ABOUT
RJ
RJ Cecott (born Robert James Cecott) is a proud graduate of Illinois State University, where he received his Bachelors of Science in Acting in 2017.
Like most, RJ caught the acting bug at a young age, and continues to pursue roles that truly challenge him. He has been revered for his wide range of work, alongside his passion for the art and his ability to work effectively on multiple productions at a time. This has garnered him award nominations and wins for his work, throughout Chicago, Ohio, Tennessee, Florida and Indiana. His dedication shines through the rehearsal process, and he is always looking for that new piece to tackle.
In his free time, you can find RJ binging the latest Netflix show, finding the right meme to send to his friends, and eating his weight in bacon. He currently resides in the suburbs of Chicago.
