Actor Joberde Metellus currently appears in Shakespeare's 'Corionalus' in the role of Aedile, a Volscian soldier and a Roman citizen. The play is described as "post-apocalyptic 'Mad Max' dystopian telling of Shaekspeare's dynamic tale of the famous war hero's fall from grace. The people of Rome are starving, and threats of mutiny abound as a foreign army threatens to invade. The elder statesmen seek to appease the populace through political maneuvering while calling upon their
greatest war hero to defend against the enemy army. Caius Marcius
Coriolanus wins the battle on the field, but finds that winning the
people's affection is a much more difficult task, and the world of
politics can be deadlier than the world of war." |
Joberde has appeared in television shows 'Deadliest Warrior' and 'Lost Tapes.' Most recently, he played the role of Teofilo Stevenson in ESPN's '30 for 30' (Ali v. Stevenson). In his ow words, Joberde describes his passion for acting being ignited while watching "his father, a pastor, give speeches and
sermons, and admiring his father's ability to move a crowd." The young actor is fluent in Creole as well, so tout sineas Ayisyen ki bezwen yon bo gason, byen kanpe, bon akte pou fim yo, cheke Joberde!
