For some, the acting profession is a calling that can\u2019t be avoided. Keala Settle, beloved Broadway star of \u201cWaitress,\u201d \u201cLes Mis\xe9rables,\u201d and her Tony Award-nominated \u201cHands on a Hardbody,\u201d is one such performer; ever since a fortuitous road trip to a \u201cHairspray\u201d tour\u2019s open call, her stunning voice and magnetic presence have illuminated a series of intricately soulful stage roles. Now with a big-screen breakthrough as the Bearded Lady in 20th Century Fox\u2019s upcoming \u201cThe Greatest Showman,\u201d a movie musical starring Hugh Jackman as P. T. Barnum, Keala is about to win over film audiences as well.\n\nFor over 50 years, Backstage has been the most trusted place for actors to find jobs and career advice, and for casting professionals to find the right performers for their projects. \u201cIn the Envelope: An Awards Podcast\u201d features intimate, inspirational interviews with some of the most exciting actors and awards contenders working today.
