What’s Your Limp?

Major Attaway: Navigating Racial Stereotypes in Theater

Major Attaway Episode 68

Ask Jordan a question!

In this episode of What's Your Limp? Jordan chats with actor Major Attaway, who was the longest tenured Genie on Broadway in Disney's Aladdin and has lended his voice talents to animated projects such as Borderlands 3 and One Piece.

Major and Jordan grew up doing local theater together in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex and this was the first time they caught up in over 20 years. Just a week after the podcast, the two of them were honored at the Walk of Fame unveiling at Theatre Arlington, one of the venues where they performed together as children.

Major opens up about balancing expectations of family and people in his community with his big dreams and ambitions, the ups and downs of this business and much more!
