JayDon, formerly known as JD McCrary, is a dynamic rising star with deep roots in LA, known for his role as Kenny Payne in “The Paynes” and for voicing young Simba in the 2019 live-action movie of “The Lion King.”  JayDon is now focused on his music career, and we get to know him alittle better.

The Lion King is a 1994 American animated musical drama film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The 32nd Disney animated feature film and the fifth produced during the Disney Renaissance, it is inspired by William Shakespeare's Hamlet with elements from the Biblical stories of Joseph and Moses and Disney's 1942 film Bambi. The film was directed by Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff (in their feature directorial debuts) and produced by Don Hahn, from a screenplay written by Irene Mecchi, Jonathan Roberts, and Linda Woolverton. The film features an ensemble voice cast that includes Matthew Broderick, James Earl Jones, Jeremy Irons, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Nathan Lane, Ernie Sabella, Rowan Atkinson, and Robert Guillaume. Its original songs were written by composer Elton John and lyricist Tim Rice, with a score by Hans Zimmer.   The film has led to many derived works, such as a Broadway adaptation in 1997; two direct-to-video follow-ups—the sequel, The Lion King II: Simba's Pride (1998), and the prequel/parallel, The Lion King 1½ (2004); two television series, Timon and Pumbaa and The Lion Guard; and a photorealistic remake in 2019, which also became the highest-grossing animated film at the time of its release. In 2016, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".  The Lion King is the first Disney film to have been dubbed in Zulu, the only African language aside from Arabic to have been used for a feature-length Disney dub.     The Lion King is a 2019 American musical drama film directed and co-produced by Jon Favreau, written by Jeff Nathanson, and produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Fairview Entertainment. It is a photorealistic computer-animated remake of Disney's traditionally animated 1994 film of the same name. The film stars the voices of Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Alfre Woodard, Billy Eichner, John Kani, John Oliver, Florence Kasumba, Eric André, Keegan-Michael Key, JD McCrary, Shahadi Wright Joseph, with Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, and James Earl Jones reprising his role from the original film.   Plans for a remake of 1994's The Lion King were confirmed in September 2016 with Favreau attached to directed following box office successes for Disney remakes such as The Jungle Book (2016), which was also directed by Favreau. Disney hired Nathanson to write the screenplay in October 2016. Favreau was inspired by certain roles of characters in the Broadway adaptation and developed upon elements of the original film's story. Much of the main cast signed in early 2017, and principal photography began in mid-2017 on a blue screen stage in Los Angeles. The "virtual-reality tools" utilized in The Jungle Book's cinematography were used to a greater degree during filming of The Lion King. Composers Hans Zimmer, Elton John, and lyricist Tim Rice, all of whom worked on the original's soundtrack, returned to compose the score alongside Knowles-Carter, who assisted John in the reworking of the soundtrack and wrote a new song for the film, titled "Spirit", which she also performed. The film serves as the final credit for editor Mark Livolsi, and it is dedicated to his memory. With an estimated budget of around $260 million, The Lion King is one of the most expensive films ever made.   Opening Credits; Introduction (.37); Background History (1:02.08); The Lion King (19940 Trailer (1;05.30); The Original (1:06.41); Let's Rate (1:51.58); INTERMISSON:  (1:56.58) Introducing a Film (2:07.01); The Lion King (2019) Film Trailer (2:04.06); Lights, Camera, Action (2:05.51); How Many Stars (2:43.21); End Credits (2:58.34); Closing Credits (2:59.34)   Opening Credits– Epidemic Sound – Copyright .

So much of this industry is about connections.” “I think you should get involved in short films if you can, so you start to develop a reel.” “It’s more important than ever to have a great self-tape setup. It doesn’t have to cost a lot.” “Trust that your agent or manager are doing everything they can to get you seen.” “Your rep should be passionate about you.” “If you want to be a great theatre actor, go to college.” You should do community theatre. It’s great. That’s the first step to getting over stage fright.” “Patience is very important in this industry.” “Win the room, not the role. If you win the room, they’ll keep calling you back over and over.”     Follow Sherry Kayne here:   Website:                     https://moxieartists.com/   Instagram:                 @sherrykayne

From Disney “Live Action,” director Jon Favreau's all-new "The Lion King" journeys to the African savanna where a future king is born. Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub's arrival. Scar, Mufasa's brother-and former heir to the throne-has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba's exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his.Director: Jon FavreauWriters: Jeff Nathanson (screenplay by), Brenda ChapmanStarring:Donald Glover...Simba (voice)Beyoncé...Nala (voice) (as Beyoncé Knowles-Carter)Chiwetel Ejiofor...Scar (voice)John Oliver...Zazu (voice)James Earl Jones...Mufasa (voice)John Kani...Rafiki (voice)Alfre Woodard...Sarabi (voice)JD McCrary...Young Simba (voice)Shahadi Wright Joseph...Young Nala (voice)Penny Johnson Jerald...Sarafina (voice)Keegan-Michael Key...Kamari (voice)Eric André...Azizi (voice)Florence Kasumba...Shenzi (voice)Seth Rogen...Pumbaa (voice)Billy Eichner...Timon (voice)Chance the Rapper...Bush Baby (voice) (as Chance Bennett)We discuss Disney's "live action" The Lion King.

The Lion King opens tonight in theaters nationwide and is expected to grab a big part of the box office this weekend. It Just Can't-Wait To Be King--- of the box office. See what I did there? I sat down for an interview with the young stars of the movie, Shahadi Wright Joseph and JD McCrary, during their Washington, DC press stop. The Lion King Parent Movie Review: https://noguiltfangirl.com/the-lion-king-parent-movie-review/ We talked a little Disney, what it's like to be part of the cast, and how many times they got to meet Beyonce (because, duh!). But my favorite part of the interview is when they talked about their dream roles someday. These kids aren't afraid to put goals out into the universe! You can find more from both of these artists through their music: Shine, Keep in Touch, and My Name from JD McCrary and Skin I'm In from Shahadi Wright Joseph
