About Me
Hello, my name is Weston Pytel, and I am an actor, which you probably already know. But I digress...
Born and raised in Connecticut, my performance journey began at the age of 10 with a YMCA arts program, Meriden Youth Theatre. MYT sparked my interest in the performing arts and helped set the foundation for my development as the performer I am today.
As an actor, I enjoy specializing in playing young leading men and larger-than-life comedic characters. In addition, I am always thrilled for the opportunity to utilize my skills as an actor/musician and puppeteer.
Since graduating from Nazareth University with my B.F.A. in Musical Theatre, I have performed with numerous regional theaters, including The REV Theatre Company, Cortland Repertory Theatre, Hangar Theatre Company, Priscilla Beach Theatre, and Majestic Theater.
Most recently, I portrayed Toto in The Wizard of Oz aboard Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas, joined Actors’ Equity, and moved to NYC!
In my daily life, I enjoy rewatching episodes of the greatest sitcom of all time (Frasier), cooking something new in the kitchen, and reading lots and lots of books.
I am incredibly grateful for all the family, friends, and mentors who have influenced me as a person and as an artist.
