Stephen Spinella won two consecutive Tony and Drama Desk Awards for the original Broadway productions of Tony Kushner's Angels in America plays.

He plays Estelle Parsons' estranged gay son who returns after 20 years and becomes the family's unlikely moderator in this powder keg dramatic comedy. Spinella recently spoke about his time sparring with Estelle Parsons, saying, "It's the kind of a roller coaster ride that you don't get very often."
