10 Epic Lin-Manuel Miranda Projects That Made Him a Household Name

It's a rare project where Miranda is "just" an actor, rather than contributing to the music. That's exactly what he did for "Mary Poppins Returns," the 2018 Disney sequel to the beloved classic movie. Miranda plays a working-class lamplighter named Jack, who fills a similar role as Dick Van Dyke's chimney sweep Bert did in the original. Miranda earned a Golden Globe nomination for best actor in a motion picture (musical or comedy) for his work on the movie.
