Big Fish

He's been performing almost as long as he could walk.

And in the last year, he's played in Oklahoma and Big Fish and went on to the Jimmy Awards in New York after winning the Discovery Award for Northeastern Oklahoma.

He's a five-year alum of the Kristen Chenoweth Broadway Boot Camp, a recent graduate of Fort Gibson High School, and he's heading to the University of Michigan this fall to study music theater, one of the most competitive programs in the country.

Today, we talk about the journey so far, the whirlwind of the Jimmys, and the big future ahead.

You know, I've loved it ever since.

I've been in every production Fort Gibson has had since my dawn of time.

And Big Fish was my last one.

And so it's it's crazy.

According to the internet, in the interwebs, he is one of only nine actors to achieve that honor.

His musical theater Broadway credits are many, and they include Rent, Thou Shall Not, Wicked, Big Fish, My Fair Lady, and soon to return to the Broadway boards with Hadestown starring as Hermes.

But again, those are just the musical.

As far as plays, Dead Accounts, Enron, Speed the Plow, He Is Dead, and then there are all these acclaimed off-Broadway credits.

Poteet? I'm doing Big Fish, the musical.

Okay.

It's auditions.

It speaks to me.

It's kind of my, I tend to lean towards like darker things.

And Big Fish has a lot of fantasy, but it's a pretty dark story about facing death.

And I love things about families.

Big.
