We've established that Grace doesn't like to pin himself down to any particular type of role or genre, but did you know that he developed and starred in his own musical? Before you rush off to search YouTube for clips of him singing (in fact, we'll save you the trouble), we can confirm that the film is just as bizarre, but nowhere near as bad as it sounds. In fact, 2016's Opening Night was a hit with those critics that bothered to see it, earning a respectable rating on Rotten Tomatoes but still flying way under the radar of the wider public.
"I've always been approached to do indie-type films, but the opportunity to partner with Isaac [Rentz] on this type of project was really exciting," Grace told Hello Giggles. "Singing in front of an audience is like going to a dance in middle school — you have to accept that you don't really know what the end result will be, but you shouldn't be scared." It was the first time that Grace sang on film, but he's actually well-versed in musicals, having been a huge fan of them since childhood.
"Oh man, La La Land blew my mind," he told BriefTake in 2017. "I remember just watching that first scene on the highway, thinking, 'That is more effort than most people put into an entire film, and I haven't even met the two lead characters yet.'"
