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. When Alkaio isn't acting he is playing team sports, singing or beatboxing, biking, hiking the California landscape, or playing out front with the neighborhood kids until the streetlights come on.
