Alkaio Thiele

Alkaio (Al-KAY-oh) Thiele is a 12-year old actor, singer, and beatboxer from the San Francisco Bay Area and has been musical since he could make noise. At two years old he tied a shoebox around his neck and transformed into Disney's youngest marching drummer in his own reenactment of the Soundsational Parade! Every microphone (or even a look-alike) sent him into a rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" or "The Star-Spangled Banner."

Alkaio dabbled in performing arts at different points through his childhood, but it wasn't until he found I Can Do That! Performing Arts Center and was cast in their main stage High School Musical production, that he developed and decided to pursue a passion for acting. His deep emotion and introspection following his final performance led him to this conclusion: he never wanted that feeling to end. Within 3 months of making the decision to professionally pursue acting, he booked back-to-back feature film roles. His charisma, improvisation, and humor have made him an asset to each production and he has enjoyed the wide variety of--and the new friendships from--each new opportunity.
