I have a question
the kid who was the "ORIGINAL" Young Simba in the wouldn't he be at that age now where he could come back and play Older Simba?
I think that would be cool to see someone who played Young Simba to comeback and play the older Simba.

Maybe. If he could sing it.
I can't look at this thread without thinking of poor Jason Raize.
Scott is in a band and they are releasing an album soon

Wildcat- i was thinking the same thing.
What's the name of the band? And exactly HOW old is he now? Doesn't seem like he's quite old enough yet....you have any pictures?
And yes, God Bless Jason Raize.
Jason Raize, what a talented guy! May he rest in peace.

Scott Irby-Ranniar. He is such a great talent! I thought he was great as Young Simba in THE LION KING.
And yes, RIP Jason Raize. I feel lucky that I got to see him in THE LION KING, too.

Just a little TLK trivia: The ACTUALL orig. Young Simba that did the workshops couldnt do the Bway production because his voice changed. I know that he wasnt REALLY the orig., but I thought I'd share that with yall.
That is REALLY great for him though.
I also thought the same thing(about Jason Raize) wehn I saw this. God gless him and his family and friends.

Hey FosseBoi!
Wow thats interesting about Simba, but in the words of Mike Brady "When it's time to change you have to reARRAnge!"...sorry I'm a dork, if you've seen that episode of The Brady Bunch you'll understand.
Sorry I didn't get to see Carousel I hoped it went well. I couldn't make it for some reason I think we had our Cabaret that night and Suessical was the night before, but I wish I saw it. Ah well I hope all is well. yay Rome GA...not!
Does anyone have a their CD and can he still sing?

So who was he?
(Isn't that like saying Steve Harley was the original Phantom?
