No role is too small for Michael Urie. He’s made that clear since his Ugly Betty days, when he played the razor-tongued assistant to Vanessa Williams’s diva-boss character, stealing scenes with a single arched eyebrow. He’s continued the trend with Harrison Ford and Jason Segel’s feel-good sitcom, Shrinking, for which Urie secured an Emmy nomination for his supporting role, as Segel’s lawyer-slash-confidant. Now the Juilliard graduate takes the stage in Cole Escola’s Broadway hit, Oh, Mary! To celebrate his role, as Mary’s acting teacher, Urie shares his least favorite things. —Carolina de Armas
