Josh Grisetti, the Broadway actor best known for Something Rotten! and It Shoulda Been You as well as a recurring role on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, died Friday by suicide, according to his co-star and friend Rob McClure. He was 44.
“It is with a shattered heart that I share that the brilliant Josh Grisetti took his own life on Friday,” wrote McClure, who starred alongside Grisetti in Something Rotten! “Some of my all-time favorite memories were by this man’s side, playing his brother onstage for years.” The duo played Nigel and Nick Bottom in the Broadway and traveling productions of the musical.
Grisetti was also on Broadway in 2015 as Marty Kaufman in It Shoulda Been You.
On television, Grisetti is best known for his eight-episode arc as Ralph Emerson in the fifth season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. He also starred alongside Donal Logue and Sofia Vergara in The Knights of Prosperity on ABC. The sitcom aired for nine episodes before being cancelled.
His other TV credits include appearances on Nurse Jackie and The Good Fight.
