This is Otto’s first show with Imagination Theater, but it’s
not the first time he’s ever heard of Lend
Me a Tenor. He was supposed play Tito 20 years ago in Los Angeles, but it
never came to fruition. He is very happy to be a part of this wonderful
production. Otto was last seen locally as Lord Evekyn Oakleigh in Modesto
Performing Arts production of Anything
Goes. He spent more than 20 years as a professional actor, working in
theatre companies across the country as well as in film, television, and
theatre in Los Angeles. Favorite roles include Falstaff in Henry IV, Part 1, Leonato in Much
Ado About Nothing, Dim and the Governor in the West Coast premiere of A Clockwork Orange, and other roles too
numerous to mention here. TV shows include Quantum
Leap, Mad About You, Knotts Landing,
and The Drew Carey Show. Film
appearances include All I Want For
Christmas, Some Folks Call It a
Slingblade, and The Dancing Cow. He has retired from
professional acting and now teaches English and Drama at Foothill High School
in Sacramento. Otto owes special thanks to his lovely Christy, who showed him
the audition notice and said, “You need to do something for you.”
