Aaron Dorelien

Aaron (he/him) is an actor/musician who loved playing pretend as a child more than anything else in the world; clearly, he never got over it. As a graduate of Fordham University with a double major in Theatre Performance and Psychology, all Aaron wants to do through his acting is tell a story that connects to the inner child we all keep locked away (and maybe make somebody cry in the process); after all, it’s mostly cheaper than therapy. A jazz drummer since 12 years old, Aaron can only hope his acting lays a good groove for the audience’s hearts to dance along to. He’s also a giant anime nerd (he’s still grieving over the recent Jujutsu Kaisen chapters) and spends his free time with his friends or reading webcomics.
