He was called, by Playbill, "arguably the most versatile leading man on Broadway",[1] playing roles from "Shakespeare's Romeo to The Who's Tommy, from the German transsexual rock diva Hedwig in Hedwig & the Angry Inch to the homicidal title character of Sondheim's Sweeney Todd."[2]
Cerveris' most visible television role to date has been as the Observer code-named September in the FOX science fiction television series Fringe.
