Joe Wiegand
Joe Wiegand is the world’s premiere Theodore Roosevelt reprisor. As an actor and historian, Joe’s portrayals of Theodore Roosevelt in live performances have people wondering if TR has come back to life.
Joe Wiegand is a political science graduate of The University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. Joe launched his own business as a political campaign consultant and public policy expert and was working in public policy and running election campaigns when he began performing as Theodore Roosevelt in 2002.
In 2008, Joe, his wife, Jenny, daughter, Sam, and golden retriever, Faith, traveled across America in celebration of Theodore Roosevelt’s 150th birthday and the final centennial year of TR’s historic presidency. Performances at the White House and TR’s New York City birthplace highlighted the fifty-state adventure. Joe has been featured as President Roosevelt in “The Men Who Built America” on the History Channel, served as the model for the newest TR sculpture at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, and has a feature role in “National Parks Adventure” a film about our national parks still showing in IMAX theaters throughout the country.

In the come and the go, Teddy may have a chance to say hello, take a picture, visit a school, or take Theodore Roosevelt Association Teddy Bears to your local children’s hospital.

150th Anniversary Celebration, Island Falls, ME
In celebration of Island Fall’s sesquicentennial, Teddy Roosevelt returns to his favorite getaway.
When young Teddy Roosevelt first visited Island Falls, Maine, he fell in love with a secluded area of forest where he visited to quietly read his Bible – now known as Bible Point. There he also met William Sewall and Wilmot Dow, men who would become lifelong friends and who would follow him to Dakota Territory to manage his ranch.
LITTLE PICTURES. BIG MOMENTS.
