ACTING
Aaron is an accomplished and versatile actor who has played parts in music videos, television, and even movies. Capturing attention with his stage performance, he wins his audience with a charismatic style all his own.
He played Herbie Hancock in the hit Netflix series “I Think You Should Leave”, played alongside Gene Hackman in the feature film “Split Decisions”, and starred in his own production of “Into the Cole”, a tribute to the legendary crooner Nat King Cole. It’s been described as “a musical journey through some of Nat King Cole’s Greatest Hits” and “a unique and expertly crafted tribute, applauded by critics as well as the late Carole Cole”.
The 70-minute performance is backed by a three-instrument arrangement with musical director Chris Glik on piano, Bobby Barron on drums, and Ravi Knypstra on bass. It features such songs as “Mona Lisa”, “I Love You For Sentimental Reasons”, “Nature Boy”, and “The Christmas Song”, the last of which was written by Mel Torme specifically for Cole’s unique vocal delivery and is met with almost identical perfection by Akins.
