I chose to play Captain Fray in Rigamaroll as a daring, heroic, suave leader, but you can’t have everything. A horse and a spaceship are two really different things, and in this clip you see just how different they are.

A photo taken at a restaurant table, the walls are a beige brick with warm wall lights aiming down. At the table we see about six people smiling and posing for the photo. Their table has some drinks, a to-go brown bag, some bowls, and a bottle of olive oil.

Being a military officer in the USAF taught me to always accept my decisions as mine - no matter if the result was good or bad. In this clip from Rigamaroll, Captain Fray gives the young princess (played by Crystal Lee) an insight into what it means to be a leader.

A portrait image of voice actor Joe Zieja, an adult white male in a recording both, positioned next to a high quality microphone used for voice over. Joe is smiling at the camera with pearly whites, he has brown hair, a brown bear/moustache combo, and brown eyes. The photo is cropped such that the viewer only sees a bust-up of Joe.

A landscape photo featuring voice actor Joe Zieja. Joe is on the left side of the photo, taking up about a third of the image. Joe is an adult white male, sporting a beige t-shirt with a black lanyard. He has brown hair, brown eyes, and a brown moustache/beard combo. Joe is overlooking an overview of the MAGFest convention. There is a wide courtyard with greenery, tables with chairs, a fountain in the distance, and many people scattered about. In the far background is a massive tiled window overlooking a massive body of water and a blue sky.

Voice actor Joe Zieja smiles as he takes a photo with a beautiful bird suit stylized after the Rito race in the Legend of Zelda series. Joe is on the right, leaning a bit towards the Rito bird, who is on the left. The bird suit reminds us of an eagle, the beak is yellow with a brow hooked tip aiming down. the bird has blue eyes with red circles around them, and a brownish red suit of feathers. the rito does have a beautiful brown wig of plumage on top its head!

On our left is human voice actor JOE ZIEJA, sporting a lovely black shirt and making a pointing gesture towards the video game character on the right. Joe has a smirk on his face and his eyes are also looking towards the character. To his right, is Matteo, a young man with purple, short hair and a tan, woven beanie for a hat. Matteo is striking a side look as he looks towards his left (away from his body). He is wearing a white and purple shirt with some purple pants. The text on the top right reads INFINITY NIKKI and the text on the bottom right reads Joe Zieja, voice of Matteo.
