Among his acclaimed stage performances are The Boy from Oz (for which he received a Tony Award as Best Actor in a Musical) and The Music Man, currently on Broadway. In The Son, he plays Peter, whose hectic life with his infant and new partner Beth (Kirby) is upended when his ex-wife Kate (Dern) appears with their troubled teenage son (McGrath). The screenplay was adapted by Christopher Hampton and Florian Zeller from the 2018 play by Zeller, whose theatrical work has been staged in more than 45 countries. His directorial debut was The Father (2020), winner of the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, as well as Best Actor for Anthony Hopkins (who appears in The Son).
