I’m excited to share a piece of good news in my acting career: I’ve been cast as the Giant in Theatre West’s Storybook Theatre production of Jack and the Beanstalk! After a long stretch of professional frustration (especially in my voiceover career stagnating due to loss of SO much of that work to AI) this is "big" and exciting news about putting my "bigness" to use in my career.
For those unfamiliar, Storybook Theatre is a beloved Los Angeles tradition: a long-running series of interactive musicals for children, produced by Theatre West, the city’s oldest continually operating theatre company (and one I’m proud to call my artistic home).
This will be my first professional Equity theatre production, and while it’s a show for kids, the significance isn’t lost on me. After so much time feeling stuck (sending out auditions, chasing voiceover leads, and watching AI voices take over gigs that used to go to real performers) it’s deeply rewarding to be reminded of what this work is really about: connecting with a live audience, sparking imagination, and bringing stories to life.
The show is double-cast, meaning I’ll be performing as the Giant in alternating performances. That helps accommodate everyone’s unpredictable schedules, since Storybook Theatre often adds special performances for school field trips and birthday parties. So, if you’re thinking of bringing your kids to see Jack and the Beanstalk, definitely check with me first to make sure I’m performing that day!
