“Part of the reason I did ‘The Voice’ is because of Pittsburgh. I was talking to my family and to Zachary Quinto, whom my cousin was dating at the time. He went to Carnegie Mellon, and in a weird butterfly-effect way, if he wouldn’t have gone, he wouldn’t have influenced me to go, and I wouldn’t have done this,” Wolpert said. (x)
Discovering musical theater in high school was an even bigger influence. His two favorites are “Les Miserables” and “Spring Awakening,” but he was probably biased toward the latter. Its original star and Tony Award nominee, Jonathan Groff, is Mr. Wolpert’s cousin.
In fact, late last year Mr. Groff and then-boyfriend, Pittsburgh native Zachary Quinto, stopped by the Apple Store on Walnut Street, where Mr. Wolpert worked.
"They actually pushed me over the edge [to audition]," he said
