He is the voice of Crackle for Rice Krispies, and was the voice of the supporting role of Brad on the Nickelodeon series, My Life as a Teenage Robot.[2] In 2007, he was one of the final 12 contestants on Grease: You're the One That I Want!, a televised competition to choose the leads for the revival of Grease by Kathleen Marshall.

Early life and education[edit]

Doreck is the son of Stephan Doreck and Catherine Doreck, and has a brother and sister. A native of Southern California, Doreck first became interested in singing as part of a church congregation. His career began with the help of his aunt.[citation needed]

He took his first acting role at the age of six in the music video for Oingo Boingo's "Weird Science".[citation needed] Doreck graduated from the Orange County School of the Arts, majoring in musical theatre. He briefly attended the University of Southern California.

Grease: You're the One That I Want![edit]

In 2007, Doreck was one of the final 12 contestants on Grease: You're the One That I Want!, a televised competition to choose the leads for the revival of Grease by Kathleen Marshall. On duet night (February 18, 2007), Doreck performed alongside fellow competitor Allie Schulz. The two were both praised for their chemistry and for their high-energy performance; judge David Ian referred to their performance as "theatrical Viagra".

On February 25, 2007, he was in the bottom four along with Kevin. The judges chose to save Doreck, putting him in the final four male contestants competing for the lead role of Danny Zuko. On March 11, 2007, Doreck was eliminated from the competition. His performances included:

  1. "Hound Dog" by Elvis Presley
  2. "Signed Sealed Delivered" by Stevie Wonder
