Doug Maulden-Locke

Doug Maulden-Locke was born in Massachusetts in 1974, raised in both Western MA and Orlando, FL, and grew up with a powerful desire to be an entertainer. His professional and personal experience includes roles both behind and in front of the camera, as well on stage and in theme parks. Doug began working in local affiliate television in 1991, primarily in behind-the-scenes technical roles for News, Sports, Talk Shows, and entertainment programming, eventually working his way up into management with a TV Centralcasting Hub supporting a series of local stations in the southeast. This experience led to a leadership position at the cable network level, overseeing global playout origination and numerous live and high profile program events in the US, Canada, Europe and Latin America. Over the years, Doug also held Entertainment roles at two Orlando, FL-based theme parks, performing as costumed characters in parades and on stage, which eventually overlapped into his broadcast career when he was tapped to don the 'Michigan J. Frog (Character)' for on-air promos and in-person station promotion events. In addition to his broadcast and performance experience, Doug is an emerging independent film producer, and also a long-time volunteer for comic-con and fan conventions, working a number of shows in many roles around the US and UK since 2007. His convention volunteer work led to a brief on-screen appearance alongside Carrie Fisher in the documentary Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds (2016).
