     Performing the role of Jameson, ANDRÉS ROBLEDO is an actor and treasure hunter out of Brooklyn. His dream is to show the world that it’s not broken, it’s actually utterly delicious, and worth savoring every moment. Past credits include puppeteering a raptor in Jurassic World Live, fight choreographing a new rendition of “The Hunchback...” performed in English and ASL by hearing and non-hearing actors, and a bunch of Shakespeare readings with like-minded miscreants. He’s really happy to be a part of this project, he thinks it’s tops, the writer’s a mad genius, and it’s a whole lotta fun for the whole dang family. He’d like to thank Portrait, Waylon, Paranoid Larry, Jen, Ryan, 68 Jay street Bar and, above all, his sweetheart Cait for helping make all this possible. Let’s rule the world, together. --
