Owen Thiele dishes on Disney Channel crushes and the theater kid to ‘Theater Camp’ pipeline
Theater Camp (starring opposite fiancés Ben Platt and Noah Galvin) as the delightfully named Gigi Charbonier, a counselor at Stagedoor Manor-esque summer camp for musically gifted kids.Even among a killer ensemble of seasoned performers and scene-stealers, Thiele’s a breakout star in his first major film role. But that should be no surprise to anyone who first discovered his comedic chops through Cazzie David’s (the daughter of Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm creator Larry David) web series Eight-Sixed, or has followed his hilarious antics on Instagram.Since then, Thiele has has memorable turns in Hacks, Dollface, Netflix sketch comedy I Think You Should Leave, and more.
