Acting & Theatrical Drama:

Evaluating spoken language, public speaking, and dramatic expression to elevate theatrical performances.

A two-year contract at Tokyo Disney Resort playing Aladdin led to him becoming the first Australian cast member in Feld Entertainment’s Disney Live! for Mickey’s Music Festival. In children’s television, he has worked regularly with The Fairies (Channel 7/The Fairies PL), Bananas in Pyjamas (ABC), Giggle & Hoot (ABC), Sesame Street (SSW USA/TES), and Scooby Doo (TES).

Always eager to embrace new challenges, he looks forward to exploring fresh opportunities at national and international eisteddfods—continuing to celebrate, innovate, and elevate the performing arts on a global stage.
