On TV and Broadway, rising-star actor Conrad Ricamora faces rocky romance.
“Pat Benatar had it right, love is a battlefield,” he says. “And that’s why there are so many stories of people wanting to be together but facing obstacles.”
In the Tony-winning revival of “The King and I,” Ricamora plays Lun Tha, a lovestruck scholar who pays dearly for his romance with Tuptim, who’s marrying the monarch.
On “How to Get Away with Murder,” he plays Oliver, a gay computer geek dealing with being HIV-positive and boyfriend troubles.
Juggling roles means he keeps a suitcase packed — and red-eye flights for Ricamora, who broke through in Fatboy Slim and David Byrne’s disco-dappled Off-Broadway musical about Imelda Marcos, “Here Lies Love.”
Ricamora won a 2013 Theatre World Award for his performances as revolutionary Ninoy Aquino.
