Kroydell was originally born in the Philippines, but grew up here in Chicago and is still happy to call it home. As a kid, he and his cousins would entertain their families by putting on a Christmas show every year involving comedy sketches and song parodies which spawned his love to entertain people. It wasn't until high school that he decided to take this love to the stage by trying out for the fall musical, 1776. He played John Hancock and has never looked back going on to be recognized by the IHSA in numerous high school competition plays. He went on to attend The Theatre School at DePaul University and graduated in 2009 with his BFA in Acting.  Some credits there include Stanley in Richard III directed by Catherine Weidner, Orlando in Conduct of Life, Tim inThe Distance From Here directed by Jason Beck, and Humpty Dumpty in Alice in Wonderland directed by Sean Graney. He is honored to have been taught and directed by some of the best in this city. Upon graduation, he has worked around the city having done some industrial work, a commercial for Indiana Tech and has appeared on the stage in Tympanic Theatre Company's Bastards of Young Short Play Festival, Adventure Stage Chicago's Ghosts of Treasure Island as Jim Hawkins directed by Amanda Delheimer, and participated in the Victory Gardens Ignition Festival (Edith Can Shoot Things and Hit Them directed by Lisa Peterson). And he's keeping himself busy appearing next in Emerald City Theatre Company's Charlie & The Chocolate Factoryas Mike Teavee directed by Ernie Nolan, Erasing The Distance's Falling Petals, and Theatre Seven's Chicago Landmark Project, A series of short plays. Believing that an actor's training never ends he recently took classes with Profiles Theatre where he was instructed by Darrell W. Cox and Rick Snyder and also an audition workshop with Janet Brooks. He is absolutely thrilled to be a part of Gray Talent Group and sends love to his family and friends who, without them, would be unable to live this dream.

When he's not acting you can catch him at the coffee shop he works at making latte art. That said, he is also a coffee enthusiast. He also writes, plays video games, sees lots of movies, and enjoys the occasional random adventure.
