Director Thomas Deja says, “David is such a complex character, with so many things going on both internally and externally. In Book One, he’s sort of in the background...but he’s connected by so many threads to all of our major players. In many ways, he’s the fulcrum that drives much of the drama in Terry’s masterpiece. We need a very versatile actor capable of handling the many shifts, and I think we found him.”
Riley Maness is Texas-born and Georgia raised, now residing in Athens, Georgia as a full-time college student, He found his way into voice acting back in March. He has a deep relationship with the arts, having performed as an actor, musician and comedian in his hometown for several years, and continued with improv and music at college. Voice acting came along and added itself to the expanding performance outlets he chooses from. When not performing, you can find him playing obscure board games or binging all the B rate horror films he can get his hands on.
“I'm ecstatic to have the chance to bring David to life,” Riley says. “Getting to play complex characters is always a joy; even more so when you get complex relations like the love triangle/rectangle of him with Francine, Katchoo and Casey. I'm eager to get into his backstory and show people who he is!”
OTW is also proud to add the voice talents of David Ellis (left)and Vanessa Van Zerr (right) to ou
r Repertory Company. David and Vanessa will be giving life to the short term characters along with Gene Hendricks and Chris Powell.
Production of Book One will begin later this month, with an intended release date of this holiday season. Please check in to this blog and on social media for future news and possible projects!
