American Idiot was very much like that time in the world, right after Sept. 11th…It was like a time of not knowing what to feel and that’s what spawned this show.” In a 2013 interview, Epstein identified Will as the most challenging role he had ever played. He said, “I sat on a couch and never left the stage for the majority of the show.

He has an older sister, Gabi, an actress and jazz singer. Epstein is Jewish and was raised in Conservative Judaism. Epstein stated in 2019, “I would consider myself spiritually Jewish rather than religiously Jewish. It was certainly a big part of my upbringing and certainly a big part of my identity.”

In July 2011 Epstein played Billy’s older brother in a Toronto production of Billy Elliot the Musical. He spoke about working with alternate leads, “The most unique part of this show is working with a new Billy every night. Every Billy is different.

Epstein made his Broadway debut in Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark as the alternate for lead role Peter Parker/Spider-Man. He joined the company on December 4, 2012, and performed Saturday and Sunday matinees, with his first show taking place on December 8 at the Foxwoods Theatre.

Epstein said, “I’m trying to make his struggle clear, so people understand why he did the things he did. He’s not just a villain. I hope people see it’s more complicated than that.” He remained with the cast until September 21, 2014.

He left Degrassi during the fifth season to attend the National Theatre School of Canada in Montreal and made theater his new focus.

He replaced Kyle Riabko as Melchior Gabor in the First National Tour of Spring Awakening, officially beginning his run on July 7, 2009. Epstein commented on the show, “I think it really doesn’t talk down to its audience. I think it portrays teen sexuality in a way that’s real, in a way that’s entertaining, and in a way that’s just really connects with people. Spring Awakening really doesn’t hold back, and I think people appreciate that.”

Epstein made his professional stage debut in a Soulpepper Theatre Company production of Our Town at the Royal Alexandra Theatre before playing the Artful Dodger in Mirvish Productions’ stage production of Oliver! After appearing on the TV show The Zack Files, he played Craig Manning on Degrassi: The Next Generation for five seasons and won the Gemini Award.

Epstein said, “At the time, mental illness was not really something anyone was talking about. There was a huge stigma attached — I had never seen [bipolar disorder] on TV, and certainly not in a teenager. I loved the opportunity to portray someone who was conflicted and not perfect…” Craig impregnated a girl named Manny who gets an abortion, and Epstein noted that those episodes were “initially banned” in the United States. Epstein indicated that he “got the chance to really flesh out this guy that felt like a darker extension of me.”

In 2016 Epstein starred as a closeted gay man in the off-Broadway show Straight. He spoke about the script, “What resonated with me is how a straight person is just a person, but a gay person is a gay person—it’s part of the title you give somebody…I thought the whole angle that the play takes about not a fear of coming out but a fear of definition, a fear of being labeled as a gay man, was an argument that’s not really made in our sort of post-acceptance society. It’s not about a guy who’s afraid of coming out; it’s about a guy who’s not connected with quote-unquote ‘gay culture.’” Critic Michael Glitz described Epstein’s performance as “immensely appealing” and wrote that the three-member cast “elevated the show considerably with their charm and chemistry, led by Epstein’s increasingly substantial stage chops.” New York Times critic Andy Webster wrote, “Mr. Epstein ably embodies a vaguely passive-aggressive, noncommittal male archetype.”
