Get ready to fall in love with a new kind of Prince Charming in Disney’s live-action Snow White.

Andrew Burnap plays Jonathan, the love interest of Rachel Zegler’s fairest princess of them all, in Marc Webb’s ambitious reimagining of the 1937 classic. The actor has called his involvement in the Disney live-action (in theaters March 21) a “dream come true,” while also praising his leading lady as a “once-in-a-generation talent.”

“It’s a new story in the sense that it’s no longer a princess waiting to be saved by a prince, but a princess waiting to be saved by herself and finding her voice, her strength, and her courage and actually, in the end, saving everyone around her,” Burnap told Man About Town Magazine in 2023. “I had an absolute blast working on that. I think Rachel is truly a once-in-a-generation talent, and I hope people will be as moved by what she did as I was.”

So, who is Burnap? At just 34, the actor, a graduate of the prestigious Yale School of Drama, has a resume and accolades that would even impress Grumpy. See more details about the actor below.

Like his leading lady, Burnap is also a Broadway baby 

Burnap began his career on the stage, making his professional debut in the Public Theater’s off-Broadway 2014 revival of King Lear led by Emmy and Tony winner John Lithgow. That led to another off-Broadway production, Shakespeare in the Park’s 2016 Troilus and Cressida, in which he played Troilus, and then the West End and Broadway productions of Matthew Lopez’s The Inheritance as Toby Darling. The latter role earned him his first Tony Award at the 2021 ceremony for lead actor in a play.

“This play was one of the greatest gifts of my life. Not only because I got to act for seven hours but because it gave me a new family,” Burnap said during his Tony acceptance speech. “If you are out there and wondering if you should go into theater or into the arts and you feel a little odd like I did and you don’t know if your perspective of the world will ever be valued, Google the letter that Martha Graham wrote to Agnes de Mille. Do not rob the world of your specialness, of your beauty, because we need it now more than ever.”

He’d go on to lead the 2023 Broadway revival of Camelot as Arthur at Lincoln Center, which earned him his first Drama Desk Awards nomination. He also appeared in an off-Broadway production of Jen Silverman’s Spain. Burnap is currently starring in the Broadway revival of Othello, playing Cassio alongside Hollywood heavyweights Denzel Washington (as Othello) and Jake Gyllenhaal (as Iago). 

But you’ve seen Burnap on the screen, too 

Burnap has built up an impressive resume on the big and small screen prior to becoming the Jonathan to Zegler’s Snow White. He starred as Phil in the Apple TV+ miniseries WeCrashed opposite Anne Hathaway and Jared Leto, as Joseph Smith in FX’s Under the Banner of Heaven opposite Andrew Garfield, and as Father McElvoy in Apple TV+’s Dear Edward opposite Connie Britton and Colin O’Brien. He also recently starred in Sam Eggers’s A24 horror film The Front Room, playing Norman opposite Brandy Norwood’s Belinda. Other credits include episodes of Instinct, Younger, The Good Fight, and FBI: Most Wanted. Burnap is also set to appear in the upcoming thriller The Up and Comer, based on the best-selling novel by Howard Roughan of the same name. He joins Shay Mitchell and Nate Mann in the feature from director Chris Long.

Breaking out into song out of nowhere? Sorry, Jonathan, Burnap considers that a red flag

Burnap, who, for his part, appears to be a walking green flag, filmed a segment with Zegler for Flagship Cinemas where they deciphered the red flags and green flags in dating, but with a Snow White twist. Someone who breaks out into a song out of nowhere? That’s a green flag for Zegler but a red flag for Burnap. “Out of nowhere?” No, thank you.

Someone who can’t stop looking at themselves in the mirror? Red flag, says the actor.

Someone who whistles constantly? Also a red flag. Sorry, Snow White.

Someone who can hang out with woodland creatures? That is “for sure” a green flag, but having a lot of roommates? Red flag. Though “it probably means they can work well in a group setting,” he adds. So perhaps that’s a green flag after all.

Someone who is handing out free apples? It’s a green flag for Burnap, who says, “For the most part, that’s a kind person.” Zegler quips in response, “Not in my case.”

Disney’s live-action Snow White is in theaters on March 21.
