Actor, singer and voiceover artist Alkaio (al-KAY-oh) Thiele (theel)
stars as Roman, Justin Russo’s oldest son, in “Wizards Beyond
Waverly Place,” a continuation of the Emmy® Award-winning
“Wizards of Waverly Place.”

Thiele began his professional acting career at the age of 11. Within
months of committing to the entertainment industry, he booked feature
film roles in “A Christmas Mystery” and festival award winner
“I’ll Be There,” quickly followed by his first television role
on “Call Me Kat,” alongside Mayim Bialik.

Thiele immediately made his mark in the world of animation as series
lead Janner in the fantasy-adventure series “The Wingfeather
Saga.” He fulfilled a childhood dream of becoming a superhero when
he became the voice of Spidey (aka Peter Parker) in seasons three and
four of “Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends,” and Jett in
the feature film “Super Wings: Maximum Speed.”

Thiele’s exceptional singing, dancing and improvisation have
afforded him numerous notable regional theater credits, including
Michael Hobbs in Ogunquit Playhouse’s “Elf the Musical,” Sam in
For the Record’s “Love Actually Live” and the Artful Dodger in
5-Star Theatricals’ “Oliver!”

When not immersed in professional projects, Thiele loves to sing,
bike, travel, hike, swim, climb, produce amateur short films, play
team sports, solve The New York Times puzzles, go to extreme lengths
to make people laugh, adventure with his family, watch every touring
Broadway musical, and participate in fellowship.

Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Thiele currently
resides in Los Angeles.
