Wesley Taylor
Wesley Taylor made his Broadway debut in the original cast of Rock of Ages, before starring opposite Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth in the original cast of Broadway's The Addams Family. Taylor then originated the role of Sheldon J. Plankton in Broadway's Spongebob Squarepants, before it was filmed for Nickelodeon as "The Spongebob Musical, Live on Stage!" Taylor is a Theatre World Award Winner, Chita Rivera Award Winner, and Outer Critics Circle Award nominee.

One of IndieWire's Breakthrough TV Performances of 2023, Taylor played 'Cliff Demeo' on season three of Hulu's "Only Murders in the Building," and received a SAG Award nomination alongside his cast for Best Ensemble in a Comedy Series. Taylor's extensive credits in Television include "Looking," "The Good Wife," and fan favorite 'Bobby' on NBC's "Smash."

Taylor has co-created and starred in three original digital series, the latest being the Emmy-nominated "Indoor Boys," (HereTV) with Alex Wyse. Their feature film debut as writer-directors, "Summoning Sylvia," (AMC+, Shudder, Prime) has stayed at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes since its release in Spring 2023. Taylor & Wyse recently made their directorial stage debut with the Off-Broadway hit comedy, "Cellino v. Barnes." The play extended four times and Time Out NY deemed it "The #1 Comedy Show in NYC for 2024."

Born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and raised in Orlando, Florida, Taylor graduated from the Visual Performing Arts Magnet at Dr. Phillips High School. He then received a BFA in Drama from the University at North Carolina School of the Arts.
