Iām the worst with career updates, but I guess I should publicly announced that two weeks ago, I started an incredible journey with the @lesmizus National Tour. Tonight, I'll officially join them onstage here in Columbus, OH. I am feeling grateful and blessed for this opportunity. A special thanks to my new castmates for all their positive support as I got up to speed. Check the website to see if I'll be performing near you soon. Excited to join the fight at the barricade tonight. š«š· š„#lesmis #lesmiserables

A quick story from set. In the script, I had to eat twice. The excellent props team came and put a bucket under the desk for me in case I needed to spit out half-eaten shrimp if the director yelled ācutā mid-scene. Growing up in the Tidewater region of VA, seafood is a major food group. Therefore, I politely said to the props team, āThis wonāt be necessary.ā Rest assured, I ate those shrimps!

āHere she is, boys! Here she is, world! Hereās Announcer #2!ā
Happy to share a commercial that I had the privilege of being a part of. It so happens to be my first national commercial, and if you know me, you know I love seafood, so this couldnāt have been a better gig. Thanks to @shadowcastingtv@nbc and of course @gortonsseafood
This year marks 23 years since @wliverman15 and I have known each other, and I say this confidently: Heās the most talented person Iāve had the pleasure of knowing. But what truly makes him the person he is are his humility, kindness, and sense of humor. Our journeys into this career started at the same place back at @govschool2 , and seeing what he's been able to do and what he has planned is something I deeply admire. Will, youāve invited me to do several projects with you, and Iām never hesitant to say āyes.ā Thank you for asking me to join you on this significant project, even if that meant screaming at the top of my register at 10 am š.
Highly recommend giving this new album, along with Dunbar/Moore Session Volume I, a listen! š§

š„ MOVIE DEBUT š„
Fifteen months went by, and I almost forgot that I shot a scene in the new āBlueās Big City Adventureā feature film.
The description for this character was āOpera Broadway Audition Person,ā who gets cut. I know that character very well, so it was an easy sell, lol. Iāve never done tv/film, but everyone on set couldnāt have been nicer. Special thanks to @encompassarts !
If you have little ones, grew up with the franchise, or just wanna see little olā me on your screen, then go over to Paramount+

We open āX: The Life and Times of Malcolm Xā tonight in the city of his birth, Omaha, Nebraska. It has been an honor and privilege even to attempt to step into the shoes of Malcolm X. Big thanks to this cast for keeping me lifted during this remounting.
(Canāt forget to thank my friend @johnarida for helping me get this role together)
