Jesse Corti (born July 3, 1955)[1] is an American actor and theater director known for playing Courfeyrac in the original Broadway show Les Misérables and for voicing LeFou in Beauty and the Beast.[2][3]

Career

[edit]

Corti also voiced the Spanish Dignitary in Frozen and Mr. Manchas in Zootopia. He has appeared in numerous feature films, and in several popular television series such as 24, Heroes, Desperate Housewives, The West Wing, Judging Amy, and Law & Order. In 1990, he received a Clio Award for his Drug Free America commercial. Corti has also directed various stage productions in Los Angeles.[4]

Personal life

[edit]

Corti was previously married to Laura Lyn Deberardino, whom he wed in 1986. Deberardino was killed a year later in a 1987 collision between an Amtrak train and a Conrail freight train in Chase, Maryland.[5] At that time, Deberardino had been returning to New York City after having seen her husband perform in Les Misérables at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. The crew of the freight train tested positive for marijuana, and Corti subsequently appeared in both an English-language and a Spanish-language public service announcement for Partnership for a Drug-Free America.[6]
