Drew Moerlein,

A Syracuse University graduate and Actors' Equity member since 2012, this New York performer moves between theater, film, television, and game studios with equal ease. Best known for Captain America in Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, the CEO in Horizon Forbidden West, and Paul Owen in Broadway's American Psycho, he keeps stretching across formats and genres throughout his ongoing career.

Drew Moerlein’s Path from Broadway Stages to Captain America

Stage work laid the foundation for this New York based actor and producer, a Syracuse University graduate who earned his Actors’ Equity card in 2012 and built a career across theater, film, television, and the recording booth. The pronunciation guide attached to his name, MORE-line, hints at how often audiences meet his work without putting a face to it.

The Broadway Breakthrough in American Psycho

A Tony nominated musical adaptation delivered his Broadway debut, where he originated the role of Paul Owen in American Psycho. Sharing the stage with Benjamin Walker and Alice Ripley, he helped anchor a production that reshaped Bret Easton Ellis’s cult novel into a sharp, stylized spectacle. Earlier, the national tour of SPANK! The Fifty Shades Parody cast him as Christian Grey, while regional credits stretched from The Sound of Music to Lost in Yonkers.

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra and the Voice of Steve Rogers

Skydance New Media’s cinematic action game handed him one of comics’ most recognizable figures, Captain America / Steve Rogers, the soldier behind Captain America. Set in Occupied Paris during World War II, the story pairs Rogers with Khary Payton’s Azzuri, the wartime Black Panther, in a narrative drawn from the Flags of Our Fathers comic series. Stepping into a part tied so closely to Chris Evans’s screen tenure put the performance under real scrutiny, and the casting became one of the higher profile gaming reveals of its announcement window.

Building a Resume Across Games and Screen

Well before the Marvel spotlight, he logged hours inside some of the industry’s biggest titles. Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 both carry his voice among their large ensemble casts, and Guerrilla Games’s Horizon Forbidden West lists him as a CEO. He also voiced Robert North in Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3. On camera, he played the quietly menacing Dusty opposite Mena Suvari across eight episodes of the supernatural drama South of Hell, with guest turns on Blue Bloods and NCIS: New Orleans, plus film roles in Blind, V/H/S, and Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose.
