Walker Buckley

Walker is a dynamic 10-year-old who brings his vibrant energy to the stage at Orlando Shakes, marking his debut in professional performance. Growing up surrounded by the magic of the Orlando theme parks and performer parents, he discovered his passion for entertaining early on. His journey began on screen in 2022 with a social media spot alongside the Grinch for Universal Orlando. Eager to dive deeper into the world of theater, Walker auditioned for his high school’s production of A Christmas Carol and was cast as one of the kids in the ensemble. He quickly fell in love with performing, showcasing his talent as an Oompa Loompa in Willy Wonka and Kristoff in Frozen Jr. This spring, he looks forward to performing in his school’s drama club performance of Kids on Broadway. When asked what it felt like to take a bow on stage with an audience applause for the first time, he responded with, “I want to remember this feeling forever.” Walker’s journey has only just begun, and his enthusiasm for the arts is sure to shine bright!
