Filmed stage production
Hamilton is a filmed stage production, not a conventional narrative film. Groff plays King George III. Disney’s production notes cover the 2020 filmed version. Because it is a recording of a stage show, it sits in a separate category from the feature films above.

Voice and animated roles
Groff’s voice work is mostly in Disney animation, with a few other animated credits:
- Frozen (2013) and Frozen II (2019): Kristoff.
- Ultraman: Rising (2024): a voice role. The character name is listed inconsistently across sources.
- Animated and platform credits listed by BroadwayWorld but not confirmed in detail: Lego Frozen Northern Lights, O.T.P., and And Just Like That…. The format, episode count, and role for each should be checked against the program’s own credits before you rely on them.
Where the list is incomplete
The sources reviewed do not settle every recent, short-form, or uncredited appearance. Shorts, anthology episodes, promotional appearances, and very small guest roles are not systematically covered here. For a credit that matters to you, check the end credits of the title or its entry on a film database. Also note that character names and years can differ between sources, and the table above flags the cases where they do.
Rank #2
Several titles in this guide are recent. Credits for projects released after October 2026 are not reflected.
