« Lead your pride to Disneyland Paris and ‘be prepared’ to live iconic moments from The Lion King like you’ve never lived them before. Immerse yourself in a brand new, world-exclusive stage show shaking and swaying to the sound of beating drums and hypnotic rhythms. And jump, swing and roar as a tribe of singers, dancers and acrobats dressed as Rafiki, Simba, Timon, Pumbaa, Nala, Mufasa and Scar brilliantly bring famous anthems of Pride Rock to life before your very eyes. »
From early September 2023 to late March 2024, I had the greatest honor of my career (so far), traveling around the world to perform at Disneyland Paris in Season 7 of their highly celebrated stage show, « Le Roi Lion et les Rythmes de la Terre » portraying everyone’s favorite “young warthog” all grown up — Pumbaa.

The Owen Show is a comedic short film in the style of a tongue-in-cheek 90’s sitcom created for the Hampton Roads chapter of The 48 Hour Film Project, which not only ultimately won the contest’s Award for “Best Film of 2024” but I was also incredibly honored to individually win the “Best Supporting Actor” Award for my role as Famed Chef/Dad, George Smithson!
My Monologue from The Owen Show
Director: Nicolas Minas, Assistant Director: Maryanne Kiley
“When theater critic Mortimer Brewster comes home to announce his engagement, he discovers his two spinster aunts’ macabre secret: their penchant for poisoning lonely old men as an act of mercy! …Between grappling with family loyalty or obeying the law, it will be a miracle if Mortimer makes it to his own wedding. This madcap comedy is sure to keep audiences laughing and on the edge of their seats!”
The original play that inspired the Classic 1944 film, starring Carey Grant, Priscilla Lane, and Peter Lorre. My 1st project back in the States/Virginia after returning from France! It was an honor to play such a lighthearted character like Officer [Pat] Brophy and to have a fun partner in Officer Klein (portrayed by the talented, Dan Cimo) to play off of. It was an honor to finally make my debut on the Wells Theatre stage, here’s hoping it won’t be the last time.

A New Musical by Ron Klipp
Directed by Foster Solomon; Musical Direction by Billy Dye
Based on the true and lesser-known Richmond story about historical events in the Summer of 1800 and the state-wide plot by enslaved Virginians to overthrow the entire system which has entrapped them and assert their freedom. On a tobacco plantation in Henrico, the conspiracy was led by a twenty-four year old enslaved, literate blacksmith named…Gabriel.
It was my honor to play the titular role in two workshops for this production, after which I originated the supporting role of Jack Ditcher when the World Premiere took place in the Autumn of 2022. It was & always will be a blessing to me that I got to help bring this relatively unknown historical figure & his history into the spotlight for many who otherwise may have not ever known.

The SCP Foundation is a collaborative fiction project where users from across the world create stories and entries, similar to the creepypasta community; however, unlike “creepypastas”, format plays a large role in the SCP community, most entries are written in a government dossier style document, detailing an anomalous object that has been “secured” by the fictional “Foundation”. SCP Archives is taking these stories and giving them the audio drama treatment. Whether you’re following a team as they try to capture an alien monster, or listening to the diary of a man trapped in a hellish living IKEA, each segment will feature full immersive sound design to give as much depth as possible to these tales.
I’m proud to have voiced a number of characters over the years on this great podcast!

At the end of 2021, I completed my 1st Animated Voiceover venture! I had the honor of providing the voice for a stoic, papa white tiger, named Raj. Season 2 of Lil Wild centers around the series’ beloved white tiger cub, Meep missing his father from whom he was separated some time ago, but has renewed hope of reuniting with him when he hears word that another tiger was found and is being held in quarantine at the titular zoological park. Enter Pixel, a massive tech entrepreneur who “loves animals” and only wants to help make Lil Wild Park a technological paradise for all, but are her intentions wholly pure? Will Meep & Raj have their long-awaited reunion? You’ll have to watch & find out for yourself, which you can do at the link below.
Playing Raj was truly a blessing, and marks my 1st time working with the awesome team at Stereo Couture! I certainly hope this won’t be the last time working with them or doing voiceover for animation.
One of my Favorite episodes from Season 2!
[Spoiler Alert] Raj & Meep reunite at the beginning of this episode! Around 1:09, Meep finds his dad and Raj recaps his journey to their present situation.
