Titus Andromedon

Titus Andromedon (born Ronald Wilkerson) is a main character on the Netflix original series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, portrayed by actor Tituss Burgess. Character life Born Ronald Wilkerson in Chickasaw County, Mississippi, where he was raised by five aunts (one of whom, Ernestine, melted), Titus Andromedon knew from a young age he was gay, but had no choice but to stay in the closet. He had an extremely awkward time in high school as a popular kid on the football team with whom girls wanted to have sex. He was selected as prom king. He remained in the closet until his wedding day to childhood friend Vonda Jeanne Brooks (Pernell Walker). The thought of the wedding night was too much for him and he fled the reception without saying goodbye, travelling to New York to begin a new life under a new name, Titus Andromedon. Titus is an aspiring Broadway performer. He auditioned for The Lion King on Broadway at least 20 times and never got in because he did not come off as straight. He tried to put on his own production, but only got one audience member, who had come to serve him a copyright lawsuit. His rival is Coriolanus Burt (James Monroe Iglehart), who beat him for the role of Sharecropper #2/Cow in Alabama!, an all-black version of Oklahoma!, by running onto the stage in the middle of his performance at callbacks and announcing the death of Gianni Versace. Titus rents from Lillian Kaushtupper (Carol Kane), and makes extra money by walking around dressed as an Iron Man-esque character. Kimmy Schmidt (Ellie Kemper) becomes his roommate, and convinces him to return the costume and get back his investment fee, which, with some effort, he does. The money, $200, is stolen from him. He manages to get new headshots taken, and gets an agent. He auditions for the role of Spider-Man #12 in the new Broadway musical Spider-Man Too: 2 Many Spider-Men (a parody of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark and "Spider-Verse"). He loses the role to Coriolanus but is happy because he realizes that if Coriolanus is going out for the same awful roles he is then the Alabama! role was not the big break he thought it was.
