Early life and education
Urie was born in Houston, Texas, and raised in Plano. He is of Scottish and Italian descent. In 1998, he graduated from Plano Senior High School.
Before being admitted to the Juilliard School in New York City, Urie attended Collin County Community College. He served with the Drama Division's Group 32 from 1999 to 2003 while serving there. In 2003, Urie graduated from Juilliard.
Personal life
On his website, Urie referred to himself as "a member of the LGBT community" in 2009. He said he was in a relationship with a man and identified as "queer" in a 2010 interview with The Advocate. When he was with women before, he said it never went wrong.
Career
Urie, who was still a student at Juilliard, appeared in Love and Happiness (2001), a worldwide premiere of Love and Happiness starring a sixteen-year-old boy struggling to get rid of his mother's boyfriend.
The Juilliard School's 2002 John Houseman Award for Excellence in Classical Theatre. Shakespeare, Jacobean tragedy, and dell'arte commedia were among his classical credits.
In both the stage play and the film version, Urie played the central role.
He is on the board of Plum Productions and serves as its casting director. He has worked with the same company and appeared in Prachtoberfest and lowbrow (and a little bit tacky). He has appeared on Like The Mountains and The Fantasticks (Four Players Theatre), as a freelance producer. He was also in charge of the second stage's production.
Urie appeared in ABC's Ugly Betty as Marc St. James, Wilhelmina Slater's assistant, played by Vanessa Williams in 2006. Wilhelmina would have a different assistant in each episode, according to the show's founder, so Urie was first introduced as a guest star in the credits. Williams, on the other hand, adored their chemistry, and Urie was signed as a full-time regular midway through the first season. In 2007, and 2008, he and the cast were nominated for Outstanding Achievement by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. In 2009, Urie was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. He was with Ugly Betty until the show's cancellation in 2010.
Urie hosted TLC's reality-based program Miss America: Reality Check during the 2007-08 Writer Guild of America's strike. The competition was followed by the contestants in the 2008 Miss America Pageant.
Urie has returned often to his theater roots, including directing a one-night performance of Howard Ashman's unproduced musical Dreamstuff. Howard's collaborators, Marsha Malamet and Dennis Green, reimagined the musical and appeared at Hayworth Theatre for one night as part of the Bruno Kirby celebrity reading series. He has appeared on Live with Regis and Kelly, as well as in the 2008 Disney blockbuster film Beverly Hills Chihua as Sebastian's voice.
Rudi Gernreich appeared in The Temperamentals, a 2009 off-Broadway play about the Mattachine Society's early LGBT rights group. For Outstanding Lead Actor, Urie was given the Lucille Lortel Award.
In January 2012, Urie made his Broadway debut in January 2012, appearing in the cast of How to Succeed in Company Without Really Trying in the role of Bud Frump.
Urie also has his own website for videoblogging and live chats. In 2012, Urie appeared alongside James in Wendy Mass' children's book Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life, written and directed by Tamar Halpern.
Urie was one of the leads in CBS's short-lived series Partners. Will & Grace creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan's multi-camera comedy centered on lifelong acquaintances and business partners, one gay and one mixed. The series premiered on September 24, 2012, but after only six episodes had been broadcast, it was cancelled.
Buyer & Cellar's 2013 appearance garnered him a Clarence Derwent Award as well as a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Solo Achievement.
