Meet the "Frankenstein" Cast - Ty Wold and Nicolas Nelson

It's the final weekend for Frankenstein at TLT, and we'd like to introduce you to two more of our cast members.

Meet Ty Wold

If you're mostly familiar with the old Boris Karloff version of Frankenstein you might be surprised to learn that Mary Shelley's Creature was not only intelligent, but also articulate. After Victor casts him out the Creature finds a friend and mentor in the blind hermit, Delacey. Delacey teaches the Creature to speak, among other things.

Delacey is played by Ty Wold, a TLT veteran. You may remember Ty from Witness for the Prosecution, Cabaret, or last year's production of 12 Angry Men. Ty is also a member of the TLT Board.

Tell us a little about who you are when you're not on stage.
I work in radio as the Key Accountant Manager at Cumulus Tallahassee.

 How did you first get involved in theater?
First as a kid, then as a high schooler, and then the last 33 years in Tallahassee.

What do you love most about acting?
The opportunity to be character and tell stories that entertain, inspire, and make people smile.

What has been the most challenging aspect of this show for you?
The fight choreography.

What would you say to encourage someone to try acting?
Just do it! Plus, Tallahassee has some great coaches.

Meet Nicolas Nelson

As Victor Frankenstein's little brother, William, Nicolas has some very intense and scary moments on stage. It's a big job for a young actor. But Nicolas isn't a stranger to the stage. He previously played a newsboy in It's a Wonderful Life, and Tiny Tim in A Christmas Carol.

Tell us a little about who you are when you're not on stage.
I'm a video game and Lego fanatic.

How did you first get involved in theater? 

Young Actors and my parents.

What do you love most about acting?  

People staring at me.

What drew you to Frankenstein?  
My first death scene.

What has been the most challenging aspect of this show for you?  
Accents.

What would you say to encourage someone to try acting?
