Title: Tokeo E. Jamison
Summary: Actor Tokeo Jamison has performed in plays such as Showboat, Annie, Arsenic and Old Lace, and he just completed a run on stage performing as Max Detweiler in Statesville’s rendition of The Sound of Music. He explains that he almost didn’t audition for the role, due to a long absence in performing. He almost let his nerves get the best of him, but he showed what can happen if you don’t give up on following your dreams. It pays to take a risk and put yourself out there, because as Tokeo explained, reading the script with the casting directors felt like being home. And once he performed at the show, the energy he received from the crowd was amazing. He looks back at how his journey started, which includes writing his first play when he was only thirteen years old.
