Wex sits down with the multi-talented James Monroe Iglehart the Tony Award Winning Broadway Actor and Singer. He is best known for his Tony Award winning performance as the Original Genie of the Lamp in the hit show Aladdin. He is also one of the original performers from the wildly popular improv show Freestyle Love Supreme and has also played the dual role of Marquis de Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson in the smash hit Hamilton. Other credits include playing Billy Flynn in Chicago and just finished a run in Guys and Dolls as Nathan Detroit.
James is a staple in the Disney voice talent voicing characters for animated shows like Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure, Ducktales, Bubble Guppies, Roborockalypse and many many more. Not to mention the many guest spots on some of your favorite shows.
He is a huge fan of WWE, Marvel, Disney and we touched on all of it and even jumped into a hilarious riff on modern politics. 
This episode is being released on Veteran's Day and there are thousands of Vets who are struggling with PTSD. There have been over 30,000 suicides by service members since the tragedy of 9/11. Above that, there are people everyday that struggle with these thoughts and depression. I lost a dear friend on Oct 27 who thought that there was no other way. If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of depression, PTSD or suicide please know there is a literal army of people who want to help. You can pick up any phone and dial 988 to get a toll free hotline to get help. You are not alone and thank you to all those who are serving or have served in our US Armed Forces.
