Todd Dechter is an actor, entertainment executive, singer/songwriter, and Co-Founder & Secretary of Threefold Artists, Inc.
Todd’s love of theatre began at age 15 in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, when he was cast as Oswald in Shakespeare’s King Lear. That experience launched a lifelong connection to the stage, leading to roles in numerous theatrical productions, including Oliver!, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Twelfth Night, Guys and Dolls, Much Ado About Nothing, and King Lear. He also appeared in the BBC-produced A Child’s Dream and was awarded the Group Gold Medal Award for his performance as King Lear at the 1984 Southern California Shakespeare Festival.
Among the highlights of his early career was performing in the Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse musical The Roar of the Greasepaint – The Smell of the Crowd at the Megaw Theatre. Todd later studied acting and theatre at Pierce College and the American Theatre Arts Conservatory.
Beyond the stage, Todd has built a career in the entertainment industry spanning film distribution, production, and executive leadership. He served as Executive Producer of the 1994 musical docudrama Hope: The Song of David and later as Executive Vice President of Stand In-The-Gap Productions. A singer/songwriter as well as an actor, Todd has written dozens of original songs and has performed throughout Southern California for more than 40 years.
Todd’s commitment to service has also included work with and on behalf of a number of philanthropic organizations. As Co-Founder and Secretary of Threefold Artists, he brings together his lifelong love of theatre, entertainment experience, and belief in the power of live performance to inspire, connect, and bring joy to the communities Threefold serves.
