Bryan Batt (born March 1, 1963, in New Orleans, Louisiana) is an American actor known mostly for his theater work, but he has had a number of starring roles in movies and television as well. His performance in the stage adaptation of "Saturday Night Fever" earned him one of New York City's more unusual honors, a caricature at Sardi's." [http://www.playbill.com/news/article/50185.html Bryan Batt & Kristin Chenoweth Get Hung Up At Sardi's Jan. 20] ", "Playbill". January 21, 2000.]

Batt currently appears in the AMC series "Mad Men" as Salvatore, a closeted homosexual advertising executive. Batt, who is himself openly gay, has played gay roles on film ("Jeffrey" and "Kiss Me, Guido") and stage ("La Cage aux Folles"). In 2005, Batt told "Playbill" that he used to worry about the effect of coming out on his career: "When I played the lead in "Sunset Blvd.", the movie of "Jeffrey" was coming out, and I was petrified. Back then, every agent told you that if you want to play a straight role, you don’t come out. This was before [Ellen DeGeneres|Ellen [DeGeneres] came out. But now I couldn't give a rat’s ass. It’s normal to be gay."" [http://www.playbill.com/news/article/95469.html The Leading Men: Going to Batt] ", "Playbill", Wayman Wong. October 3, 2005.]

Batt lives with his partner, Tom Cianfichi, an events planner."
