Career

Diamantopoulos began appearing in TV commercials and professional theatre productions at the age of 9 and by the time he turned 18, he had left home to partake in a series of U.S. national tours.[2] A short time later, he worked on Broadway where he played leading parts in The Full Monty (2002) and Les Misérables (2003).[3] Diamantopoulos attended East York Collegiate Institute.

He portrayed Robin Williams in Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of Mork & Mindy alongside co-star Erinn Hayes. He has guest-starred in several series, including Kevin Hill, Charmed, The Sopranos, Nip/Tuck and Boston Legal. In 2007, he appeared opposite Debra Messing in The Starter Wife, where he played the role of Rodney, the interior decorator.

Diamantopoulos had a recurring role on State of Mind. He also guest-voiced on American Dad! in 2009.

On the eighth season of 24, he played U.S. President Allison Taylor's Chief of Staff Rob Weiss. He played Frank Sinatra in The Kennedys. Diamantopoulos played Moe Howard in the 2012 The Three Stooges film.

Around sometime in 2013, Diamantopoulos voiced Mickey Mouse in the Mickey Mouse (TV series) and The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse. Although Bret Iwan voices Mickey the tv shows and others, Diamantopoulos gives Mickey a more similar voice that’s close to Walt Disney.

He had recurring roles on the NBC sitcoms Up All Night, as Maya Rudolph's on and off lover, Julian; The Office, as Brian, a former member of the show's documentary film crew (alongside future Silicon Valley cast member Zach Woods), and on Arrested Development, as Marky, Lindsay's face-blind environmentalist boyfriend.

He has featured in the UK/US television sitcom Episodes playing the part of TV network boss Castor Sotto, and Mr. Chris in the TV adaptation of About a Boy.

In 2017, Diamantopoulos starred in the musical Waitress on Broadway.

On October 11, 2018, it was revealed by TVLine that Diamantopoulos would have a role in the spin-off pilot for the situation comedy The Middle playing Sue Heck's mercurial, charming and rich boss Nick.[4]

Personal life

Diamantopoulos grew up splitting his time between Canada and Greece. He is of Greek descent and is a practicing member of the Greek Orthodox church, as well as speaking fluent Greek.[5][6]

He met his wife, actress Becki Newton, in a subway station in New York. The couple married on May 12, 2005.[7] Newton gave birth to their first child, a boy, in November 2010.[8] In 2014, they had a girl.[9]
