Actors that I have met or seen perform live.
I've only decided to start a collection of playbills...last year, so my recollection is going to be spotty at the beginning. As a result, names are probably gonna be left off.
Broadway actors also have more empty IMDB profiles, so there will probably also be times where the profile I link to is not actually the performer that I saw.
Edit: Attended my first convention, so I'm adding in the actors that I've met & seen while I was there!

Levi Kreis was born and raised in Oliver Springs, TN. A prodigy piano player, classical composer and songwriter, he began touring regularly by age twelve. His sophomore year of high school he received a full scholarship to Vanderbilt University for classical piano under a pre-college program. After graduating, he transferred to Belmont University where he aspired to a career in gospel music. Unfortunately, being outed to his campus and consequently the gospel music industry he was forced to amend his dream.
A move to LA traded the religious closet for the entertainment closet and opportunities with major record labels would disappear once discovering Kreis had been outed. But an impulse to attend an open call audition for Rent - no headshot, no resume - would result in Kreis being cast as Roger in the Broadway national tour.

Levi's second audition landed him a leading role in the award winning film Don't Let Go with Katherine Ross and Scott Wilson. The film won Best Picture at the West Chester Film Festival, Outstanding Directorial Achievement at the Stony Brook Film Festival and a PRism Award in Los Angeles.

Kreis considered that while acting was never his dream, it was his future.
Now a Tony Award Winning actor, Kreis' undeniable charisma and vocal prowess make him a force in the world of theater. But recent film work has shifted Kreis' focus back to telling stories for the camera.
He returned to screen with A Very Sordid Wedding (2017). The picture won Best Comedy, Best Screenplay and Best Ensemble at the FilmOut Festival. He then filmed a modern western called The Divide (2018) which appeared in fifteen different film festivals garnering several awards and wide recognition.
