Sean Roach

Sean Roach is host of The Sunny Side Up Show and Noodle and Doodle on Sprout, the first 24-hour preschool destination available on TV, on demand and online for kids ages 2-5 and their parents and caregivers. Along with his Sunny Side Up Show co-host, Chica the Chicken, Sean interacts live with preschoolers and their families across the country, as he shares daily birthday greetings, viewer-submitted crafts, fun facts and weekly themes ranging from colors, numbers and letters to manners, gardening and pets. Airing everyday from 9 a.m. - noon ET, The Sunny Side Up Show is television's only live show for preschoolers.

On Noodle and Doodle (airing weekend mornings at 9:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. ET), Sean and his friends Noodle, a loveable puppet who likes to help in the kitchen, and Doodle, a virtual, electronic friend, lead real preschoolers and viewers at home to make all kinds of nutritional recipes and kid-friendly crafts that families can create together using materials from around the home. All of the cooking and crafting takes place inside a whimsical double-decker bus where Sean and his helpers demonstrate step-by-step "how to" creations in an engaging, simple way that families can easily recreate.

A 34-year-old actor originally from Lansdale, PA, Sean had his first acting role in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and has performed in over 40 productions since 2001. Sean's passion for acting comes from his enjoyment of connecting with people and working creatively with a team.

Sean attended the Tyler School of Art with a BFA in painting. As an accomplished scenic artist he has worked with many notable companies like The Wilma Theater, Proof Productions and Busch Gardens. Sean is also actively involved in the theater community and is currently a member of the award-winning improvisational comedy troupe, Comedy Sportz.

Sean lives in the Philadelphia area with his wife and son, and his interests include fine art painting, and traveling.
