    Will Roland

    Will Roland is a Brooklyn-based actor/director. He is best known as a performer from the original Broadway productions of Be More Chill in which he starred as Jeremy Heere, and Dear Evan Hansen, where he originated the role of Evan’s ‘family friend’ Jared Kleinman. He is also known for his role as financial analyst "Winston" on the last five seasons of Billions on Showtime.

    His regional and off-Broadway theatre credits include The Baker’s Wife at Classic Stage Company, Summer Stock at Goodspeed Opera House, The Black Suits at Barrington Stage Company and Center Theatre Group, and many more.

    Will is also a proud longtime member of Joe Iconis & Family, the repertory company of punk-rock musical theatre artists led by Joe Iconis. They have collaborated frequently over the last 15 years.

    Will is the director of the upcoming Tin Pan Alley jukebox rom-com All of Me. Will’s solo show, LoserSongs played to sold-out houses in New York and San Francisco.

    During the pandemic, he has frequently collaborated with fellow Dear Evan Hansen alums Andrew Barth Feldman and Alex Boniello on charity streaming events including Broadway Jackbox and Supporting Rolls. These streams collectively raised over $100,000 for a host of charities including: The Actors Fund, Feeding America, the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, and I Need Diverse Games.
