lewin's The Sessions. Hathaway, as expected, turned out to be the winner. (See below photos of Aaron Tveit and Best Director nominee Benh Zeitlin on the Oscar red carpet.) This was Adams' fourth Oscar nod. Her previous ones, all in the Best Supporting Actress category, were the following: Phil Morrison's comedy-drama Junebug (2005); John Patrick Shanley's drama Doubt (2008), with Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman; and David O. Russell's family drama The Fighter (2010), opposite Mark Wahlberg, »

In one of the most unique Oscar races to come down the pike in quite a while, Warner Bros. Pictures’ Argo won the Academy Award for best motion picture of the year during the live ABC telecast of the Oscars from the Dolby Theater in Hollywood on Sunday night. Actor Jack Nicholson and First Lady Michelle Obama (via satellite) presented producers Grant Heslov, Ben Affleck and George Clooney the statue.
Of the win, director Ben Affleck said backstage, “ I was excited about making the movie. These guys had a script, I really liked it, I called them up, and asked will you put me on the movie? And I wanted to do the movie and I wanted to work with them. That’s what I thought would happen. I wanted to work on some quality. I did the movie, we all worked really hard, I hoped that people would like it. »
