Giorgio Haddad

Hi there, I'm Giorgio Haddad, a 17-year-old actor with a passion for storytelling. I've been immersed in the world of acting since I was little, and it's been an incredible journey so far. I've had the opportunity to bring to life over 19 notable roles, including Lumiere from "Beauty and the Beast" the musical, Hans from "Frozen" the musical, Beast from "Beauty and the Beast" musical, old Simba from "The Lion King" musical, Chad from "High School Musical: The Musical," and many more. Beyond the stage, I've also ventured into the world of film, adding depth to my craft. Acting is not just a career for me; it's my calling, and I'm excited to see where this journey takes me next.
