Since making headlines as Ariana Grande’s new flame, fans want to learn more about Ethan Slater. Unlike her soon-to-be ex-husband Dalton Gomez, Slater comes from an entertainment background, with acting credits in shows like “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” and “Murphy Brown.” However, the young talent got his official big break in 2016 when he made his Broadway debut as the beloved sea sponge in “SpongeBob Squarepants the Musical.” “It’s an honor that I didn’t know I wanted. Playing Spongebob… it’s amazing,” he told Newsweek in 2018. “Getting to play him every day has sort of rubbed off on me and improved my life.” During the show’s short run on Broadway, Slater received praise from critics and attendees alike, which resulted in his Tony Award nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Musical.
While the “Instinct” star didn’t win the coveted accolade, he did take home the prestigious Drama Desk Award for Best Actor. “Thank you, this is incredible. I am thoroughly blown away,” he told the crowd during his acceptance speech. Since landing his career-making role in “SpongeBob Squarepants the Musical,” Slater has gone on to star in Off-Broadway shows including “Camelot” and “Assassins,” and TV shows like “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”
