Our Swedish boy Jesper is a man of many voices as Disney Elite's voice impressionist extraordinaire, holding multiple character roles in the group as Tarzan, Dr. Facilier, and Gaston, and at the same time doing an excellent job leading it! He has a degree in Screenwriting which certainly comes in handy as writer and co-director of DE Productions. He also played the roles of King Triton in The Little Mermaid, Captain Hook in Peter Pan, and Gaston in Beauty and the Beast. Aside from sharing his incredible acting talent, he also wrote the script, developed the beautiful twists and character arcs in the stories, and put together the base tracks for our cinematic audio plays.
